JUDGMENT

(Judgement of the Court was made by Mr.R.SURESH KUMAR.,J.)

The issue raised in these writ appeals have already been raised in

connected writ appeals in W.A.Nos.1108 and 1109 of 2012, which also

arose out of the common impugned order passed by the Writ Court dated

25.01.2012 and the same since has been decided by our order dated

17.07.2023, we feel that nothing could be persuaded further in these

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Page No.16/18 Writ Appeal Nos.2753 to 2756 of 2012

appeals as the writ appeals filed by the concerned Teachers were

dismissed as withdrawn and connected writ appeals were dismissed by

our order dated 17.07.2023.Therefore, following the same these writ

appeals are also disposed of to the terms indicated in the aforesaid

judgment in W.A.Nos.1108 and 1109 of 2012 and accordingly disposed

of. No costs. Connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.

                                                                (R.S.K.,J.)         (K.B., J.)
