J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking for various directions with regard to the induction into the UGC scheme, to refix the petitioner's pay and allowances based on the said scheme and grant all the consequential benefits to the petitioner including DCRG, pension and commutation. 2. Learned Standing Counsel for the University produced before me for perusal a copy of order No.GA/C2/39123/09 dated 30.09.2010 by which various teachers have been reinducted into the UGC/ICAR scheme as Professors on Rs.4500-7300 scale of pay. Therein, the petitioner is serial No.19 and the date of induction is 20.01.1990. Therefore, the learned counsel for the petitioner prayed that a direction may be issued to refix the salary and grant pension and other benefits in terms of the same. 3. Learned Standing Counsel for the University submitted that the Local Fund Audit will have to clear the objections if any W.P.(C) No.12051/2005 2 and sufficient time will be required to disburse the entire amount to the petitioner. Learned Government Pleader on the basis of the written instruction given by the 5th respondent submitted that the payment of pensionary benefits under the State scale was cleared by the Local Fund Audit subject to approval of reinduction into the UGC scheme. Therefore, it is evident that no further objections are remaining from the Local Fund Audit. There will be a direction to the University to revise the salary, refix the same and grant the arrears towards salary as well as pensionary benefits based on the reinduction of the petitioner into the UGC scheme as ordered in the order dated 30.09.2010. Appropriate action will be taken and the entire amounts will be disbursed within a period of two months. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
