Mr. Pankaj Miglani and Mr. Vinay Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners.

Mr. Vikas Pande, learned counsel for the UGC.

Mr. Ajay Veer Pundir, learned counsel for respondent no.2.

Mr. Pankaj Miglani, the learned counsel for the

petitioner informs this Court that despite the judgment

of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in "State of Punjab &

others vs. Jagjit Singh & others, [(2017) 1 SCC

148]", clearly opining that a person who is appointed

on ad hoc/temporary basis is entitled to receive the

minimum of the pay-scale of the regular employee, the

petitioners, who are contractual employees are not

being paid the minimum of the pay-scale of the

regular employee.

Mr. Ajay Veer Pundir, the learned counsel for

respondent No.2 informs this Court that, respondent

No.2, the University, is yet to send the proposal to the

UGC for disbursing sufficient amount so that the

minimum of the pay-scale of the regular employee can

be paid to the petitioners. He seeks one week's time to send the said proposal to the UGC.

Respondent No.1, the UGC, is directed to decide

the said proposal within a period of one month from

the date of receipt of the proposal.

The learned counsel for the UGC is directed to

inform this Court about the decision taken by the UGC

upon the said proposal.

List these cases on 23.08.2021.
