                                            SHRIKANT D. KULKARNI, JJ.
                               DATED :      22nd JANUARY, 2021.

 PER COURT:-

 .        The transfers of the petitioners from unaided posts to aided posts

have been approved by the Deputy Director of Education / Education

Officer (Secondary), but the same have been approved as Shikshan

Sevaks from the date of transfers on aided posts.

2. The grievance of Mr. Choukidar, the learned counsel for

petitioners is that, the services rendered on unaided posts are required

to be considered by the Deputy Director of Education / Education

Officer (Secondary).


 3.       The        learned   Additional     Government           Pleader          for


                                                                               2 of 4





                                     3               985-wp 1247-2021.odt

respondents/State relies on the circular dated 28.06.2016 to contend

that, approvals can only be granted as Shikshan Sevaks from the date

of transfers on aided posts.

4. Said issue is no longer res-integra in view of the judgment of this

Court in Writ Petition No. 1493 of 2018 with other connected writ

petitions decided under order dated 04 th July, 2019. It has been

considered by us that the services rendered on unaided posts will have

to be considered while granting approval. If the petitioners have

rendered services on unaided posts before their transfers on aided post,

then the approvals have to be granted considering the services

rendered on unaided posts.

5. In the present cases, the petitioners are transferred on rendering

service on unaided posts for six months to four years.

6. In the result, the impugned orders granting approvals to the

petitioners as Shikshan Sevaks from the date of transfers to the aided

posts are quashed and set aside to that extent only. The Deputy Director

of Education / Education Officer (Secondary) while granting the

approvals to the petitioners as Shikshan Sevaks on the aided posts,

shall consider the services rendered by the petitioners on unaided

posts. To illustrate, if, the petitioners have rendered services on unaided

post for two years and are transferred to aided posts, their services will

be approved as Shikshan Sevak for one year from the date of transfers

and thereafter as a Assistant Teachers. The Deputy Director of

Education / Education Officer (Secondary) shall consider all these

proposals and give approvals as directed above.

7. In view of the above, the writ petitions are partly allowed in

above terms. No costs.
