PRABHAKANT UPADHYAYA Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) M. Katju, J. By means of this writ petition the petitioners have challenged the impugned order dated 16. 7. 93, Annexure 10 to the petition and have prayed for a writ of mandamus directing respondent Nos. 1 and 2 to pay the same salary to the petitioners which is being paid to the Lecturers of State Ayurvedic College, Lucknow.

(2.) I have heard Sri Vinod Misra learned counsel for petitioners and learned Stand ing Counsel for the respondents.

(3.) IN my opinion the relevant point for decision in this case is whether the petitioners are doing the same work as the Lecturer in State Ayurvedic College, Luck-now. Annexure 9-A of the writ petition is the time-table of Lecturer in State Ayur vedic College, Lucknow. A perusal of the same shows that the lecturer Shri M. C. Bhatt teaches two periods on Monday, one period on Tuesday, one period on Wednes day and one period on Saturday. Thus Shri M. C. Bhatt teaches only five periods in a week and he enjoys the pay scale of Rs. 2275-4100 as stated in Para 7 of the writ petition. So far as the petitioners are con cerned their time-table is given in Annexure 7 and 12 to the writ petition.
