... Respondents
For Petitioners : Mr. Shiv Sewak, Advocate For Respondent/State : Mr. Aditya Tiwari, Panel Lawyer For Respondent no. 7&8 : Mr. Pramod Shrivastava, Advocate
Hon'ble Shri Justice Parth Prateem Sahu Order On Board 18.03.2026
1. Petitioners have filed this petition seeking following relief (s) :-
"10.1 Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus, and/or any other appropriate writ, order or direction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India direction the Respondents to implement the 2017's Kramonnati Order read with Order dated 06.04.2019 issued by the Department of School Education, Government of Chhattisgarh by upgrading and fixing the pay scale of the Petitioner from the date of completion of 10 years or 20 years of service in the same grade as the case may be.
10.2 Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus and or any other appropriate writ, order or direction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India directing the respondents for disbursement of arrears accrued from the date of completion of 10 years or 20 years (as the case may be) in the service by the petitioner till date after verifying from the local fund auditor, and to sent the revised last pay certificate book along with the information of the newly determined pay scale to the current Drawing and Disbursing Officer(s) of the Petitioners.

10.4 Pass such other and further reliefs as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of this case."
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 are different
than that of case of Sona Sahu. Petitioners were earlier employees 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 were
appointed by Janpad Panchayat. Coordinate Bench of this Court has
considered the issue with regard to grant of Kramonnati Vetanman to
such employees 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. 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.
