(1.) D. P. Singh, J. Heard learned Counsel for the parties.
(2.) PLEADINGS are complete and with the consent of the parties, this petition is being disposed of finally under the Rules of the Court.
(3.) CHAPTER XXIII of the Statutes governs the conditions of service of non teach ing staff of affiliated Degree Colleges and was inserted in the Statute book w. e. f. 11th May, 1977 but it is evident from the record that the petitioner was appointed prior to the aforesaid insertion. Therefore, recourse to CHAPTER XXIII could not have been taken by the Management as there is nothing to show that the insertion was retrospective in operation and neither there is any such suggestion on behalf of the Management. .
