Imphal, October 05:
The Gauhati High Court, while modifying an earlier Single Bench ruling, has fixed the basic minimum pay scale for two respondents (ex-college Principals) at Rs 12,840.This was ordered by a Divisional Bench of the High Court on September 20 this year following a writ appeal filed by the State Government.
The writ appeal challenged an earlier Single Bench ruling of the Court made on March 20, 2002.It held that the respondents would be entitled to pay and allowances attached to the post of principal of Government Colleges for a period they rendered their services as principals.
Accordingly the Single Bench Court asked the State to comply with the order within three months.
The two respondents, in the writ appeal-Ksh Manihar and B Apabi Sharma-were rendering their services as principal in-charge of Government College while they were working as lecturers.
