SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.27649 OF 2007 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of January, 2008 ORDER The petitioners are persons, who were deputed for Ph.D under the Faculty Improvement Programme of the UGC. They have filed this writ petition mainly for a direction to the respondents to grant them deputation benefits for the Faculty Improvement Programme of the UGC. The petitioners now submit that an interim order may be passed directing the 3rd respondent to countersign their bills for payment of salary which cannot in any event be denied to them in so far the UGC provides funds for employing guest Lecturers in their place. After hearing both sides I direct the 3rd respondent to see that the petitioners are paid salary which payment shall be subject to further orders from this Court. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
