It is contended by learned counsel for petitioner that petitioner was appointed as Principal of the Institution known as Arya Kanya Inter College Mawana, Meerut on 01.04.2019 and she attained the age of superannuation on 31.03.2024. Though the salary of Officiating Principal was paid to petitioner but her pension has not been re-fixed and gratuity has not been paid in the pay scale admissible to the Officiating Principal. Ventilating his grievance, a representation has been made by petitioner before District Inspector of Schools on 10.08.2024 which is appended as annexure6 to writ petition.
