CWP(T) No. 7201/2008 01.11.2010 Present: Mr. Satyen Vaidya, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Dy. A.G. with Mr. Ramesh Thakur, Asstt. A.G. for respondents No.1, 2 & 4 Mr. Ajeet Saklani, vice Mr. Sandeep Sharma, Asstt. Solicitor General of India, for respondent No.3 It is not in dispute that petitioner was awarded selection grade in the scale of `.120-5-175 w.e.f. 15.9.1964. The same has been revised over a period of time and last such fixation of selection grade took place on 31.12.1992 when his pay was fixed at `.2250/-. It is also not in dispute that petitioner had retired on 31.1.1993. It is the petitioner’s grievance that benefit of selection grade was not given to him. He is claiming fixation of his pay at `.2550 + `.50/-. 2. Vide letter dated 28.5.1996 (Annexure R-I) State itself decided to grant selection grade of `.120-5-175 to 262 JBT teachers of Districts Una, Hamirpur and Kangra provided their period of posting is between 1.5.1957 upto 31.3.1965. There is also no dispute that petitioner fulfils such conditions. 3. Vide another letter dated 13.6.1996 (Annexure R-II) it stands clarified by the State Government that selection grade is to be calculated year-wise, subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. One such condition being that though fixation is to be made from the date of award of selection grade but however arrears would be paid only for a period of 38 months prior to 28.5.1996 i.e. 29.3.1993 onwards. 4. Consequently petitioner is entitled for fixation of his selection grade on the revised scale in terms of letters dated 28.5.1996 and 13.6.1996. If already not done, respondents are directed to do the needful. Consequences shall follow in accordance with law. With the aforesaid observations, petition stands disposed off.
