(2.) THE learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that, during the pendency of the writ petition order dated 19.01.2012 has been passed which has initiated filing of the present amendment application. By the impugned order dated 19.01.2012, the claim of the petitioner has been rejected on the ground that at the relevant time, the requisite qualification for appointment on the post of Headmistress was Post -Graduate Trained and since, the petitioner was not possessing the said qualification, she is not entitled for the pay -scale as claimed by her.
