IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP (T) No. 7826/2008 Decided on:13.10. 2009 Ramesh Chand.. …Petitioner. Versus Director of Education and another. …Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajiv Sharma, J. Whether approved for reporting ?1. For the Peititoner : Mr. Lalit Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. Advocate General. Rajiv Sharma, J. The petitioner was appointed against the post of OT on 15.10.1987 in sequel to interview held on 8.7.1987. He was regularized on 16.4.1999 after the issuance of special certificate. He was granted pay scale of Rs. 5000-8100. Mr. Lalit Sharma, Advocate has vehemently argued that his client is entitled to pay scale of Rs. 5480-8925. His precise case is that his client at the time of regularization was in the un-revised pay scale of 1640-2925 and the same was subsequently revised to Rs. 5480-8925. 1 Whether the reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2 I have gone through the contents of the petition and the reply filed by the respondents. The pay scale of the post of Shastri was Rs. 1500-2640, which was revised to Rs. 5000-8100. This pay scale was granted to those Shastris, who were not trained graduate teacher. The petitioner has not obtained the degree of Shiksha Shastri and thus was rightly given the pay scale of Rs. 5000-8100. The petitioner has not assailed Annexures RA and RB on the basis of which pay scale of Rs. 5000-8100 has been granted to him. The Government employee is only entitled to the pay scale prevalent at the time of recruitment. Accordingly, in view of the observations made hereinabove, there is no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. 13.10. 2009 (Rajiv Sharma ), J. *awasthi*
