wp7236.18 1 10 30.4.2019, the Full Bench has answered the reference and in paragraph No.37 while answering question No.2, it has been held that as under:

37. Under these circumstances, we answer the Reference as under :-
Question No.2 :
The employees who were appointed prior to 1.11.2005 in aided recognized primary, secondary schools as well as colleges of education which were receiving less than 100% grant-in-aid as on 1.11.2005 would be governed by the DCP scheme."
3. The learned counsel for respective petitioners fairly submit that in all these cases the Management started receiving 100% grant-in-

aid after 1.11.2005. In view of this position, it is clear that the petitioners would be governed by defined Contributory Pension Scheme which has come into force from 1.11.2005.

4. While disposing of these writ petitions in aforesaid terms, it is also observed that this adjudication would be subject to the challenge that is pending before the Honourable Supreme Court against the judgment of the Full Bench. No costs.
