3. It is submitted that in this matter, the petitioner has worked on unaided post for four years and more.
4. We have in our judgment dated 4.7.2019 in Writ Petition No. 1493 of 2018 with connected Writ Petitions held that some of the clauses of the Circular dated 28.6.2016 do not apply. It appears that the Education Officer, while granting approval to the appointment of petitioner as an Assistant Teacher from the date of transfer to the aided posts had granted approval on grant-in-aid in phase-wise manner to the effect that after five years, the petitioner would be granted approval on 20% grant-in-aid. The same would not be in tune with the order passed by this Court from time to time at this Bench and also at principal seat.
5. In case the petitioner is transferred on 100% grant-in-aid post since the date of completion of three years, the petitioner shall be considered on 100% grant-in-aid posts. In case the petitioner
(3) 921-wp-9610-2021
is transferred on grant-in-aid posts, for example on 60%, then from the date of transfer, she would be on 60% grant-in-aid posts, but if the petitioner, after having completed three years on unaided post and are transferred on 100% grant-in- aid posts, her service will have to be considered on 100% grant-in-post. This aspect has been ignored by the Director of Education / Dy. Director of Education / Education Officer.
6. In light of above, the impugned order of granting approval in phase-wise manner is quashed and set aside and modified.
7. In case the Director of Education / Dy. Director of Education / Education Officer are satisfied about approval to the transfer of the petitioner on aided post and if the petitioner has completed three years and more on unaided post before she is transferred to aided posts on 100% grant-in-aid post, then respondents - Director of Education / Dy. Director of Education / Education Officer shall consider grant of approval to the transfer of the petitioner on 100% grant-in-aid posts within a period of six months.
8. Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs
