(ORAL) (1). This order shall dispose of CWP Nos.9750, 11197, 11244, 19764 & 23390 of 2010 as issues involved in these cases are common in nature. (2). The petitioners are the Managing Committees of the private colleges who receive Grant-in-Aid from the State Government. Their grievance is that even though they are admitted in the Grant-in-Aid scheme, however, the due amount in terms of the revised pay scales granted to CWP No.9750 of 2010.doc - 2 – the Teaching faculty on the recommendations made by the University Grants Commission are not being released by the State Government. (3). Learned State counsel seeks more time to have instructions in the matter. (4). In my considered view, there is no necessity to adjourn these matters for the sake of reply/affidavit from the State Government. Suffice it to mention here that the petitioner-Colleges shall submit their claims in terms of the UGC recommendations as adopted/notified/approved by the State of Punjab within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order and on receipt thereof, the State Government is directed to consider and dispose of the same within a period of three months from the date of its receipt. (5). Needless to say that in case the petitioner(s) are found entitled for the Grant-in-Aid at the revised rate as per the UGC recommendations, the needful, in this regard, shall be done within the stipulated period. (6). With these directions the writ petition(s) stand disposed of. (7). Dasti . 05.04.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge
