--- Respondent(s)

(Cause title is taken from CIS system)

For Petitioners : Ms. Zainab Vanak, Advocate For Respondents/State : Ms. Anuja Sharma, Dy. G.A.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Parth Prateem Sahu Order On Board 21/04/2026

1. Petitioners have filed this petition seeking following relief (s) :-

"10.1 That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the respondents authority to consider the case of the petitioners for grant of the benefits of Kramonnati Vetanman on completion of 10 years of their services in view/ light of the order passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of this Hon'ble Court in the case of Smt. Sona Sahu Vs. State of Chhattisgarh and others passed in Writ Appeal No. 261/2023 on 28.02.2024 and also in

view of the circular / order dated 10.03.2017 issued by the State Government of Chhattisgarh.

10.2 That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly further be pleased to direct the respondents to give all the consequential benefits to the petitioners including the arrears of pay with interest from the date of the completion of 10 years of services till the actual payment of Kramonnati Vetanman within a stipulated period of time.

10.3 That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to disposed off the instant writ petition with the similar line as ordered / passed in the case of Smt. Sona Sahu Vs. State of Chhattisgarh and others passed in Writ Appeal No. 261/2023 on 28.02.2024.

10.4 That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to grant any other relief/relief's in favour of the petitioners, which the Hon'ble Court deemed fit & just in the facts and circumstances of the case, including awarding of the costs to the petitioner."

2. Learned counsel for petitioners submits that petitioners are entitled for

Kramonnati Vetanman in terms of decision in case of Sona Sahu Vs.

State of Chhattisgarh, in W.A. No.261 of 2023, decided on 28.02.2024.

3. Learned State counsel opposes the submission of learned counsel for

petitioners and would submit that case of the petitioners is different

than that of case of Sona Sahu. Petitioners were earlier employee of

Panchayat Department and thereafter, they were absorbed in

Education Department pursuant to policy decision taken by State

Government on 30.06.2018. Petitioners were not appointed as regular

Assistant Teacher by School Education Department but was appointed

by Janpad Panchayat. Coordinate Bench of this Court has considered

the issue with regard to grant of Kramonnati Vetanman to such

employee in WPS No.11009 of 2025 and other batch of writ petitions

and has dismissed those writ petitions.

4. Petitioners upon asking do not dispute the submission of learned State

counsel with respect to their initial appointment under Panchayat

Department by Janpad Panchayat as also decision in WP(S) No.11009

of 2025.

5. The Coordinate Bench of this Court while considering the batch of writ

petitions lead case bearing WPS No. 11009 of 2025 with regard to

grant of Kramonnati to petitioners therein, has dismissed the writ

petitions and observed thus :-

"35. Considering the facts of the case that the petitioners till absorption in pursuance of the policy dated 30.06.2018 are not teachers of the School Education Department, they were shikshakarmis though their designation has been changed as Assistant Teacher (panchayat), Teacher (panchayat) and Lecturer (panchayat) respectively and they are governed by the separate rules framed under the Panchayat Raj Adhiniyam, 1993, therefore, the petitioners are not fulfilling the criteria as laid down in the circular dated 10.03.2017, the bunch of the writ petitions are liable to be dismissed, accordingly, they are dismissed."

6. Since the facts of the case of petitioners as is identical to the facts of

the case in WP(S) No.11009 of 2025 is not disputed, this petition is

also dismissed in terms of order passed in WPS No.11009 of 2025 and

other connected case decided on 24.11.2025.
