WP 3191/11 1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.3191/2011 Ravindra Paulad More V/s The State & others. _______________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | Shri B.S. Deshmukh, Advocate for petitioner. Shri V.H. Dighe, AGP for respondent nos.1 & 2. Mrs.A.N. Ansari, Advocate for respondent nos.3 & 4. CORAM: B.R. GAVAI & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. Date: 10.10.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has prayed for grant of higher pay-scale from the date of his initial entry into service. There are various guidelines laid down by the Government in the Government resolution dated 9.7.1987, which provide for 25% of the posts to primary schools to which 5th to 7th Stds. are attached to be given higher pay-scale i.e. B.A., B.Sc., B.Ed. According to the respondent – management, the higher pay-scale has been WP 3191/11 2 granted to the petitioner with effect from 13.6.2005 taking into consideration those guidelines. In the affidavit filed on behalf of the Education Officer, it is stated that the Head Master has been directed to consider the claim of the petitioner as per seniority. In that view of the matter, we find that no case is made out for interference at this stage. The petition is, therefore, rejected. In the event, if the petitioner finds that the management or the Head Master has erroneously determined his seniority, it is always permissible for him to take recourse to provisions of Rule 12 of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Rules, and approach the appropriate authority.
