Counsel for the LBS Centre for Science and Technology and Smt.K.G.Sarojini – learned Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents.

¶126

I do not propose to indite a very long judgment, because the facts involved are not really in dispute.

¶127

Suffice to say, the petitioners in these cases were appointed either as Lecturers or Assistant Professors, in the services of the “LBS Centre for Science and Technology”, Thiruvananthapuram, (hereinafter referred to as the 'LBS Centre', for short) in different Colleges under it. They submit that those who were appointed as Lecturers were redesignated as Assistant Professors and continued in such position, until they were promoted as Associate Professors. They say that a Wage Revision was implemented in the services of the 'LBS Centre' with notional effect from 01.01.2006; but they were granted arrears under it only with effect from 01.04.2011. They explain that this was done as per the applicable Regulations of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE); but that, in spite of this, an Audit Objection appears to have been raised to the effect that they were all granted pay scales in the post of Assistant Professors, which were not eligible to them.

¶129

: 13 :

¶130

Sri.N.Nandakumara Menon – learned Senior Counsel and the various other counsel appearing for the parties, pointed out that, going by the impugned order of the 'LBS Centre', namely Ext.P5, instead of answering the incorrect Audit Objections, they have chosen to implement it, holding that their clients were not eligible to be granted the Pay Scale of Rs.37,400-67,000 with Rs.9000 AGP, when they were redesignated as Assistant Professors.

¶131

The learned Senior Counsel and the counsel argued that, even going by the AICTE Regulations, a higher scale of pay was eligible to the petitioners after three years of their service; and that since all of them were redesignated as Assistant Professors and promoted as Associate Professors later, fixation of their pay could never have been called into question. They explain that, however, on account of the confusion created by the implementation of the revised pay scale with effect from 01.01.2006, the Audit Department appears to have misdirected themselves to believe that petitioners were given a higher scale of pay even before they had completed three years in the post of Assistant Professors.

¶132

The learned Senior Counsel and the learned counsel for

¶133

WP(C)No.21596 of 2018 & Con.Cases

¶134

: 14 :

¶135

the petitioners further pointed out to Ext.P8 order of the Government, dated 03.03.2012, to the effect that the Clauses which, inter alia , mandate that an Assistant Professor must complete three years of service, for being entitled to higher scale of pay, are applicable only for career advancement and not for promotion to sanctioned posts; and that since the petitioners were all appointed to such posts, the aforesaid Audit objections are inapplicable, as far as they are concerned.

¶136

Sri.N.Nandakumara Menon – learned Senior Counsel, thereafter showed me that, in Ext.P9 order of the Government issued on 14.01.2019 – which is addressed to the “LBS Centre”, approval has been granted for payment of arrears based on the Pay Revision with effect from 01.04.2011; with a concomitant direction to them to inform the Audit Department and to clear the objections. The learned Senior Counsel reiterated that, instead of doing so, the “LBS Centre” has now issued the impugned order, seeking recovery of large amounts of money from his client, as also the petitioners in these cases; and that, pursuant thereto, amounts have already been recovered from some of them.

¶137

The learned Senior Counsel and the learned counsel for

¶138

WP(C)No.21596 of 2018 & Con.Cases

¶139

: 15 :

¶140

the petitioners, thus vehemently pray that impugned orders be set aside and the “LBS Centre” be directed to act as per the directives given to them by the Government in Ext.P9 order, dated 14.01.2019.

¶141

Smt.Shameena Salahudeen – learned Standing Counsel for the “LBS Centre”, however, refuted the afore allegations, saying that her client was obligated to act as per the Audit objections; and therefore, that the impugned orders are without error. She pointed out that, according to the applicable Regulations of the AICTE, an Assistant Professor who has not completed three years of service as on 01.01.2006, was entitled only to the pay scale of Rs.15,600 – 39,100/- with AGP of Rs.8,000/-; and would be eligible to the higher scale of Rs.37,400 – 67,000/- with Rs.9,000/- AGP only thereafter. She explained that, however, in this case, the pay revision was implemented with effect from 01.01.2006 and all the Lecturers were redesignated as Assistant Professors from that date, which led to the controversy projected in this case, because, they were all then granted higher scale of pay, without verifying whether they had completed three years of service in the said post. She submitted that, therefore, the “LBS Centre” had no other option,

¶142

WP(C)No.21596 of 2018 & Con.Cases

¶143

: 16 :

¶144

but to issue the impugned orders and thus prayed that this writ petition be dismissed.

¶145

After saying as afore, Smt.Shameena Salahudeen, further explained that her client has not received either Ext.P8 or Ext.P9 orders of the Government until now and therefore, that they are not sure as to how it applies. But, to a pointed question from this Court she argued that, if Ext.P8 applies to the “LBS Centre”, certain Clauses of the Pay Revision order are seen to be applicable only for Career Advancement and not for promotion to sanctioned posts, which she concedes the petitioners were afforded. She, however, added that Ext.P8 is no longer relevant because same has been modified through a subsequent order of the Government dated 28.05.2012 – which has been produced along with the counter affidavit filed in W.P. (C).No.1970 of 2019 and marked as Annexure R1(b); but, conceded that the provisions of Clause (b) in Ext.P8 have been carried forward to this order also – it being incorporated as Clause (b) therein.

¶146

The learned Government Pleader – Smt.K.G.Sarojini, submitted that Government has no role to play in this case, after Exts.P8, P9 and Annexure R1(b) clarifications had been issued.

¶147

¶148

: 17 :

¶149

She added that therefore, she leaves it to this Court to take an apposite decision.

¶150

As I have said in the prefatory paragraphs of this judgment, the facts involved are not in dispute and the controversy is also in a very small compass.

¶151

The petitioners were all recruited as Lecturers, and were redesignated as Assistant Professors with effect from 01.01.2006, consequent to the order of Revision of Pay Scales. This is the genesis of the controversy, because the Audit Department raised an objection to the effect that the applicable Regulations of the AICTE would not permit an incumbent Assistant Professor to a higher scale of pay, unless he/she had put in three years of service as on 01.01.2006. However, in this case, since the pay revision was implemented with effect from 01.01.2006, all the petitioners were given the higher scale of pay of Rs.37,400 - 67,000/- with Rs.9000/- AGP with effect from that date; without verifying if they had completed three years of service as Assistant Professors; but which they assert, was only on a notional basis, thus making them eligible to arrears only with effect from 01.04.2011 – as is evident from Ext.P8 in W.P. (C).No.21596 of 2018. The Audit Department, however, has

¶152

¶153

: 18 :

¶154

taken a technical objection that petitioners could not have been admitted, either notionally or factually, to the higher scale of pay, unless they had completed three years of service in the post of Assistant Professor and the “LBS Centre” appears to have acceded to this, by issuing the impugned orders.

¶155

However, there is an intervening event, namely, that the Government transpires to have issued Ext.P8 order as early as on 03.03.2012 – the clauses of which in favour of the petitioners herein having been carried forward in the subsequent Annexure R1(b) – clarifying that certain clauses of the order of Pay Revision could be applicable only for promotions through Career Advancement stream, and not to regular promotions to sanctioned posts. It is without contest that petitioners were all promoted to sanctioned posts.

¶156

That being said, further clarification of the Government namely, Ext.P9 dated 14.01.2019, makes the position far more luculent that petitioners were given arrears with effect from 01.04.2011, and that this has been found to be correct by the said Authority. In fact, thereafter, the Government directed the “LBS Centre” to take up the issue with the Audit Department and clear their objections.

¶157

¶158

: 19 :

¶159

The “LBS Centre”, does not appear to have acted as per Ext.P9, and this is presumably because the learned counsel Smt.Shameena Salahudeen says that they never received it. Perhaps, if it were otherwise, the matter would not have reached this stage because, the “LBS Centre” could have easily taken up the matter with the Audit Department and sought that their objections be cleared, taking note of Ext.P8 also.

¶160

I am therefore, firm in my mind that no action based on the impugned orders of the “LBS Centre” can be now allowed to be taken forward, until they comply with Ext.P9 directives of the Government taking note of the clarifications in Ext.P8 and Annexure R1(b).

¶161

Resultantly, these writ petitions are allowed, with the following directions:

¶162

(a) The orders of the “LBS Centre” impugned in all these writ petitions are quashed.

¶163

(b) The “LBS Centre” is granted liberty to act in terms

¶164

of Ext.P9 order of the Government dated 14.01.2019 – produced along with W.P.(C).No.1970 of 2019; and to take up the matter with the Audit Department, so as to clarify and regularise the

¶165

¶166

: 20 :

¶167

audit objections in terms of Ext.P8 and Annexure R1(b) orders.

¶168

¶169

sustained by the competent Authority, I leave full liberty to the petitioners to challenge the same appropriately; for which purpose, all their contentions are left open.

¶170

(d) If, on the contrary, the Audit objections are to be dropped, then the “LBS Centre” will issue appropriate consequential orders, releasing the amounts recovered from the petitioners – within a period of three months from the date of such proceedings.
