During the course of arguments, counsel for the respondent submitted that pursuant to the award which was passed on 08.01.1978, the respondent cannot be taken in service after her reinstatement as Principal in Indira Gandhi Mahila Mhavidyalaya, Kaithal, as she is now 78 years of age and suffering from cancer. On asking, counsel for the petitioner has placed on record without prejudice to the right of the management the amount . . . 1 C.R.No.2051 of 2008 (O&M) calculated which would be payable to the respondent in case this revision petition is presumed to be dismissed. The calculations though have been disputed by respondent, indicate that a sum of Rs.4.52 lacs, is payable to the respondent. At the same time, counsel for the petitioner has contended that as the matter remained stayed for number of years, the proportionate cut should be imposed as the management should not be burdened for any amount for which it is not responsible for delay. Taking into consideration, the age of the respondents and the controversies raised in the revision petition, the parties have been advised to amicably settle the matter and the petitioners have been asked to pay a lump sum amount as one time settlement. Counsel for the respondents has agreed to give up all her claims in case a sum of Rs.3.5 lacs is paid to the respondents within three equal monthly installments. The offer given by the respondents has been accepted by counsel for the petitioners on the instructions of Sh.Ram Bahadur, Vice President, Governing Body, and has stated that the management will pay an amount of Rs.3.5 lacs. However, counsel for the petitioners submit that Indira Gandhi Mahila Mhavidyalaya, Kaithal, being governed by grant -in-aid Rules of 1981, the management is entitled to share the financial burden with the Government as per the rules. . . . 2 C.R.No.2051 of 2008 (O&M) It will be open to the Managing Committee to recover the amount, if any, payable under rules from the State, if so advised and permissible under law. This revision petition is disposed of as having been compromised. A sum of Rs.3.5 lacs will be paid by the petitioners in three equal monthly installments. First installment of Rs.1.5 lacs will be paid to the respondents by 01.10.2009. The remaining two installments of Rs.1 lac, each will be paid by Ist November 2009, and Ist December 2009. It will be open to the Managing Committee to hand over three post-dated cheques. Disposed of. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE September 11, 2009. rka . . . 3
