Declaration of Principals and lecturers in Sanskrit Colleges as a distinct class 3 Abatement of Claims THE ANDHRA PRADESH EDUCATIONAL SERVICE (REGULATION OF PAY FIXATION OF PRINCIPALS AND LECTURERS) ACT, 1990 (ACT No 10 of 1990) [14th May, 1990] AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE REGULATION OF PAY FIXATION OF LECTURERS IN THE ANDHRA PRADESH EDUCATIONAL SERVICE IN ORDER TO AVOID UNTENABLE CLAIMS. Whereas, the post of Principal in M.R. Government Sanskrit College, Vizianagaram has been included in Category-I of Class-I of the Andhra Pradesh Educational Subordinate Service along with the Assistant Lecturers of Arts, Engineering and Medical Colleges; And whereas, Sri P.B.S. Appalacharyulu who held the post of Principal in M.R. Government Sanskrit college, Vizianagaram and who was subsequently transferred as Assistant Lecturer in Sanskrit Government Arts College, Rajahmundry was allowed the University Grants Commission scale of pay of Rs.700-1100 with effect from the said post on that date and in accordance with the orders of the Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh in W.P.No. 4357 of 1971; And whereas, the other Assistant Lecturers in Sanskrit who are seniors to Sri Appalacharyulu were also allowed the scale of pay of Rs.700-1100 on grounds of equity and on the ground that they too are eligible to be appointed as Principal, M.R. Government College, Vizianagaram; And whereas, the lecturers teaching subjects other than Sanskrit also filed Representation petitions before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal claiming parity in scale of pay with Sri Appalacharyulu, though they are not lecturers in Sanskrit and consequently ineligible to be appointed as Principal, M.R. Government Sanskrit College, Vizianagaram to which post Sri Appalacharyulu was originally appointed and consequently got the scale of pay of Rs. 700-1100; And whereas the contention of the Government that the Lecturers in subjects other than Sanskrit are not entitled to the scale of pay of Rs.700-1100 on par with Sri Appalacharyulu was rejected by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal on the ground that all Lecturers belong to the same category in the Andhra Pradesh Educational Service Rules; And whereas, the Lecturers in subjects other than Sanskrit are not eligible to be appointed as Principal of M.R. Government Sanskrit College, Vizianagaram to which Sri Appalacharyulu was appointed and allowed the scale of pay of Rs.700-1100 and the mere fact that all lecturers are in the same category in the Andhra Pradesh Educational Service Rules has given rise to the untenable claim of lecturers in other subjects for parity with the scale of pay allowed to Sri Appalacharyulu; And whereas, acceding to such untenable claims by lecturers other than those teaching Sanskrit would result in an enormous drain on the State Finance to the tune of more than thirteen crores of rupees, thus seriously affecting the developmental programmes of the State; And whereas the Government have constituted the Principal of Government Oriental Colleges including M.R. Government Sanskrit College, Vizianagaram and lecturers in Sanskrit in Government Degree Colleges and Oriental Colleges as a distinct class by an amendment to the Special rules in the Andhra Pradesh Educational Service by an amendment issued in G.O.Ms.No.340, Education (HE. 1) Department dated the 27th October, 1989 with retrospective effect from the 1st April, 1966; And whereas, in view of the aforesaid amendment, the lecturers in Degree Colleges teaching subjects other than Sanskrit cannot have common seniority with lecturers teaching Sanskrit language and cannot consequently claim parity of scale of pay with Sri Appalacharyulu on the ground that they are seniors to him; And whereas, several lecturers teaching subjects other than Sanskrit have approached the Hon'ble Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal and are pressing their claims; Be it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Andhra Pradesh in the Forty first year of the Republic of India as follows:-
