O.P.No.36953 OF 2002
----------------------------------------
Dated this the 8th day of February, 2008
JUDGMENT
The petitioner is challenging Exts.P8 whereby the
petitioner’s pay has been directed to be refixed as stated in
Ext.P8 and the consequent entry in his service book namely
Ext.P9. In Ext.P8 the first reason stated is that the petitioner
was granted Headmaster’s higher grade with effect from
1.7.1988, which is wrong. The petitioner’s contention is that this
statement itself is incorrect because the petitioner was granted
Headmaster’s higher grade with effect from 1.7.1984. The fact
that this is a mistake is admitted by the 1st respondent in his
counter affidavit. Therefore clearly Exts.P8 and consequential
order Ext.P9 are unsustainable.
Accordingly, I quash Exts.P8 and P9 and direct the 1st
respondent to reconsider the matter in the light of Ext.P7 order
afresh and pass appropriate orders thereon. This shall be done
within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy
of this judgment.
The original petition is disposed of as above.
