BABU RAM Vs. STATE OF HARYANA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) By this common judgment, Civil Writ Petition No. 16038 of 1998; 1116 of 1999 and 961 of 2000 can conveniently be disposed of together as the facts in all these writ petitions are identical. We are taking the facts from Civil Writ Petition No. 16038 of 1999.

(2.) The petitioners were appointed in the Haryana Education Service Class-II (School Cadre) by way of direct recruitment. They were promoted to H.E.S. Class I in School Inspection Cadre from different dates given below. <FRM>JUDGEMENT_207_LAWS(P&H)7_2000(1).html</FRM>

(3.) In the written statement filed, pleas have been controverted. It has been asserted that the petition is highly belated. Furthermore, it is the case of the respondents that the petitioners belong to the cadre of School and Inspection side and retired as HES-I. They have no parity with that of College Teachers because, as per provision of Clause-II of University Grant Commission notification dated 27.1.1976, the revised pay scales granted to the officers of College Cadre were not admissible to Class-II officers of Schools Cadre. The seniority of Class-II officers of School and College Cadre was common upto 11.4.1986. Thereafter, new rules governing the officers of College Cadre came into being, but their qualifications and mode of recruitment were different. Their nature of work, pay scale and avenue of promotion are also different.
