DATED : 24/08/2021.

PER COURT :

. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that all

these petitioners have worked on unaided posts for more than three

years. Upon the posts becoming vacant on grant in aid, the petitioners

are transferred to the grant in aid posts. The approvals have been

granted to the transfers of the petitioners on the aided posts, but on

20% grant in aid. The learned counsel further submits that after

having worked for more than three years on unaided posts, the

approvals ought to have been granted on 100% grant in aid. The

learned counsel relies on the judgment of this Court in Writ Petition

No. 1493 of 2018 with connected writ petitions dated 04.07.2019.

WP No. 9263/21

3. We have also heard the learned A.G.P. for respondent Nos.

1 and 2.

4. It appears that the appointments of the petitioners on unaided

posts are approved. The petitioners are transferred to the aided posts

after working on unaided posts for more than three years. In case, the

petitioners are transferred on 100% grant in aid posts, then in such

circumstance, the approvals have to be granted on 100% grant in aid.

Under judgment and order dated 04.07.2019 in Writ Petition No. 1493

WP No. 9263/21

of 2018 with connected writ petitions, we have held that some of the

clauses of circular dated 28.06.2016 do not apply.

5. In the light of the above, the impugned order to the extent

of grant approval in a phase wise manner is set aside. If the Education

Officer satisfies that the petitioners have completed three years of

service on unaided posts, then the Education Officer shall grant

approval to the petitioners on 100% grant in aid from the date of their

transfers. The said exercise shall be done within a period of four (04)

months from today.

6. Writ petition accordingly is disposed of. No costs.
