For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. Advocate General and Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. Advocate General. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioners are aggrieved since they are not paid their wages as per Grant-in-Aid Rules. Learned Deputy Advocate General on instruction submits that the petitioners have been appointed as Shastri by the PTA concerned and since they are not duly qualified, they are not entitled to the Grant-in-Aid. It is the contention of the petitioners that as far as the oriental teachers are concerned, Shastri has been approved as recognized qualification and many teachers 2 have been appointed as PTA teachers and they have been given Grant-in-Aid also. Still further it is submitted that Shastris who have been appointed on regular basis are also getting their salaries. There is no reply as yet. There will be a direction to the second respondent to look into all these aspects and take appropriate action without discriminating the petitioners within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition by the petitioner concerned. 2. The writ petitions are disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 26th October, 2010 (Justice Kuldip Singh), (tr) Judge.
