His appointment was approved by the Joint Director (Training) on 6.6.1989. He rep­resented to the Director of Higher Education, UP Allahabad that he is entitled to UGC grade as paid to the lecturers of other degree col­leges.

(3.) THE State Government in its letter dated 4.1.2006 written to the Director of Higher Education, UP Allahabad further observed that the pay scales on any post depend upon the source of recruitment, eligibility and the selection process. There is difference in the conditions of service of LT and B.Ed. Teach­ers and that their selections and appointments of LT grade teachers is not approved by the concerned Universities/Higher Education Service Commission. These teachers teach­ing in the four LT Colleges were, therefore, not entitled to UGC pay scales.
