in-aid manner.

from OBC category. His appointment on unaided post is approved.

No.1493 of 2018 with connected Writ Petitions held that some of the
clauses of the Circular dated 28th June 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 post 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 and also by the Bench
at Aurangabad, from time to time.
5 In case the Petitioner is transferred on 100% grant-in-aid post
since the date of completion of three years, he shall be considered on
100% grant-in-aid post. In case the Petitioner is transferred on
grant-in-aid post, for example on 60%, then from the date of transfer,
they would be on 60% grant-in-aid post, but if the Petitioner, after
having completed three years on unaided post and is transferred on
100% grant-in-aid post, his services will have to be considered on
100% grant-in-aid 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 is 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 he is transferred to aided
post on 100% grant-in-aid post, then Respondent 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 post within a period of six months.
8 The Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
