6.9. The Principal of BPK had written letter to Pondicherry University seeking its opinion for regularisation of pay Scales of teaching staff of BPK. By its letter dated 20.12.1995, enclosing excerpts of its Academic Ordinances, University requested BPK to decide individual cases of its Instructors for redesignating them with UGC Scales of Pay, taking into account their qualification in consultation with the Governing Body. The above narration of facts would show that Respondents, who are Head of Departments and Lecturers Grade II, were engaged in teaching in BPK from 1998 onwards. The Respondents with their teaching and practical experience were mainly responsible for the academic excellence which the Institution has achieved.
16. The contention of the learned Government Pleader cannot be countenanced. Having been affiliated to Pondicherry University, BPK cannot contend that it is governed by a Governing Body and is not governed by University Regulations. As noted earlier, in December 1995, BPK itself had written to Pondicherry University, seeking clarification regarding regularisation of pay Scales of the teaching staff of BPK. Enclosing excerpts of University's Academic Ordinances, Pondicherry University has requested BPK to decide individual cases of Instructors for redesignating them with University Grants Commission's Scales of pay, taking into account the qualifications of the individuals, in consultation with the Administration. Having so sought for clarification to Pondicherry University, soliciting its views on regularisation of Pay Scales of the teaching staff, the Second Respondent - BPK is not right in contending that it is not governed by UGC regulations.
