Admittedly, the petitioner has received certain amount towards his entitlement as per the recommendations of 6th Pay Commission. The amount received by the petitioner is as per the calculations made by respondent No.3-College which the petitioner is disputing. 3.

It is difficult for us to adjudicate this issue in writ jurisdiction. 5. Therefore, considering the age of the petitioner and the period 2026:BHC-NAG:3015-DB 2 913-WP-1445-15.odt for which the petition is pending, we are of the opinion that it will in the interest of justice to direct the respondent No.2-Joint Director of Higher Education to make the calculations as per the recommendations of 6th Pay Commission and the Rules/Guidelines in relation to the same. 6. The respondent No.2-Joint Director shall take into consideration the grounds raised in the petition as well as the reply to the same by the respondent No.3-College whereby the respondent No.3 has tried to justify its calculations. 7.
