By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad,March 14: The AP Adminstrative Tribunal has held that part-time lecturers who are drawing minimum pay scale of 1993, are entitled for minimum pay scale plus dearness allowance under the revised pay scales of 1999.
Dealing with a batch of applications filed by part-time lecturer, Mr Y.V. Ramakrishna, the vice-chairman of the tribunal held that the petitioners are entitled for payment of salaries for Sunday and public holidays, but not during summer holidays.
He said that the petitioners were not entitled for salary during summer vacation and recovery of salary from them for the same was valid.
Mr K.L. Narasimham, counsel for the petitioners argued that non-payment of revised payscales and deduction of payment from the pay of the petitioners for Sundays and other pubic holidays are illegal and contrary to the law.
