CWP(T) No. 4425/2008 (OA 1214/97) 15.5.2009 Present: Ms. Aruna Shrma, Advocate vice Ms. Jyotsna Rewal Dua, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Vivek Thakur, Addl. Advocate General and Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. Advocate General for respondent No. 1. The petition was filed on 1.7.1997 before the erstwhile H.P. State Administrative Tribunal. The same was admitted on 24.2.1998. By virtue of the provision of the Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal (Transfer of decided and pending cases and applications) Act, 2008 (No. 14 of 2008) the matter now stands transferred to this Court. On 20.4.2009 this Court had directed the learned counsel to obtain instruction from the petitioner. Registry was also independently directed to issue notice to the petitioner. As per office report dated 12.5.2009 notice stands issued to the petitioner for hearing. Learned counsel for the petitioner pleads no instructions. The petitioner is seeking revision of pay scale and allowance and release thereof. The respondents in their reply have clarified that the petitioner was appointed, not by the State but by the H.P. State Council for Child Welfare which is a Society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. His appointment was against the centrally sponsored scheme where there is no provision for regular pay scale to the employees engaged with regard to specific work to be carried out under that -2- scheme. In this view of the matter no legally enforceable right of the petitioner stands violated. Infact from Annexure-A, letter dated 13.4.1989, it is evident that the petitioner had undertaken to accept the services and receive wages/salary on lower scale and not claim arrears. For the aforesaid reasons the present petition being devoid of merit is dismissed. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. May 15, 2009 (PK)
