ORDER Narendra Nath Tiwari, J 1. In this writ application, the petitioner has prayed for a direction on the respondents to make payment of revised pay scale as per the recommendation of the University Grant Commission (in short 'UGC'), which has been implemented by the University. 2. It has been stated that the petitioner was appointed as Lecturer in Markum College of Commerce, Hazaribagh. He has been paid his salary, but not in the appropriate scale as per the recommendation of the UGC, for which the State Government had already principally agreed. It has been submitted that other similarly situated Lecturers working in different colleges, including the petitioner's College, are getting their salary on the revised pay scale, as recommended by the UGC. The petitioner made several requests and also filed representation before the University authorities, but till date no order has been passed. 3. Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the University-Respondent submitted that the petitioner's representation shall be considered and appropriate order shall be passed by the University authorities. 4. Considering the said submissions, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's claim for grant of UGC pay scale and pass appropriate order in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the petitioner is found entitled to get the benefit (s) claimed by him, the same must be given to him after revising his pay scale, within a period of four weeks thereafter. 5. Since the State Government has already agreed principally, I see, no impediment in granting appropriate fund, if the same required for payment of arrears to the petitioner. If the respondents take any decision otherwise, the same shall be communicated to the petitioner in writing within the said period.
