————-
07 05.07.2010 Counter affidavits and rejoinder thereto have been filed,
with consent of parties, these writ applications are being disposed
of at this stage itself.
These cases amply demonstrate that Universities in
stead of generating academics, generates more litigation uselessly.
In all these cases, the dispute is with regard to pay fixation of
Readers.
It appears that the facts are not in dispute. The question
is in relation to deliberate or otherwise confusion as created by the
– 10 –
University Authorities and the State Auditors. It appears that State
Government took a conscious decision to implement the UGC pay
package in respect of University Teachers, as had been set by
Ministry of Human Resources, Central Government with effect
from 01.01.1996. The Central Government itself had fixed the
date for implementation of the said pay revision.
Consequent to the decision of the State Government to
adopt the said, the Universities set up their Pay Revision
Committees. These are statutory committees, which are to look
into the matter and fix pay-scale accordingly. The three cases deal
with Patna University and the rest three cases deal with T.M.
Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur.
The facts start from the letter dated 6th November, 1998
of the Government of India in the Department of Human
Resources Development (Department of Education) as addressed
to the Secretary, University Grants Commission, New Delhi with
copies marked to inter alia all Education Secretaries of all the State
Governments. The said letter is Annexure-2 to C.W.J.C. No.
10027 of 2010. The said letter is in respect of revision of pay-
scales of Teachers in Central University following the revision of
pay-scales of Central Government employees on recommendation
of the 5th Central Pay Commission. The relevant part thereof, is
quoted hereunder:-

The State Government accepted the said
recommendation and also decided to implement the same also with
effect from 01.01.1996. This would be evident from letter dated
20th July, 2001 of the State Government in the Department of
Higher Education, which is Annexure-1 to the said writ petition.
This letter specifically refers to the letter of the Central
Government dated 06.11.1998, as quoted above. It clearly states
that the pay revision would be effective from 01.01.1996. It
appears that there were some confusions with regard to this
fixation of minimum pay-scale of Rs.14,940/-. The confusion was,
what is the period of five years and when it would start. The
Central Government clarified the same by its letter dated 24th
March, 1999, which is part of Annexure-7 in the said writ petition.
The relevant part whereof is quoted hereunder:-
"...S No. Point of doubt Clarification
2. How the pay of In case of Readers/Lecturers
Readers/Lecturers (Selection Grade) who were
(Selection Grade) in position as on 1.1.96 but
who were in did not have five years of

position as on service in the grade as on
1.1.96 but did not 1.1.96, the pay may be
have five years of stepped up to the stage of
service in the 14,940 on completion of five
grade as on 1.1.96 years of service in the grade
is to be regulated. if the pay otherwise
admissible in terms of CCS
(RP) Rules, 1997 is less than
the stage of Rs.14,940/-
......."
It may be noted that this letter was sent to all the
Education Secretaries all over the country as also to the Registrar
of all the Universities in India. In my view, the import of these
provisions are clear and unambiguous and, did not involve any
confusion unless someone wanted to crate one, so did the statutory
Pay Fixation Committee, have no confusions about it. Upon the
matter being referred to the statutory committee, they looked into
the matter wherever they found that the pay fixation, as notified by
the Pay Fixation Committee, would show that they took a
conscious decision in the matter in respect of some of the Readers.
Their pay was fixed at Rs.14,940/- with effect from 01.01.1996
and in respect of several others from different dates in subsequent
years. In respect of Dr. B.K. Pandey of the Department of
Statistics, Patna University, he was granted the minimum pay of
Rs.14,940/- with effect from 15.01.1998 i.e. five years after his
promotion as a Reader with effect from 15.01.1993. A reference
to Annexure-6 to the C.W.J.C. No.10027 of 2010 would show that
another Dr. B.K. Pandey of the Department of Botany, who was
– 13 –
promoted to the post of Reader on 30.07.1987, was granted this
pay with effect from 01.01.1996. Similarly, if we take the case of
Dr. Renuka Shrivastawa of the Department of Philosophy, she was
granted this pay of Rs.14,940/- with effect from 03.03.2000,
because her date of promotion was reckoned on 03.03.1995. Thus,
it would be seen that the Pay Fixation Committee read the circular
plainly and without ifs and buts. It considered that the pay had to
be stepped up to Rs.14,940/- upon a persons completing five years
as a Reader. In plain and simple word, if five years were
completed prior to 01.01.1996, as on 01.01.1996 his minimum pay
would be Rs.14,940/-. If on 01.01.1996 he had not completed five
years, upon completion of five years from the date of promotion,
he would get the minimum pay. This is the fact as evident from
the clarification given by the Central Government, as noted above.
But, someone in the State and in the University suddenly got a
brilliant brain wave to generate litigation. The stand is that when
the State Government adopted the pay revision recommendation, it
so adopted from 01.01.1996 and, that being so, everything would
come to light only after 01.01.1996, as if the date was chosen by
the State Government on its own. I feel sorry for the time wasted
because of this wasteful stand. Firstly, 01.01.1996 is not a date
chosen by the State, it was the date chosen by the Central
Government itself. State decided to adopt the entire package
commonly referred to the UGC Package and the date has
accordingly come upon the State. The ultimate decision was taken
by the State in the year 2001, but was made effective co-terminus
– 14 –
with the Central Government on 01.01.1996. Thus, 01.01.1996 is
not a magic figure invented by the State.
Now, coming to the stand of the University and the
State and foremost the State Auditors. They say that the packages
to be implemented from 01.01.1996 and, five years have to be
completed from 01.01.1996 and, thus, in their view no person can
get this minimum pay-scale of Rs.14,940/- prior to 01.01.2001,
absurdity at large on the face of it. I am sure that the clarification
issued by the Central Government was also received in the State
and the Universities. If at all, there was any confusion earlier, the
confusions are stood remedied. In one of the counter affidavits
reference has been made to another letter of the Central
Government being letter dated 18.10.2002, this is the Annexure-3
in C.W.J.C. No.8244 of 2010. The relevant paragraph of
Annexure-3 is quoted hereunder:-
“……The fixation of the pay of
the Lecturer (Selection Grade)/Readers
under the MPS in the pre-revised scale of
Rs.3000-5000 who were selected strictly
in accordance with the rules and
regulations framed by the UGC and who
were in position as Lecturer (Selection
Grade)/Readers as on 1.1.96, will be
made in a manner that they get their pay
fixed at the minimum of Rs.14940/- in the
revised scale of Rs.12000-420-18300 as
and when they complete 5 years in the
grade/scale of Rs.12000-18300.”
Here, someone again has picked up a third but great
– 15 –
confusion. If one refers to above quoted paragraph in the last line
it is written “they complete 5 years in the grade/scale of Rs.12000-
18300”. It is absolutely clear, if one reads the above portion of the
same paragraph and earlier clarifications and the original letter, all
they mean to say is, when they have completed five years in the
grade, the scale referred is the revised pay-scale and does not
create any confusion, if one does not want to be confused.
Thus, looking at all these clarifications, it is clear that
the Pay Revision Committee was correct. It was a statutory
committee. The State Auditors could not have sat over its
decision. If it had any reservation about it, it was open to the
Auditors to make a reference to the Pay Revision Committee and
only after the Pay Revision Committee, which has been repeatedly
held to be a statutory body, met, discussed and decided, could the
same be implemented for its simple principle of law that a
statutory notification issued by a statutory body can only be altered
by the statutory authority by issuance of a statutory notification
and not by mere Auditors’ objection or State Government
directives? Thus, merely on basis of audit objection neither State
could direct the Universities nor the Universities could act
thereupon, much less, to the detriment of the petitioners.
In my view, there being no confusion in the matter,
except the confusion in the minds of the State Auditors, which was
unfounded and baseless. The entire controversy generated and
hoards of Lecturers being troubled with reduction of pay and
recovery of money from them is a wasteful exercise. Fixation of
– 16 –
pay by the Pay Revision Committee, as notified, is originally
correct and no correction is needed. The payments made in
accordance therewith are correct and no recovery is called for.
In that view of the matter, all the writ petitions are
allowed and Universities are restrained from interfering with the
pay-scales, as fixed by the Pay Revision Committee, in any
manner and wherever payments have been withheld on this count,
within fortnight from today, payments will be made.
