JUDGMENT :

SATYEN VAIDYA, J.

1. By way of instant petition, petitioners have prayed for following substantive reliefs:

“That the Annexure A-5, 7, 8, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 33 and 36 whereby the University Administration has granted UGC pay scale and status at par with regularly appointed teachers may kindly be quashed and also the allotment of house made to respondents No. 5 to 15 which are reserved for teachers may kindly be ordered to be withdrawn.”

2. The petition was initially instituted as Original Application under Section 19 of Administrative Tribunals Act 1985 before Himachal Pradesh State Administrative Tribunal (for short, “the Tribunal”) and was registered as O.A. No. 5443 of 2018. On abolition of the Tribunal, it came to be transferred to this Court and has been registered as CWPOA No. 5208 of 2020. The averments made in the “Original Application” remained without any amendment before this Court also. Similar situation remained in respect of reliefs prayed therein.

3. Admittedly, petitioners have not sought any relief for themselves. Their grievance remained confined to conferment of status of teachers and grant of UGC pay scales to respondents No. 5 to 15. The petition
