JUDGMENT
These writ petitions have been filed by Higher Secondary
School Teachers, who are working in the aided schools, pointing
out about the upgradation of posts in the schools, and the
prescription of the Government in the Order dated G.O.(Ms) No.
211/2013/G.Edn. dated 15.07.2013, providing for a prospective
operation alone.
2. Sri.K.T.Shyam Kumar, the learned counsel for the
petitioners, would rely on the judgment of this Court in W.P.(C)
No.20849 of 2013, which has been subsequently confirmed by
a Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.724 of 2015 to contend
that the issue has been already decided in favour of the
petitioners.
3. Heard Sri.E.G.Gorden, the learned Senior
Government Pleader also.
4. The fact that the issue raised in these writ petitions
have already been decided in W.A.No.724 of 2015 is not in
dispute. It is further seen that the judgment in W.A.No.724 of
2015 was a subject matter of further challenge before the
W.P.(C) Nos.19739, 16697, 18748, 19128,
19179, 19625, 20496 & 25096 of 2019
2025:KER:21676
Hon'ble Apex Court in SLP (C) No.18120 of 2019, which has
already been rejected by the Hon'ble Apex Court as per the
judgment dated 30.04.2024.
In the light of the afore, these writ petitions would also
stand disposed of, in terms of the judgment in W.A.No.724 of
2015 dated 28.02.2019 as confirmed by the Hon'ble Apex Court
as noticed earlier.
