RESPONDENTS ----------- 03. 12.07.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner’s prayer is for a direction to Respondents to grant him pay-scale of Matric Trained Teacher from the date he has attained 45 years of age or completed 15 years of service. For claiming this relief, petitioner has placed reliance on a Departmental letter no. 274,663,043, dated 04.11.1966. Reference of this letter has been given in the Office Order, issued by the District Superintendent of Education, East Champaran to Block Education Extension Officer, which was issued on 03.05.2003. Petitioner has not gone through the contents of this letter. He does not know whether this letter has any application in his case, but he claims his relief, based on this letter. This is just a case of 2 presumption. I do not find any merit in this application. Accordingly, it is dismissed. SKM (Mridula Mishra, J.)
