JUDGMENT
This writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P11 Government Order and seeks
a reconsideration of the issue of approval of the petitioner's appointment. It is
submitted that the petitioner had been appointed against an additional division
vacancy on 06.06.2007 and the appointment was approved only in the teachers
package from 01.06.2011. It is submitted that with regard to the period from
06.06.2007 to 31.05.2011 also, the petitioner is entitled to approval deeming that
the manager has submitted the bond in terms of the G.O.(P).No.10/10/G.Edn.
dated 12.01.2010. It is submitted that this Court had issued such directions to the
Government to deem that the bond has been duly executed by the manager even
in cases where matters are pending before the Apex Court raising challenges to
the deeming provision by the managers. Ext.P12 order in an identical case where
the benefits has been granted is also produced.
2. The learned Government Pleader submits that Ext.P10 judgment did
not direct the deeming of the submission of the bond by the manager, which is
the reason why Ext.P11 order has been passed specifically stating that since
there is no deeming directed by this Court, the petitioner is not entitled to
approval of appointment.
WP(C) NO. 13105 OF 2021
3. In view of the fact that identically situated teachers have been
granted the benefit of approval of appointment for the periods before 01.06.2011
deeming that the managers have submitted the bond, I am of the opinion that
the rejection of the claim of the petitioner's case alone on the ground that there
is no deeming directed in Ext.P10 judgment is unsustainable. This is more so in
view of the binding judgments of this Court in earlier cases as well as orders
passed by the Government in identical cases.
4. In the above view of the matter, Ext.P11 order is set aside. There will
be a direction to the 1st respondent to reconsider the issue deeming that the
manager has submitted the bond in terms of G.O.(P).No.10/10/G.Edn. dated
12.01.2010. Orders shall be passed within a period of two months from the date
of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
