The State and ors ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr S.A. Deo, Adv for petitioner. Ms Bodade, AGP for respdts 1 & 2 Mr Dharmadhikari, Adv for respdts 3 & 4 Coram : D.D. Sinha and A.P. Bhangale, JJ Dated : 31st July 2008 Heard Mr Deo, the learned counsel for petitioner; Ms Indira Bodade, the learned AGP for respondents no. 1 and 2 and Mr Dharmadhikari, the learned counsel for respondents no. 3 and 4. Writ Petition is directed against the order dated 8.5.2007 passed by the Divisional Social Welfare Officer whereby claim of the petitioner for grant of graduate pay-scale came to be rejected. Following facts are not disputed. The petitioner was appointed in Blind Boys Institute vide order dated 15.7.1980 and at the relevant time, she was untrained teacher whereas respondent no. 6 who also was 2 appointed on 15.7.1980, was a trained teacher. It is not in dispute that employees are entitled to get 25% trained graduate pay-scale only after completion of 12 years from the date of acquiring qualification. Petitioner acquired necessary qualification in the year 1984 and, therefore, respondent no. 6 undoubtedly is senior and is more eligible to get 25% graduate pay-scale. Consequently, no case is made out for showing indulgence. Writ Petition is dismissed accordingly. Judge. Judge. hsjoshi
