5 Minutes Order dated 02/02/2021 This Order is modified/corrected by Speaking to W.P. 1356-2021

3. It is submitted that in all these matters, the petitioners have worked on

unaided posts 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 petitioners 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

petitioners 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 petitioners are transferred on 100% grant-in-aid posts

since the date of completion of three years, they shall be considered on

100% grant-in-aid posts. In case the petitioners are transferred on grant-in-

aid posts, for example on 60%, then from the date of transfer, they would be

on 60% grant-in-aid posts, but if the petitioners, after having completed three

years on unaided posts and are transferred on 100% grant-in-aid posts, their

services will have to be considered on 100% grant-in-posts. This aspect has

been ignored by the 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 Education Officer is satisfied about approval to the transfer

of the petitioners on aided posts and if the petitioners have completed three

years and more on unaided posts before they are transferred to aided posts

on 100% grant-in-aid posts, then respondent - Education Officer shall

6 Minutes Order dated 02/02/2021 This Order is modified/corrected by Speaking to W.P. 1356-2021

consider grant of approval to the transfer of the petitioners on 100% grant-in-

aid posts within a period of six months.

8. Writ Petitions disposed of. No costs
