The petitioner seeks directions against the Respondents to pay the petitioner the salary 2 as has been paid to the trained primary teacher with effect from 6.6.1997. 2. It is the contention of the petitioner that the petitioner was appointed as a Primary Teacher in Municipal Urdu Primary School on 6.6.1997, run by the Municipal Council, Parbhani. She was being paid a consolidated salary of Rs. 1,500/- (Rupees one thousand five hundred) p.m. According to the petitioner, she is entitled to be paid the pay-scale as being paid to the other trained Primary Teacher. In spite of making repeated representations, the petitioner is refused the pay-scale and as such has filed the present petition. 3. Mr.Talekar, learned counsel for the petitioner contents that as the petitioner has been appointed as a Primary Teacher and is also trained Primary Teacher, the petitioner deserves to be given the pay-scale as being given to other trained Primary Teachers on the concept of equal pay - equal work. The Respondents can not deny the said pay-scale to the petitioner. 3 4. This Court while admitting the Writ Petition vide its order dated 22.02.2001, have directed the Respondent Municipal Council to pay the petitioner the pay-scale as is admissible to other Primary Teachers from 1.3.2001. 5. Mr.Talekar, learned counsel states that the services of the petitioner have been regularised. Mr.Bora, learned counsel for the Respondent Municipal Council disputes said fact but states that pursuant to the interim orders passed by this Court, the petitioner is being paid the salary as per prescribed pay-scale. 6. In view of the fact that by virtue of an interim order, the pay-scale is being given to the petitioner as is admissible and prescribed, we are not inclined to enter into the other dispute, we make Rule absolute in terms of interim order directing the Respondent Municipal Council to continue to pay the prescribed pay- scale as is admissible to the trained Primary Teacher i.e. the petitioner. 4 7. Rule accordingly made absolute with no order as to costs. (S.V.GANGAPURWALA,J.) (B.R.GAVAI,J.) asp/office/wp331000
