Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J. 1. All these three petitions are connected. The issue involved in the case is the entitlement of the petitioners to the merger of a part of Dearness Allowance to basic pay. In C.W.P. No.6709 of 1988, the contention of the petitioners is that the basic pay for the purpose of grant of interim relief and other consequential benefits shall be made C.W.P. No.6709 of 1988 -2- w.e.f. 01.01.1986. It also contains a prayer for grant of two installments as interim relief from 01.06.1983 to 01.03.1985 as had been granted to the teachers working in the Regional Engineering College, Kurukshetra. 2. On behalf of the University, the 3rd respondent has filed the counter stating that as a result of revision of pay scales w.e.f. 01.01.996, the relief claimed by the petitioners had already been given to them and that the claim of the petitioners become redundant and the writ petition could be treated as infructuous. 3. There is no representation for the petitioners and I have no reason to believe that the petitioners have not been granted the reliefs as contended by the University. Consequently, the C.W.P. No.6709 of 1988 is disposed of as having become infructuous. 4. As regards the petitioners in C.W.P. No.6710 of 1988, they are all Lecturers employed at S.D. Mahila Mahavidyalya, Narwana. They also seek for a similar relief to include the amount of Dearness Allowance for the purpose of calculation of interim reliefs and they stake the claim drawing parity to the case of teachers under the Department of Education (College and University Cadre) whose pay scales had been revised in January, 1976 w.e.f. 1.1.1973 on the UGC pattern but it was not applied to the petitioners on the basis of the State of Haryana Notification dated 29.02.1980 that did not provide for such a change. In C.W.P. No.7195 of 1988, the petitioners are teachers in Chhotu Ram Kisan College, Jind and their claim is also based on the same terms as how it is claimed by the petitioners in C.W.P. No.6710 of 1988. I have no reason to take a different view from how the case has been disposed C.W.P. No.6709 of 1988 -3- of taking note of the response of the University in C.W.P. No.6709 of 1988. The above two writ petitions are also dismissed as having become infructuous. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE December 19 , 2011 Pankaj*
