Yesterday also when this case was listed no one had appeared to represent the petitioners. In this writ application the claim of the petitioners for payment of salary in 2 the pay scale of Rs. 730-1080 with effect from 1.4.1981 is not only belated by 18 years but would otherwise be not admissible as it has been made clear that the pay scale of untrained science graduate teacher was to be only in the pay scale of Inter trained teacher. The Government policy of fixation of pay having been not challenged by the petitioners, this Court would find that the reasons mentioned in the impugned order dated 27.1.1999 denying the benefit of pay scale of Rs. 730-1080 is absolutely justified and that such belated claim of the petitioners even otherwise could not have been redressed by any court of law after expiry of a period of 18 years from the date of cause of action. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
