BY SRI.P.V.JAYACHANDRAN FOR RESPONDENT THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/04/2008 ALONGWITH W.A.NOS.680 AND 782/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: J.B.KOSHY & K.HEMA, JJ. -------------------------------------- W.A.NOS.660, 680 & 782 OF 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated the 3rd April, 2008 J U D G M E N T KOSHY,J. Petitioner in this case was promoted as Associate Professor (non-cadre) considering the long service in the University. He was promoted much before I.C.A.R scale was introduced. We have held in earlier writ appeal which resulted in Ext.P5 judgment that the non- cadre promotees will not get a seniority because of the placement in the non-cadre. Therefore, they may not be eligible for further promotions as the post is in the non-cadre. But their salary in the cadre of Associate Professor shall be protected. The learned Single Judge in the impugned judgment only followed the above directions in the writ appeal. Hence, there is no merit in the appeal. These appeals are dismissed. However, the learned counsel for the appellant submitted that further time is required for payment of arrears. The learned counsel for the writ petitioners submitted that W.A.660,680 & 782/2008 2 the University has collected the alleged entire arrears from the I.C.A.R scale for payment of arrears of salary. When the salary scale was revised to all teaching staff, they are also entitled to revised scale in the post they are holding. However, time for payment of arrears of salary as ordered by the learned Single Judge is extended by two months from today. J.B.KOSHY, JUDGE K.HEMA, JUDGE prp
