observations made in W.A.No.2476/2015 and connected
matters.
6. At the time of consideration of the matter,
reliance is placed on the order passed in
W.A.No.2476/2015 and connected matters dated
24.07.2026.
7. A perusal of the said order would reveal that
writ petitions assailing the constitutional validity of the Act

connected matters came to be allowed. The same was
challenged in W.A.No.2476/2015 and connected matters.
8. Learned Government Advocate appearing for
the respondents submits that while the order in writ
petition was affirmed, however the nature of relief that
flows to the petitioners is on the basis of the observations
made in para 61 of the order in appeal. Taking note of the
same and on perusal of para 61, the present petition could
be disposed of.

9. Para 61 of the judgment reads as follows:
"61. It is also necessary to clarify the extent
of the relief that would flow from the present
judgment. The issue involved in the present batch
of matters is confined to whether the service
rendered by employees during the non-grant
period is liable to be reckoned for the purpose of
fixation of pay and other consequential service
benefits. Neither the provisions governing grant-
in-aid nor the statutory framework casts any
liability upon the State to pay salary for the
period prior to admission of the post to grant-in-
aid. As produced supra, Annexure-I of Rules,
1999 would make it abundantly clear that the
management shall be liable for payment of salary
and other benefits till the date such posts are
admitted into grant-in-aid. The liability to pay
salary during the non-grant period continues to
rest upon the management of the concerned
institution. Consequently, the service rendered
during the said period shall be taken into account
only for the purpose of notional fixation of pay as
on the date of admission of the post to grant-in-
aid and for extending consequential benefits such
as pension and other service benefits. The
employees shall not be entitled to claim arrears of

salary or any other monetary benefits from the
State for the period preceding the admission of
the post to grant-in-aid."
Taking note of the above, entitlement of the
petitioners would be as observed by the Court in the
observations contained in para 61.
10. Accordingly, the petition is allowed.
Respondents No.1, 2 and 4 to take note of the
observations made above and reckon service of the
petitioners from the date of appointment i.e., appointment
pre grant-in-aid for the purpose of notional fixation of pay
in order to calculate benefits such as pension and other
service benefits. Such consideration to be completed
within a period of six (6) months.
11. Accordingly, the petition is disposed of .
