For Petitioner ... M/s. R.Arunmozhi For Respondents ... Mrs. Lita Srinivasan Government Advocate ORDER The grievance of the petitioner is that her junior one Ramalakshmi is getting more pay. But the grievance has no merit. Admittedly, the junior was promoted as Headmistress of a Primary School long before 01.06.1988. It is true that before 01.06.1988, the scale of pay of secondary grade teachers as well as the scale https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ of pay of primary school Headmasters/Headmistress was the same. The junior was promoted as Headmistress of a primary school even before 01.06.1988. But the petitioner never worked in the post of Headmistress of primary school until her retirement on 31.05.2000. Though she was offered promotion to the post of Headmistress of a primary school, she declined promotion to the post of Headmistress of primary school in 1991, 1994 and 1998. Hence, the petitioner cannot have grievance over the more pay being given to one Ramalakshmi, who was admittedly junior at the time of entry into service. There is no merit in this Writ Petition. 2. Accordingly, the Writ Petition fails and the same is dismissed. No costs.
