(ORAL) In this civil writ petition, the petitioners seek a direction to declare the post of Librarians of the 'College Cadre' as 'Class-I post' and to grant them the same pay scale and other monetary benefits as are admissible to the College Lecturers. The aforesaid claim has been sought on the basis of the recommendations made by a Committee constituted by the State Government. It appears that during the pendency of this writ petition, some of the benefits like pay-scales and inclusion in 'Class-I Category' have been granted to the petitioners at par with the College Lecturers. They, however, claim that their 'Service Rules' be also framed by including them along with C.W.P.No.8758 of 1999 -2- the College Lecturers. In this regard, the petitioner-Association is claimed to have represented to the State Government vide a representation dated 8.4.2008, (Annexure P-20). After hearing learned counsel for the parties and having regard to the nature of the relief sought in this writ petition, however, without going into the merits thereof and as prayed for by learned counsel for the petitioners also, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the left out claims of the petitioners as contained in the representation dated 8.4.2008 and dispose of the same in accordance with law by passing a speaking order within a period of six months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
