The petitioner retired from service as an Inspector of Muslim
Education on 31/03/2006. Prior to his appointment as such, he was drawing
a higher scale of pay in the cadre of High School Assistant (Rs.6500-
10550). Going by the 1997 pay revision orders, two pay scales were shown
against Inspector of Muslim Education, namely, Rs.6675-10550 and
Rs.5500-9075.
2. The petitioner was a Selection Grade High School Assistant
(Arabic) when he was appointed as Inspector of Muslim Education. On
such appointment, he was placed in the pay scale of Rs.5500-9075 which is
lower than the pay scale sanctioned in the cadre of High School Assistant,
namely, Rs.6675-10550. It is contended that the lower scale of pay granted
to the petitioner is applicable to Women Inspector for Muslim Girls
Education which is intended for Primary Schools. Infact, the issue is now
settled in favour of the petitioner as per the judgment of this Court in W.P.
(C).No.27598/2006 whereby this Court has upheld the claim of another
W.P.(C). No.15884/2009
-:2:-
person, appointed as Inspector of Muslim Education, for the grant of scale
of pay of Rs.6675-10550.
3. The petitioner has already filed Ext.P2 representation before
the Government in the matter. Therefore, there will be a direction to the
first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 especially in the light
of the judgment in W.P.(C).No.27598/2006 within a period of three months
from the date of receipt of the copy of this judgment after hearing the
petitioner. The petitioner will make available a copy of the judgment in
W.P.(C).No.27598/2006 at the time of hearing.
The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs.
(T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.)
