The petitioner seeks for a direction to respondents 2 and 3 to disburse the arrears to the petitioner under the 1996 and 2006 UGC Schemes authorised as per Exhibits P1 and P3 pay slips and as claimed by Exhibits P2 and P4 arrear bills forthwith. The second prayer is to direct respondents 2 and 3 to issue pay slip/authorisation to the petitioner from 1.1.2006 to 28.2.2010 under the 2006 UGC scheme to claim the arrears of salary and further to disburse the same within a time limit. 2. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the Indian Council of Agricultural Research(ICAR) had already provided financial assistance to the University to the extent of 80% of the additional expenditure involved in implementation of 1996 and 2006 UGC Schemes and the remaining 20% will be met by the Government of Kerala. W.P.(C)No.20572/11 -2- Various details have been provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Writ Petition. 3. Exhibit P1 is the revised pay slip dated 25.8.2009 issued to the petitioner. Exhibit P3 is the pay slip dated 30.9.2010 in the light of 2006 UGC Scheme. Exhibit P2 is the arrear bill for the 1996 scheme and Exhibit P4 is the arrear bill for the 2006 UGC Scheme. 4. The learned Standing Counsel for the University submitted that 80% of the financial assistance from ICAR alone has been received and the component from the Government is yet to be received. 5. The petitioner also relies upon Exhibit P5 minutes of the Executive Committee dated 30.4.2011. According to the petitioner, she/he is entitled to get the pay authorisation from 1.1.2006 with arrears on account of refixation of the salary under 2006 UGC Scheme with effect from 1.1.2006. 6. In similar Writ Petitions, this Court had considered various aspects and had directed the University to disburse the various amounts to the extent of 80% from the funds received from the ICAR, i.e., proportionately. The same direction will be W.P.(C)No.20572/11 -3- applicable as far as this case also is concerned. The revised pay slip from 1.1.2006 to 28.2.2010 will also be issued to the petitioner within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and the balance portion of the amounts due to the petitioner will be disbursed on the Government releasing the 20% component of their obligation expeditiously. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/-(T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) dsn
