For Petitioners : Mr. Shiv Sewak Manjhi, Advocate For Respondents : Mr. Hariom Rai, Panel Lawyer S.B. Hon'ble Shri Justice Parth Prateem Sahu Order On Board 20/03/2026

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

"10.1 That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to 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 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

10.4 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 submit 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 petitioner is different than

that of case of Sona Sahu (Supra). 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 Teachers 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 employee in WPS No.11009 of 2025 and other batch of writ

petitions and has dismissed those writ petitions.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioners upon asking do not dispute the

submission of learned State counsel with respect to his 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.
