JUDGMENT (Per S. V. Gangapurwala, J):     

1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. With consent

of parties, the petitions are taken up for final disposal.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties.

3. All these writ petitions assail the Government

Resolution dated 02.12.2014 issued by the School Education

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt Department, Government of Maharashtra, Mantralaya, Mumbai

to the extent of condition to grant permission to the

additional divisions of the schools from the years 2014-

2015 on non grant basis. The petitioners further seek

relief that the same is required to be granted from the

year 2010-11 as was granted by the Education Officer

Latur, pursuant to his order in July, 2011 and that too on

grant-in-aid basis.

4. All these petitions are based on similar set of

facts and involve common questions. To avoid rigmarole,

they are decided together.

5. The learned counsel for respective petitioners so

also the learned Addl. Government Pleader and the learned

counsel for the Education Officer have advanced their

arguments.

6. Mr. Khandare, the learned counsel for some of the

petitioners submits that the divisions which were already

sanctioned to various schools were declared surplus for

want of sufficient students. They were closed. Such

divisions were sanctioned and absorbed with the schools

where the strength of students existed and the additional

divisions were admissible by virtue of the order passed by

the Education Officer in July, 2011. The learned counsel

submits that the Education Officer was competent to

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt sanction, allot divisions at his level. Moreover, the

enquiry was conducted, enquiry reports were received by the

Government. The Ghodmode Committee was appointed for

holding enquiry. The said Committee submitted report to the

Government. Due to the objections regarding conduct of the

enquiry and to the report, the Government was required to

give second thought to the problem. The said report was not

accepted. A decision to hold enquiry afresh was taken.

Physical inspection of the school was made in order to

find out the actual physical strength of the students. On

receipt of the report of the inspection, the Government

Resolution dated 02.12.2014 was issued. Out of 58 schools

to which divisions were allotted, 37 schools having 147

divisions are found to be legal. Out of 20 schools, reports

regarding 14 schools have been received, however no

decision for legalization of divisions in these 14 school

is taken. The learned counsel submits that the said

Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 states that

appointment of the teachers would be considered on no

grant basis from the year 2013-2014 as per existing grant-

in-aid norms. The petitioners are objecting to the said

conditions.

7. According to the learned counsel, the Maharashtra

Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service)

Regulation Act, 1977 regulates the service conditions of

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt the employees. Rules have been framed, regulating the

procedure. Field of grant of permission to open schools,

sanction of additional divisions in existing schools,

sanction of new divisions, required students for

maintaining such divisions etc. is governed by the

Executive instructions and not the Act passed by the

Legislature. Time to time, the Government resolutions and

circulars are issued. The staffing pattern is sanctioned

considering the number of divisions in the schools. The

sanction of divisions is linked with the number of

students studying in the class. The policy is ever

changing.

The learned counsel submits that the parliament, by

virtue of 86th Amendment Act, 2002, inserted Article 21-A

thereby making right to education a fundamental right for

the students within the age group of 6 to 14 years. They

have fundamental right to free education. The same would

include payment of salary to the teacher so that students

within the said age group would not require to pay for the

same. The learned counsel submits that in order to

implement the Constitutional Policy enshrined under Article

21-A of the Constitution of India, the parliament enacted

"The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education

Act, 2009 (hereinafter referred to as the Right to

Education Act). The same was enforced from the year 2010.

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt The learned counsel submits that the edifice of the Right

to Education Act is based upon free and compulsory

education up to the age of 14 years and quality education.

8. The learned counsel submits that because of

introduction of the Right to Education Act, the statutory

obligation is cast upon the Government to shoulder the

responsibility of providing funds for carrying out the

provisions of the Act. Reference can be had to Section 7 of

the said Act. Section 8 of the Act mandates appropriate

Government to provide free and compulsory elementary

education for every child. Section 25 of the Right to

Education Act makes provisions of pupil and teacher ratio

as specified in schedule to the Act and further makes it

compulsory to maintain the said ratio. Thus, the change is

brought in by the Right to Education Act providing the

pupil- teacher ratio linked directly to the strength of

students in the particular school and as such now the same

would not be regulated by the executive instructions but

by the provisions of the statutes enacted by the

Parliament. The learned counsel further submits that the

instructions issued from to time under Government

Resolutions or circulars, earlier were superseded by one

such Government Resolution dated 13.12.2013. The said

Government Resolution clearly states that the norms for

grant of divisions issued and which were in existence have

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt been superseded after the enforcement of the Right to

Education Act. The learned counsel submits that time and

again, the Government Resolutions and circulars are issued

with a view to enforce the provisions of the Right to

Education Act, thereby prescribing procedure for

determining the posts of teacher with reference to the

strength of students in a particular school.

9. The learned counsel states that two circulars dated

10.05.2010, 18.06.2010 and Government Resolution dated

14.11.2013 are placed on record. The learned counsel also

relies on the Government Resolution dated 28.08.2015 to

contend that the said Government Resolution is issued

after the impugned Government Resolution which clearly

mentions the fact that division system has been abolished

and therefore strength of students available in the class

is required to be considered for grant of post of teacher.

According to the leaned counsel, the Government Resolution

dated 02.12.2014 is contrary to the Government Resolution

dated 02.12.2015 and Government Resolution dated

14.11.2013 so also de hors the provisions of the Right to

Education Act. The same is not in consonance with the

object and spirit of the Right to Education Act. The

Government cannot exercise any powers contrary to the

provisions of the Right to Education Act. The action taken

by the authorities by virtue of Government Resolution

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt dated 02.12.2014 and letter dated 04.08.2014 and other

instructions are contrary to the Constitutional Scheme

envisaged under Article 21-A and the provisions of the

Right to Education Act. In the impugned Government

Resolution, the appointment of teachers are not considered

on the basis of strength of students as contemplated under

the Right to Education Act but on the basis of divisions

sanctioned in a particular school. The Government

Resolution dated 02.12.2014 though speaks of the provisions

of the Right to Education Act, however, the same is

contrary to the provisions of the said Act and is based on

the earlier Government Resolutions and it only takes into

consideration the order passed by the Education Officer

without considering the pupil- teacher ratio. The

appointment of the teachers commensurate with the strength

of the students is required to be considered on grant-in-

aid basis.

10. Mr. Khandare, the learned counsel further submits

that the Right to Education Act is a Central Enactment and

the same will prevail over all other statute and, the

provisions of the Right to Education Act will have to be

applied with all its vigors. The learned counsel relies

judgment of the Apex court in a case of Kalyani Mathivanan

Vs. K. V. Jeyaraj and others, reported in (2015) 6 Supreme

Court cases 363.

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt

11. The learned counsel further submits that the the

essential object and purpose of the Right to Education Act

is to provide access to justice to primary school

teachers. The Constitutional Guarantee of free and

compulsory primary education is given practical content by

the Act. The learned counsel relies on the judgment of

Division Bench of this Court in case of Litaka Rajaram Mane

Vs. State of Maharashtra, reported in 2013 (4) Mh.L.J.

244.

12. Mr.Panpatte, the learned counsel for some of the

petitioners canvassed the following submissions:

The Education Officer had sanctioned the divisions

of the schools, the said divisions were earlier attached

with the schools which were closed down and the Education

Officer has the necessary power to sanction the grant-in-

aid divisions of the closed schools to the existing

schools where these additional divisions are admissible. To

substantiate the contention, the learned counsel relies on

the Government Resolution dated 06.12.2007 and 12.06.2007

and communication dated 20.11.2008. The learned counsel

submits that while issuing the Government Resolution dated

02.12.2014, the State has lost sight of these Government

Resolutions. When the Education Officer has been empowered

to sanction such divisions and when even upon enquiry, it

is found that the divisions/additional divisions which are

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt sanctioned to the schools are permissible as per the

strength of the students, then there was no necessity to

further issue Government Resolution and thereby stating

that the same is granted on no grant basis from the

academic year 2013-2014.

13. The learned counsel further submits that even an

enquiry committee was appointed by the Government to

submit the detail report with regard to the divisions,

additional divisions sanctioned by the Education Officer;

report was submitted and it was found that additional

divisions are admissible. The learned counsel submits that

even while passing the impugned orders and the Government

Resolution, opportunity of hearing was not given to the

petitioners which is contrary to the Government Resolution

dated 06.02.2012. According to the learned counsel even

exercise was done of an enquiry and it was found that out

of 58 schools to which the additional divisions were

sanctioned, in 38 schools, 147 divisions were sanctioned

and they were found to be having adequate strength of

students for the sanction of additional divisions. The

names of the petitioners, Institutions and the teachers

appointed therein appears in the accompaniment of the

Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014.

14. The learned counsel further submits that many of the

petitioners have been granted approval and acquired right

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt in their favour but the same was not looked into while

issuing the impugned Government Resolution and stating that

the said posts held by the teachers would be considered on

no grant basis. The Right to Education Act no where

contemplates to give grant in aid in a phased manner. This

aspect is also not considered by the authorities while

taking the decision. The appointment of these teachers

cannot be held to be illegal. They are in continuous

employment since 2010. Provisions for grant-in-aid is

available in the budgetary provisions of the State

Government. Even the salaries of some of the petitioners

were drawn from the grant admissible. The decision to

convert the posts held by teachers appointed on the said

posts to no grant basis is bad in law. The learned counsel

further submits that the respondents have failed to

demonstrate as to how and in what manner the decision of

the Education Officer to transfer the divisions of the

closed down schools or divisions which were held to be

inadmissible for continuation for want of students and

attaching the same with the Institutions where there is

adequate strength, requires either prior approval or

concurrence or permission from higher officials. The

Education Officer was within his right to sanction the said

additional divisions as per the Government Resolution dated

12.06.2007 and 06.12.2007. If impugned Government

Resolution is allowed to operate, then these persons who

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt have been appointed will have to wait for further 7 to 8

years to become eligible for grant insptie of the facts

that the posts held by them is having budgetary

provisions, however, the same was not utilized. To that

extent the Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 is bad in

law.

15. The learned counsel further submits that perusal of

the provisions of the Right to Education Act would reveal

that the staff sanction and determination is governed by

Rules framed under section 25 of the Right to Education

Act. Even Government Resolution dated 20.08.2015 lays down

that it is the Education Officer who is authorized in law

to determine the staff sanction and prior permission of the

State Government is no where contemplated. All the schools

in the State either run by State Government, local self

government or private schools, whether receiving grant in

aid or not are governed by the Right to Education Act. As

such, it does not lie in the mouth of the Government to

state that before the Education Officer takes decision to

attach the closed division to another school, consultation

with the State Government is necessary.

16. The learned counsel further submits that the

provisions of the Right to Education Act makes it

compulsory to make available the facility of education in

all areas within the vicinity of two kms. The impugned

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt Government Resolution does not take into account the said

provisions of the Right to Education Act. The posts held

by these persons appointed pursuant to the order of the

Education Officer sanctioned in these additional divisions

have been found to be admissible as per the fresh roll

verification done. In such a situation, decision to

convert the posts held by the petitioners from admissible

to grant into non grant in aid post is unsustainable and

does not stand to any reason.

17. Mr. Panpatte, the learned counsel relies on the

judgment of the Apex Court in a case of Mohinder Singh Gill

Vs. Chief Election Commissioner, New Delhi, reported in

1978 (1) SCC 405 to contend that what is not stated in the

impugned order cannot be supplemented by affidavit. The

learned counsel further relies on the judgment of the Apex

Court in a case of Pramati Educational & Cultural Trust &

others Vs.Union of India (Writ Petition (C) No.416/2012

with connected petitions, decided on 06.05.2014), so also

the judgment of the Apex Court in case of Ms Mohini Jain

Vs. State of Karnataka reported in AIR 1992 Supreme Court

1858(1) submits that Apex Court has also upheld the said

enactment i.e. Right to Education Act and further observed

that the said Act intends to achieve the constitutional

goal of equality of opportunity through inclusive

elementary education to all. The learned counsel submits

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt that it is the State who would be funding for free

education of the children belonging to weaker sections.

Under section 12(2) of the Right to Education Act, the

school is to be reimbursed for the expenses to the extent

of per child expenditure incurred by it. The provisions are

incorporated in furtherance of the object underlying

Article 21-A of the Constitution to provide free and

compulsory education.

18. Mr. Panpatte, the learned counsel also relies on the

judgment of Division bench of this Court in the case of Ku.

Sunanda dhondiram Wadje Vs. The State of Maharashtra and

others, delivered in Writ Petition No. 5186/2004 dated 27 th

June, 2005 to contend that even assuming that the

Education Officer has committed illegality while granting

approval, the same cannot be corrected at the cost of the

rights of the petitioners being abridged and violated

19. Mr.Chaukidar, the learned counsel holding for Mr.

Solunke, the learned counsel for some of the petitioners,

submits that the petitioners i.e. teachers are appointed by

following due procedure of law and their services are

continued. The learned counsel submits that all divisions

which are allotted were closed down long back and the

teachers working in closed down divisions were already

accommodated in other schools and at that time there were

no surplus teachers. The petitioners were appointed on

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt these sanctioned divisions and as such are eligible for the

grant-in-aid, as these divisions which have been

transferred to existing schools were the closed down

divisions on grant in aid basis. The action of the

Government is against the provisions of the Right to

Education Act. The schools where the petitioners are

working are primary schools and the provisions of the

Right to Education Act are applicable. The petitioners have

completed their three years probation as Shikshan Sevak and

have attained deemed permanency. As per section 8 of the

Right to Education Act, the duties of the appropriate

Government are prescribed and one such duty is to provide

free elementary education to every child up to age of 6 to

14 years and ensure compulsory admission, attendance and

completion of elementary education by every child of the

age of 6 to 14 years. Even it is the bounden duty of the

Government to provide infrastructure including school

building teaching staff and learning equipment. Learned

counsel refers to Section 8 of the Right to Education Act.

In view of that, the learned counsel submits that it is

the responsibility of the State Government to pay salary to

the petitioners as soon as they are granted approval by the

competent authority. Services of the petitioners are

approved and as such, withdrawing the grant-in-aid of the

schools wherein the petitioners are working by issuing

Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 is illegal and

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt erroneous. According to the learned counsel the Government

is also convinced that considering the strength of the

students available in the schools wherein the petitioners

are working, the respondents State has maintained the

divisions and the petitioners are appointed by following

due process of law. As such, the divisions on which the

petitioners are working are entitled to receive grant-in-

aid. To the extent of withdrawal of grant-in-aid the

Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 is erroneous and

deserves to be set aside.

20. Mr. Gunale the learned counsel for some of the

petitioners adopts the arguments canvassed by the other

Advocates. The learned counsel relies on the judgment of

the Division Bench of this Court in a case of Ram Avad Vs.

Shivdatta Education Trust, reported in 2007 (6) All M.R.

716 to contend that on completion of probation of three

years, the petitioners would be treated as deemed permanent

teacher.

21. Mrs. Gondhalekar, the learned Addl. Government

Pleader submits that the Education Officer (Primary), while

passing the order in July, 2011, had committed manifest

illegalities and irregularities by directing absorption of

divisions, giving approval to divisions, staffing pattern

and also giving individual/ personal approval on one and

the same date. Learned Addl. G. P. submits that the

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 and more

particularly, Clause No.2 incorporated therein has not been

complied by any of the School Managements of the

petitioners for the year 2014-2015 2015-2016 even after

filing of the petitions. The said Clause No.2 specifically

lays down the condition to follow the procedure as laid

down in Government Resolution dated 06.02.2012, the same

has not yet been done. According to the learned Addl.G.P.

all the petitioners were not appointed by following due

procedure of law. No permission was obtained, no intimation

was sent to the Department for filling in the posts, the

filling of roster point vacancies were not observed and the

teachers who are appointed have not passed the examination.

Even they cannot be termed as regularly appointed teachers.

According to the learned Addl. G.P., the reliance placed on

the Government Resolutions dated 12.06.2007 and 6.12.2007

by the petitioners is misplaced. Absorption of divisions

from school receiving grant-in-aid to partial grant-in- aid

or non grant-in-aid has to be along with the absorption of

the teachers who were working in the said closed down

divisions. The Education Officer, while passing the order

allowing absorption of such divisions, did not consider

accommodating and absorbing the surplus teachers on those

closed down divisions. According to the learned Addl. G.P.,

fixing the post of teachers, corresponding to the number of

students, the same is to be followed by the Management

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt after introduction of the Right to Education Act. The same

is laid down in the Government Resolution dated 13.12.2013

and 18.06.2010.

22. The learned Additional G.P. submits that Government

Resolution dated 8.11.2000 specifically lays down stage

wise grant-in-aid disbursement after fulfilling

eligibility. All these facets were required to be

considered by the Education Officer while absorbing the

closed down divisions. The learned Addl. G.P. further

submits that in case the Education Officer was to exercise

his right as per the Government Resolution dated 12.06.2007

and 6.12.2007, then the closed down divisions are required

to be absorbed with other schools immediately. In the

present case the same has been done in some matters after

10 years and in some matters after five years, which is

not permissible. The learned Addl. G.P. further submits

that the petitioners cannot claim grant-in-aid as of right.

It depends upon the policy decision of the State and the

State has taken a policy decision about awarding the

grants. The Government Resolution dated 05.11.2011 lays

down parameters about evaluation of grants.

23. Learned Addl. G.P. relies on the judgment of Full

Bench of this Court in a case of St. Ulai High school Vs.

Devendraprasad Jagannath Singh, reported in 2007 (1) Bom.

C.R. 514 to submit that power of appointment is regulated

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt by the Act and the Rules and the matter concerning the

grant of approval is between Management and the Education

Officer and is relevant only for the release of grant by

the State Government to the Management. Appointment and

conditions of service of teachers is governed by the

provisions of the M.E.P.S. Acts and Rules. The same have to

be followed and the primary responsibility of payment of

salary is on the Management.

24. Mr. Bonder, the learned counsel for the Education

Officer (Primary) adopts argument of the learned Addl. G.

P. According to the learned counsel, all the

petitioners /teachers were appointed on non grant in aid

basis. The payment of their salary has to be borne by the

Management.

25. We have considered the submissions canvassed by the

learned counsel for the respective parties.

26. Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 is the

subject matter of the present writ petitions. The said

Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 is required to be

issued to clear up the mess created by the Education

Officer, Latur.

27. Various schools in Latur division which were on

grant-in-aid were closed down for more than 5 to 10 years.

In the year 2011-2012, the Education Officer (Primary),

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt Latur allotted those closed down divisions of the closed

down schools or of those schools, where those divisions

had became inadmissible, to the existing schools that too

with retrospective effect. If the order is passed by the

Education Officer (Primary) in February and August, 2011,

the same is allotted for the year 2010-11 and if the order

is passed in March, 2012, the divisions are directed to be

absorbed for the year 2011-12.

28. It is the contention of the petitioners that the

Education Officer (Primary) has the power to absorb said

divisions to the existing schools wherever permissible and

for the said purpose, they rely on the Government

Resolution dated 06.12.2007. If the said Government

Resolution dated 6.12.2007 is perused, then the said

Government Resolution lays down certain modalities to be

observed while absorbing the additional divisions. Clauses

2, 3 and 4 of the said Government Resolution, which is

vernacular language, reads as under:

ß¼2½ iVla[;svHkkoh can >kysyh rqdMh R;kp 'kkGse/;s eatqj dj.ks 'kD; ulY;kl R;kp laLFksP;k vU; 'kkGsr fo|kFkhZ iVla[;k ok<ysyh vlY;kl o foghr fud"k iq.kZ gksr vlY;kl can gks.kkjh rqdMh lek;kstukus eatqj dj.;kr ;koh vls lek;kstu vuqnkfur @va'kr% vuqnkfur o fouk vuqnkfur v'kk xVke/;sp dj.;kr ;kos-

29. Reading Clause 4, it is manifest that if the

division is to be absorbed, then the approved teacher has

to be absorbed along with the division. Without absorbing

the teacher, the division cannot be absorbed. While passing

the order of absorbing the additional divisions of the

closed down schools with the existing schools, the

Education Officer (Primary) did not pass any order with

regard to absorption of the teachers along with the said

divisions. Further, it is not the case that the said

schools had closed down in that year. The said schools were

closed down more than 5 to 10 years back and the closed

down divisions were abruptly allotted to the existing

schools. The said Government Resolution cannot be read

to mean that the Education Officer (Primary), even after a

long slumber of 10 years, would allot the closed down

divisions to the existing schools. The very purpose of

issuing the said Government Resolution dated 06.12.2007 is

that the closed down divisions should be allotted to the

existing schools wherever permissible with a view to absorb

the teachers in that closed down schools alongwith the

divisions. Clause 4 as reproduced above makes this

position amply clear.

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt

30. It appears that those schools to whom additional

divisions were abruptly allotted with retrospective

effect had appointed fresh teachers. The contention of the

petitioners is that at that time, surplus teachers were

not available. Be that as it may, at the first instance,

the Education Officer (Primary) itself ought not have

allotted the closed down divisions of the schools which

were closed down almost 10 years back without making any

enquiry of availability of surplus teachers. Order of

absorption of additional division should accompany the

order of absorption of the teachers of that division and

this is the purport of Clause 4 of the said Government

Resolution dated 06.12.2007. Even Government Resolution

dated 10th June, 2007 lays down the same. The said

Government Resolution applies at a time when because of

lack of students, the devision is on the verge of being

closed and at that time, the Education Officer has to take

steps and not after 5 to 10 years. It would be seen

that even approvals were granted by Education Officer to

the appointments made on the said additional divisions

directed to be absorbed in the existing school with

retrospective effect, immediately. At the first instance,

absorption of additional divisions of the closed down

schools to the existing schools with retrospective effect

itself was illegal. No such order to operate with

retrospective effect could have been passed.

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt

31. The Government, with a view to clear the mess,

appointed the Ghodmode Committee for holding enquiry.

Report was submitted by the Godmode Committee to the

Government. Objections were received regarding conduct of

enquiry and to the report. The said report was not

accepted and fresh enquiry is conducted. Physical

inspection of the school was made in order to find out the

actual physical strength of the students. After receipt of

report of the inspection, Government Resolution dated

02.12.2014 came to be issued. In fact, as a one time

measure, the said Government resolution is issued. The

Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 has safeguarded the

appointments made of the teachers (of course if made

legally by following proper procedure) on these additional

divisions directed to be absorbed with the existing

schools.

32. Upon enquiry, it is found that out of 58 schools,

147 divisions of 37 schools are eligible for absorption and

out of remaining 20 schools, decision is yet to be taken in

respect of divisions of 14 schools. As the Education

Officer has committed irregularity and illegality while

absorbing these additional divisions, as a one time

measure, Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 is issued

and these additional divisions have been granted approval

from the year 2013-14, thereby protecting appointment of

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt the teachers made on these additional 147 divisions,

provided appointment is as per rule i.e. satisfying the

roster as approved by the B.C. Cell and proper procedure at

the time of appointment being followed and their

evaluation would be made to bring them on grant in aid

basis subsequently.

33. The petitioners have placed much reliance on the

provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory

Education Act, 2009 (Right to Education Act) and the

Government Resolution dated 28.08.2015. It is true that by

virtue of 86th Amendment to the Constitution, Article 21-A

is introduced. It provides for free and compulsory

education to all children in the age group of six to

fourteen years as a fundamental right. Consequently, the

Right to Education Act is introduced. It casts an

obligation on the appropriate Government to provide free

and compulsory elementary education to all children

between the age group of six to fourteen years. Section 25

of the Right to Education Act reads as under:

"25. Pupil-Teacher Ratio- (1) Within three years from the date of commencement of this Act, the appropriate Government and the local authority shall ensure that the Pupil-Teacher Ratio, as specified in the Schedule, is maintained in each school.

(2) For the purpose of maintaining the Pupil-

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt Teacher Ratio, under sub-section (1), no teacher posted in a school shall be made to serve in any other school or office or deployed for any non- educational purpose, other than those specified in section 27."

It would be seen that Pupil-Teacher ratio as

specified in the schedule is required to be maintained in

each school. As such, now the number of teachers would not

be dependent upon the number of divisions but the number of

teachers would be dependent upon the strength of student.

34. Under the Right to Education Act, "school" is

defined under section 2(n), the same reads as under

"2(n)"School" means any recognised school imparting elementary education and includes

(i)a school established, owned or controlled by the appropriate Government or a local authority;

(ii) an aided school receiving aid or grants to meet whole or part of its expenses from the appropriate Government or the local authority;

(iii) a school belonging to specified category; and

(iv) an unaided school not receiving any kind of aid or grants to meet its expenses from the appropriate Government or the local authority;"

The school is categorized into schools owned or

controlled by the appropriate Government or local

authority; an aided school receiving aid or grants to meet

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt the whole or part of its expenses from the appropriate

Government or the local authority; the school belonging to

specified category and an unaided school not receiving any

kind of aid or grants to meet its expenses. Sections 11

and 12 of the said Act lays down a mandate upon all the

schools run by the Government or its local authority to

provide free and compulsory education to all children

admitted therein. It further lays down that those schools

specified in sub clause (ii) of clause (n) of section 2

shall provide free and compulsory elementary education to

such proportion of children admitted therein as its annual

recurring aid or grants so received, bears to its annual

recurring expenses, subject to a minimum of 25 %. Those

schools specified in clauses (iii) and (iv) of clause (n)

of section 2 shall admit in Class at least 25% of the

strength of that class, the children belonging to weaker

section and disadvantaged group in neighbourhood and

provide free and compulsory elementary education to such

students and expenses shall be reimbursed by the State.

35. Much emphasis was laid by the learned counsel for the

petitioners on the fact that though the impugned

Government Resolution refers to the provisions of the

Right to Education Act, still it has considered the number

of additional divisions and not the strength of students,

while regularizing the additional divisions. As stated

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt above, the Government Resolution dated 02.12.2014 is a

result of the mess created by the Education Officer and to

streamline the same, the said Government Resolution is

issued. In fact it was to support the teachers who were

appointed on such additional divisions which were directed

to be absorbed by the Education Officer erroneously. Now,

as per the Act of 2009, teacher-pupil ratio will have to

be maintained.

36. The major objection of the petitioners is that

though the divisions of the closed down schools which were

directed to be absorbed were on grant in aid, under the

impugned resolution, the same is to be considered on non

grant in aid from the academic year 2013-14. The Right to

Education Act does not deal with providing grant in a

particular manner nor there is any Government Resolution

which states that if an additional division is granted or

additional post is created, the same would be directly on

grant-in-aid basis. It is not necessary that every school

and or every division has to be on grant-in-aid basis.

Those schools which do not receive complete aid from the

appropriate Government, they are directed to provide free

and compulsory education to 25% of the students and their

expenses is to be made by the Government.

37. The Apex Court, in case of Pramati Educational &

Cultural Trust & ors., referred supra, has observed as

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt under:

"44. When we examine the 2009 Act, we find that udner Section 12(1)(c) read with Section 2(n) (iv) of the Act, an unaided school not receiving any kind of aid or grants to meet its expenses from the appropriate Government or the local authority is required to admit in class I, to the extent of at least twenty-five percent of the strength of that class, children belonging to weaker section and disadvantaged group in the neighbourhood and provide free and compulsory elementary education till its completion. We further find that under Section 12 (2) of the 2009 Act such a school shall be reimbursed expenditure so incurred by it to the extent of per-child expenditure incurred by the State, or the actual amount charged from the child, whichever is less, in such manner as may be prescribed. Thus ultimately it is is the State which is funding the expenses of free and compulsory education of the children belonging to weaker sections and several groups in the neighbourhood, which are admitted to a private unaided school. These provisions of the 2009 Act, in our view, are for the purpose of providing free and compulsory education to childrne between the age group of 6 to 14 years and are consistent with the right under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, as interpreted by this Court in T.M.A. Pai foundation (Supra) and are meant to achieve the constitutional goals of equality of opportunity in elementary education to children of weaker sections and disadvantaged groups in our society. We, therefore, do not find any merit in the submissions made on behalf of the non-

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt minority private schools that Article 21-A of the Constitution and the 2009 Act violate their right under Article 19(1)()g) of the Constitution. "

38. Grant in aid is neither fundamental right nor

statutory right of educational institutions. The Division

Bench of this Court, in case of Keraleeya Samajam and

others Vs. State of Maharashtra and others, reported in

2004(2) Mh.L.J. 171, has held that grant-in-aid cannot be

claimed as of right. There is no legal or constitutional

right insofar as grant-in-aid is concerned.

39. We do not find any defined policy laid down by the

Government with regard to the sanction of additional posts

and for giving grant to them. We expect the State

Government to evolve a defined policy, keeping in view the

provisions of Section 12 of the Right to Education Act,

thereby laying down the grant of additional posts, powers

to grant additional posts so also eligibility for grant-in-

aid and the period of entitlement of grant-in-aid for

additional posts created.

40. Under the impugned Government Resolution, the

Government has held that those posts which would be

admissible would be on non grant-in-aid from the year 2013-

14. These posts are admissible for the academic year in

which the order was passed by the Education Officer i.e.

if the order was passed in February, July or August,

wp762-15 & connected wps.odt 2011, from the year 2011-12, if order was passed in 2012,

from the year 2012-2013, then it can consider providing

approval from the said years on non grant in aid instead of

the year 2013-14. Reliance placed on the Government

Resolutions dated 12.06.2007 and 6.12.2007 by the

petitioners would not enure to the benefit of the

petitioners.

41. The State Government shall reconsider whether

permission on non grant basis would be granted to these

divisions/posts from the year, the order was passed of

absorbing said divisions i.e. if the order was passed in

February and August, 2011, from the year 2011-12 and if the

order of absorption was passed in June, July, 2012, from

the year 2012-13. The State shall also take final

decision in respect of those 14 schools out of 21 in

respect of which the decision is not yet taken as is stated

in the impugned Government Resolution. The same would be

done expeditiously, preferably within four months. Writ

petitions accordingly disposed of. No costs.
