XVIII **** /2/ 14.07.2009 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner is working as Assistant Teacher in Government Middle School, Indrarukh, Anchal Jamalpur, district Munger. He has filed this application for quashing the entry made 2 by the District Accounts Officer, Munger, in hisservice book on 05.07.1999 whereby his salary as on 13.04.1987 has been fixed as Rs.1290/- instead of Rs.1470/-. Petitioner’s case is that the entry has been made by the District Accounts Officer, without properly considering the State Government’s Resolution No. 3/PAR/01-3/89- 6022 F(2), dated 18.12.1989, issued for fixation of pay scale of teachers in the revised scale, appointed in intermediate trained pay scale. The State Government’s Resolution No. 3/PAR/01-3/89-6022 F(2), dated 18.12.1989, provided different pay scales for fixation of salary of the employees of the State Government. Table No. 16 relates to pay scale for fixation of salary of the employees of the State Government, appointed in the intermediate trained teachers’ pay scale in between 01.01.1986 to 01.03.1989. The District Accounts Officer without properly considering the guidelines under the resolution has reduced pay scale of the petitioner and fixed his salary as Rs.1290/- on 13.04.1987 instead of Rs.1470/-. 3. The issue relating to fixation of salary in the pay scale, as per the Government’s resolution, was considered by this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 8333 of 1999, in the case of similarly situated Assistant Teacher, Shiv Kant Jha. In third paragraph of the judgment giving reference to Clause 8 of the resolution, it has been 3 decided that the salary of intermediate trained teachers in accordance with the resolution should be Rs.1470/- and not Rs.1290/-. 4. I find that the case of the petitioner is fully covered by this judgment, as such, the entry made by the District Accounts Officer, Munger, on 13.04.1987 in the service book of the petitioner fixing his salary as Rs.1290/- instead of Rs.1470/- is quashed. The District Accounts Officer, Munger, is directed to make necessary correction in the service book of the petitioner fixing his salary and other consequential benefits in the scale of Rs.1470/- preferably within twelve weeks from the date of production/communication of this order. 5. With these observations and directions, this application is allowed. Cp:2/S.A. (Mridula Mishra, J.)
