J U D G M E N T Petitioners claim that they are entitled to get the scale of pay attached to the post of Headmaster even without completing the required 15 years of service. Since their appointments are after 15.9.1988, they are not entitled to the benefits, as held by the Division Bench of this Court in Annet D'Cunha v. State of Kerala (2004(1) KLT 161). Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed.
