Mr. Anil Kumar Joshi, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Chaudhary, Standing Counsel, for the State. (2) Petitioner was appointed as Assistant Teacher, LT Grade (Maths) in an unaided institution, namely, S.R.D. Bahuguna Inter College, Sevelakala, Dehradun on 3.7.2012. Token grant was given to the said institution on 28.2.2014 and ultimately salary grant was given to the institution on 28.2.2019. According to petitioner, he is entitled to benefit of service rendered by him before inclusion of the institution in grant-in-aid list, however the said benefit is not given to him, due to which he is denied time-scale/ selection grade pay. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has sought the following relief: “i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding and directing the respondents to count the services rendered by the petitioner before taking the institution under grant-in-aid for the purpose of time scale/ selection grade on completion of 10 years of service i.e. 3.7.2022 and allow the selection grade w.e.f. 3.7.2022 and also direct the respondents to pay arrears of the selection grade with 18% per annum interest.” (3) Learned Counsel for the petitioner relies upon a judgment rendered by coordinate Bench of this Court in Writ Petition (S/ S) No. 1955 of 2015. Learned State Counsel, however, submits that the facts of the said case were different, therefore petitioner is not entitled to benefit of said judgment. Learned State Counsel, however, fairly submits that since petitioner has sought a writ of mandamus, therefore, he may be permitted to 2026:UHC:1569 make representation to the competent authority, who shall take decision thereupon as per law. (4) Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of granting liberty to petitioner to make representation to the competent authority. If he makes such representation within two weeks from today, decision thereupon shall be taken, as per law, within three months thereafter.
