                        which the provisional appointment letters issued to
                        the petitioners has been cancelled and further
                        direction has been given to all the District Education
                        Officer to post the exclusive teachers including the
                        petitioners at the place/School where they were
                        originally/earlier posted. (Annexure-12)

                        nature of certiorari for setting aside the provisional
                        appointment letters issued to the extent by which the
                        provision of Amended Rule -2024 has been wrongly
                        applied in the case of the petitioners.
                                   iii) To issue a writ/order/direction in the
                        nature of mandamus, directing the respondent
                        authorities to give effect to the earlier provisional
                        appointment letter dated 20.11.2024 and further post
                        the petitioner in the allotted Districts in accordance
                        with the provisions of unamended 2023 rules.
                                   iv) To issue a writ/order/direction in the
                        nature of mandamus, directing the respondent
                        authorities to issue provisional appointment letter in
                        favour             of           the           petitioner

                        and 88 similar to the other petitioners on basis of the
                        merit list and further post the petitioners in the
                        allotted districts in accordance with the provisions of
                        2023 rules.
                                   v) To hold and declare that the respondent
                        authorities are duty bond to complete the process of
                        constitution of cadre of exclusive teachers in
                        accordance with Rules called Bihar School Exclusive
                        Teachers Rules, 2023.
                                   vi) To hold and declare that Bihar State
                        Exclusive Teacher (Amendment) Rule, 2024 is not
                        applicable in relation to the process of constitution of
                        cadre of exclusive teachers which has already been
                        initiated prior to coming into force of Amendment
                        Rules. 2024.

                        during the pendency of the writ application
                        restraining the respondent authorities from filling the
                        seats in the Schools in the Districts allotted to the
                        petitioners and or directing the respondent
                        authorities to reserve the posts of teachers in the
                        schools for the petitioners in the districts allotted to
                        them."

                    3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

       petitioners were initially appointed as Local Bodies Teachers as

       per the provisions of Bihar Panchayat Primary Teacher

       (Appointment and Service Conditions) Rule, 2012 and their

       respective appointment letters have been brought on record as

       Annexure-P1 series. It is submitted that all the petitioners have

       been serving in Government Schools situated in districts other than

       their home districts and have continuously discharged their duties

       in accordance with the Rules and Government guidelines without

       any complaint.

                    4. Learned counsel further submits that the State

       Government, in exercise of powers conferred under Article 309 of

       the Constitution of India, framed the Bihar State School Teacher

       (Appointment, Transfer, Disciplinary Proceeding and Service

       Condition) Rules, 2023, which came into force on 10.04.2023 and

       has been brought on record as Annexure-P2. It is contended that

       under the said Rules a policy decision was taken by the State

       Government with regard to appointment, transfer and service

       conditions of School Teachers and, significantly, a provision was

       introduced enabling transfer/posting of teachers in their home

       districts.
 Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026
                                         41/112




                    It is further submitted that thereafter the State

       Government framed another set of Rules, namely the Bihar School

       Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023 (hereinafter for brevity, referred to

       "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023"), for the teachers

       employed by local bodies, with the object of bringing them at par

       with School Teachers appointed under the Bihar State School

       Teacher (Appointment, Transfer, Disciplinary Proceeding and

       Service Condition) Rules, 2023. The said Rules have been brought

       on record as Annexure-P3.

                    5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Rule

       2(1)(vi) of the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023"

       defines "Exclusive Teachers" to mean all serving teachers

       employed by local bodies who are covered under the relevant

       Local Bodies Teachers Rules, 2020 and who have passed the

       competency test under Rule 4 of the said Rules. It is further

       submitted that Rule 3 of the said Rules provides that all teachers

       employed by various tiers of local bodies shall be required to pass

       a competency test under Rule 4 and upon qualifying the same and

       joining the allotted schools, they shall be known as "Exclusive

       Teachers". It is contended that the Rules further provide that at the

       time of appearing in the competency test, teachers were required to

       furnish three choices of districts where they desired to serve and
 Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026
                                         42/112




       the districts were to be allotted on the basis of merit/rank obtained

       in the competency test. Rule 4 specifically contemplated that the

       Department, through a Government agency, would conduct the

       competency test and that the candidates would furnish three

       district preferences while applying for the said examination. It is

       contended that district allotment was an integral and substantive

       part of the statutory scheme under the "Unamended Exclusive

       Teachers Rules, 2023".

                    It is further submitted that vide Notification dated

       15.01.2024

, the State Government authorized the Bihar School

Examination Board (BSEB) to conduct the competency test under

Rule 4 of the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023",

which notification has been brought on record as Annexure-P4.

Thereafter, vide Memo No.139 dated 23.01.2024, detailed

guidelines were issued regarding the conduct of the competency

test (Annexure-P5).

6. Learned counsel submits that Clause-10 of the said

guidelines specifically provided that after qualifying the

competency test, a passing certificate would be issued by the

BSEB and Clause-12(v) further stipulated that at the time of

submission of the application form, the local bodies teachers were

required to provide three district preferences and the districts were Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

to be allotted by the BSEB, whereas schools were to be allotted by

the Department.

It is further submitted that pursuant thereto, the BSEB

issued Advertisement dated 25.01.2024 inviting applications from

Local Bodies Teachers for appearing in the competency test under

Rule 4 of the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023"

(Annexure-P6). Learned counsel submits that Clause-11 of the

advertisement also reiterated the requirement of furnishing three

district preferences and Clause-18 contemplated counselling and

document verification after declaration of results and prior to

allotment of schools.

7. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits

that all the petitioners, being eligible Local Bodies Teachers

governed by the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023",

submitted their applications within the stipulated period along with

all requisite documents and while submitting their applications,

each of the petitioners furnished three district preferences in terms

of Rule 4 of the said Rules, the guidelines dated 23.01.2024 and

the advertisement dated 25.01.2024. It is further submitted that all

the petitioners appeared in the competency test conducted in

February, 2024 and all of them were declared successful. Their

respective score cards/result cards issued by the BSEB have been Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

brought on record as Annexure-P7 series. Learned counsel submits

that the result cards themselves reflected the districts allotted to the

petitioners in accordance with their merit and district preferences

under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023".

8. Learned counsel further submits that thereafter the

petitioners were called for counselling and document verification

and all the petitioners duly participated therein. It is next submitted

that all their documents were verified by the concerned District

Education Officers and status reports confirming such verification

were also issued (Annexure-P8). It is contended that after

completion of counselling and verification, the Director, Primary

Education, Government of Bihar issued Memo No.1590 dated

15.11.2024 directing issuance of provisional appointment letters to

all successful Exclusive Teachers on 20.11.2024 (Annexure-P9),

pursuant thereto provisional appointment letters dated 20.11.2024

were issued to most of the petitioners by the District Education

Officers of the allotted districts, except in some cases where such

letters could not be issued for administrative reasons. The said

provisional appointment letters have been annexed as Annexure-

P10 series.

It is further contended that the appointment letters

themselves specifically recorded that the appointments had been Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

made under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and

that the district allotment had been made on the basis of merit and

district preference in accordance with Rule 4 of the said Rules.

9. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits

that with issuance of provisional appointment letters, the entire

selection process stood substantially concluded and only the

ministerial/formal act of allotment of schools within the allotted

districts remained. It is submitted that the petitioners, therefore,

acquired a legitimate expectation that they would be permitted to

join as Exclusive Teachers in the allotted districts in accordance

with the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023".

It is further submitted that subsequently the State

Government amended the Bihar School Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023 by Gazette Notification dated 19.12.2024 (hereinafter for

brevity, referred to as "Amendment Rules of 2024"), which

amendment has been brought on record as Annexure-P/11.

Learned counsel contends that by the said "Amendment Rules of

2024", Rule-4 and Rule-10 of "Unamended Exclusive Teachers

Rules, 2023" stood substituted and the provision relating to district

choice was deleted and it provided for posting of "Exclusive

Teachers" in their preposted schools. However, according to

learned counsel, the amendment was prospective in nature and did Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

not contain any provision conferring retrospective operation of the

amended Rules 4 & 10 nor any clause nullifying actions already

completed under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023".

10. Learned counsel further submits that since the

competency test, district allotment, counselling, verification and

issuance of provisional appointment letters had already been

completed under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023", the "Amendment Rules of 2024" could not legally be

applied to the cases of the petitioners. It is, therefore, contended

that the petitioners had acquired substantive and vested rights

under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and such

rights could not be taken away retrospectively in absence of any

express provision to that effect.

It is further submitted that while only allotment of

schools remained to be completed, the Director, Primary

Education, Government of Bihar issued Memo No.2036 dated

21.12.2024 cancelling the provisional appointment letters issued in

favour of the petitioners and the likes directing all such teachers to

rejoin the schools where they had earlier been working. The said

Memo has been brought on record as Annexure-P/12, which is

under challenge.

Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

11. Learned counsel submits that thereafter fresh

provisional appointment letters (Annexure-P/13 Series) were

issued by wrongly applying the "Amendment Rules of 2024"

instead of permitting the petitioners to join in their allotted districts

as determined under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023". It is contended that the petitioners were thereafter

compelled to join their earlier places of posting as they had no

option except to comply in order to protect their services. One

such joining letter issued in favour of petitioner no.1 has been

brought on record as Annexure-P/14. The provisional appointment

letters subsequently issued applying the "Amendment Rules of

2024" have also been challenged.

12. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits

that the action of the respondent authorities in cancelling the

provisional appointment letters issued under the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and in forcing the petitioners to

rejoin their earlier schools is wholly arbitrary, discriminatory and

violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. It is

contended that the respondents were duty bound to complete the

process initiated under Rule-4 of the "Unamended Exclusive

Teachers Rules, 2023" by allotting schools in the districts already Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

allotted to the petitioners on the basis of merit and district

preference.

It is further submitted that once the recruitment process

commenced under a particular statutory framework and had

proceeded to the stage of issuance of provisional appointment

letters, the respondents could not alter the rules of the game

midway by applying the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023" retrospectively. The advertisement, the guidelines and the

statutory Rules together created enforceable rights and legitimate

expectations in favour of the petitioners.

13. Learned counsel also submits that it is a settled

principle of law that every statute or statutory rule is prospective

unless expressly or by necessary implication made retrospective.

According to learned counsel the "Amendment Rules of 2024" did

not disclose any intention to retrospectively invalidate or reopen

processes already concluded under the "Unamended Exclusive

Teachers Rules, 2023". It is further submitted that similarly

situated petitioners, namely petitioner nos.5, 12, 18, 22, 25, 31, 32,

33, 40, 48, 64, 67, 68, 70, 81, 86 and 88, despite having qualified

in the competency test under the same advertisement and under the

same statutory regime, were not even issued provisional

appointment letters under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

Rules, 2023", which action is also stated to be arbitrary and

discriminatory. It is however informed by the learned counsel for

the petitioners that during the pendency of the writ application the

petitioner nos.5, 12, 18, 22, 25, 31, 32, 33, 40, 48, 64, 67, 68, 70,

81, 86 and 88 were directly issued provisional appointment letters

applying the "Amendment Rules of 2024" and thereby posting

them at the place they were earlier working, which they had no

choice but to comply under the afore-enumerated compelling

circumstances.

14. Per Contra, learned counsel for the respondent no.2

(State) submits that the present writ petition has been filed

questioning the legality and validity of the order contained in

Memo No.2036 dated 21.12.2024 issued by the Director, Primary

Education, Bihar, whereby the provisional appointment letters

earlier issued in favour of the petitioners were cancelled and

consequential directions were issued to the concerned District

Education Officers for permitting the petitioners and other

similarly situated teachers to continue at the schools where they

were originally posted.

It is submitted on behalf of the respondent no.2 (State)

that the impugned order dated 21.12.2024 has been issued in

exercise of powers flowing from the "Unamended Exclusive Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

Teachers Rules, 2023" as amended by the "Amendment Rules of

2024" notified vide Notification No.3054 dated 19.12.2024.

15. Learned counsel submits that under Rule 2(vii) of

the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023", an "Exclusive

Teacher" has been defined to mean a serving local bodies teacher

who has qualified the prescribed competency test. It is contended

that after amendment of the said Rules on 19.12.2024, a revised

statutory mechanism was introduced regarding issuance of

appointment letters and posting of teachers who had qualified the

competency test.

It is further submitted that pursuant to the "Amendment

Rules of 2024", the Director, Primary Education, Bihar issued the

impugned order dated 21.12.2024 for implementation of the said

Rules. Under the said order, all District Education Officers were

directed to issue provisional appointment letters to eligible

teachers from 23.12.2024 onwards through a standardized

software-based system. It was further clarified therein that all

earlier provisional appointment letters issued by the District

Education Officers would stand cancelled.

16. Learned counsel for the respondent no.2 further

submits that under the impugned order all such teachers were

directed to be posted in the same schools where they had earlier Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

been working and formal posting orders were to be issued

accordingly. It is contended that after joining pursuant to the said

posting orders, the teachers concerned would discharge duties as

"Exclusive Teachers" in the allotted schools and from the date of

joining as "Exclusive Teachers", they would automatically stand

relieved from their earlier status as local bodies teachers.

17. Learned counsel further submits that the reasons

behind issuance of the impugned order dated 21.12.2024 were

administrative as well as statutory in nature. It was also orally

argued that the "Amendment Rules of 2024" had to be brought

because most of the teachers who were posted in their home

district did not want to be displaced (however this fact is not borne

out from the affidavit filed by the respondent no.2). It is, therefore,

submitted that after notification of the "Amendment Rules of

2024" vide Notification No.3054 dated 19.12.2024, the Director

was fully empowered to issue implementation guidelines in terms

of the said amended Rules. It is contended that the impugned order

was issued with the object of streamlining the process of issuance

of appointment letters through a uniform software-based

mechanism so as to avoid administrative confusion,

inconsistencies and legal irregularities arising out of provisional Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

appointment letters issued earlier by different District Education

Officers.

18. Learned counsel also submits that the impugned

directions were issued keeping in view the larger public interest

and with the intention of ensuring continuity in the educational

system so that teaching activities in Government Schools are not

adversely affected. It is submitted that if all such teachers were

immediately shifted from their existing schools, it would have

resulted in serious administrative dislocation and disruption in the

functioning of educational institutions. Accordingly, the teachers

were directed to continue in the schools where they were already

working and complete their joining between 01.01.2025 and

07.01.2025.

It is thus submitted that the impugned order merely

operationalizes and implements the amended statutory Rules by

providing a standardized procedure for issuance of fresh

appointment letters and posting orders. Learned counsel submits

that the earlier provisional appointment letters were superseded

only in order to give effect to the "Amendment Rules of 2024" and

not with any malafide intention or arbitrariness.

19. Learned counsel for the respondent no.2 further

submits that the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023"

Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

themselves contemplate change in service conditions of teachers

who qualify the competency test and no vested or indefeasible

right accrued in favour of the petitioners merely on the basis of

provisional appointment letters. According to learned counsel, no

fundamental or legal right of the petitioners has been infringed by

the impugned order and, on the contrary, the implementation of the

"Amendment Rules of 2024" is intended to confer benefit upon

successful candidates by integrating them into the State teaching

cadre. It is, therefore, contended that the petitioners cannot claim a

right contrary to the statutory framework and cannot seek to

disregard the "Amendment Rules of 2024" merely because they

are dissatisfied with the policy decision of the State Government.

20. Learned counsel submits that apart from expressing

disagreement with the administrative decision reflected in the

impugned order, the petitioners have failed to point out any

illegality or procedural irregularity. It is further submitted that the

impugned order is merely an administrative guideline issued for

implementation of validly framed statutory Rules and does not

create any new disability or adverse civil consequence warranting

interference in exercise of writ jurisdiction. It is contended that the

impugned order is not a quasi-judicial determination affecting any

accrued legal right of the petitioners and, therefore, the scope of Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

judicial review in the present matter is extremely limited. Learned

counsel submits that in absence of any demonstrable violation of

statutory provisions or constitutional mandate, no case for

interference is made out.

21. Learned counsel further submits that the challenge

made by the petitioners proceeds on an erroneous assumption that

the Department acted beyond its authority while issuing the

impugned order, whereas in fact the same was issued strictly under

the authority conferred by the "Amendment Rules of 2024". It is

submitted that the Rules were duly notified and the Director,

Primary Education was fully competent to issue implementation

instructions pursuant thereto. It is further submitted that the

petition itself is premature and misconceived inasmuch as the

petitioners continue to remain in service and their appointment as

"Exclusive Teachers" is being processed in accordance with law

and under the amended statutory scheme.

22. Learned counsel for the respondent no.2 submits that

the impugned order has been issued to faithfully enforce the

"Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" as amended vide

Notification No.3054 dated 19.12.2024. The Rules contemplate

appointment and posting of teachers qualifying the competency

test as "Exclusive Teachers" and the Department was fully Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

competent to streamline and coordinate the process of appointment

and posting in administrative interest. It is further submitted that

the direction requiring the petitioners and similarly situated

teachers to continue in the schools where they were already posted

is fully consistent with the object and scheme of the "Amendment

Rules of 2024". According to learned counsel, such posting

ensures continuity in education and prevents disruption in

academic activities. It is contended that continuation in the

existing schools cannot be treated as a grievance, rather the same

is beneficial from an administrative as well as academic

standpoint.

23. Learned counsel also submits that the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" as amended contemplate a

phased transition from local bodies teachers to Exclusive Teachers

and do not confer immediate permanent status upon qualifying the

competency test. The provisional appointment letters followed by

formal joining and confirmation form part of the statutory

transition process envisaged under the "Amendment Rules of

2024".

It is further submitted that the provisional appointment

letters subsequently issued by the District Education Officers

pursuant to the amended procedure were generated through the Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

authorized software system and were duly authenticated. Learned

counsel submits that replacement of earlier provisional

appointment letters with software-generated letters does not

prejudice the petitioners in any manner and merely ensures

procedural uniformity and administrative regularity.

In conclusion, learned counsel for the respondent no.2

submits that the answering respondents have acted strictly within

the four corners of the statutory framework and the impugned

order dated 21.12.2024 faithfully implements the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" as amended in 2024. It is

contended that there is no illegality, arbitrariness or violation of

constitutional or statutory provisions in the action of the

respondents. It is thus submitted that the writ petition being devoid

of merit is fit to be dismissed.

24. Learned counsel for the respondent Bihar School

Examination Board (B.S.E.B.) states that all the petitioners are

admittedly Local Bodies Teachers appointed under the provisions

of the Bihar Panchayat Primary Teachers (Appointment and

Service Conditions) Rules, 2012. It is submitted that subsequently

the State Government framed the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers

Rules, 2023" with the object of bringing teachers employed by the

Local Bodies at par with teachers appointed under the Bihar Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

School Teachers (Appointment, Transfer, Disciplinary Proceeding

and Service Condition) Rules, 2023.

Learned counsel further submits that under Rule 3 read

with Rule 4 of the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023",

all Local Bodies Teachers were required to qualify the competency

test and upon qualifying the same, they were to be brought under a

single district cadre as "Exclusive Teachers" from the date of

joining in the allotted schools. It is further submitted that thereafter

the State Government amended the Bihar School Exclusive

Teachers Rules, 2023 by way of the "Amendment Rules of 2024"

notified on 19.12.2024 and pursuant thereto all the teachers

including the petitioners, except some of them, were directed to

join in the schools where they were already working after

cancellation of their earlier provisional appointment letters.

Learned counsel submits that the principal grievance of the

petitioners pertains to the issue of appointment and posting under

the "Amendment Rules of 2024".

25. Learned counsel submits that by Notification

contained in Memo No.11 dated 15.01.2024, the Bihar School

Examination Board was authorized by the State Government to

conduct the Competency Test, 2024 (CTT-2024) in terms of Rule 4

and Rule-13 of the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023". Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

A copy of the said Notification has been brought on record as

Annexure-R/A.

Learned counsel further submits that pursuant to the

aforesaid authorization, the answering respondent Board issued

advertisement dated 25.01.2024 for conducting the Competency

Test, 2024 (CTT-2024). It is submitted that the petitioners

appeared in the said examination and were declared successful and

thereafter became eligible for posting as "Exclusive Teachers" in

the allotted schools in accordance with the applicable Rules.

26. Learned counsel for the respondent B.S.E.B.

specifically submits that the Board has no role whatsoever in the

matter of appointment, posting or issuance of appointment letters.

According to learned counsel, the role of the Board is confined

only to conducting the competency examination under the

instructions issued by the Education Department and verification

of certificates/documents of the candidates. It is further submitted

that matters relating to appointment and posting are to be governed

strictly in accordance with the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers

Rules, 2023" and the amended provisions thereof and such matters

do not fall within the ambit, authority or jurisdiction of the

answering respondent Board.

ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION:

Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

1. Whether the respondent authorities were legally

justified in applying the "Amendment Rules of 2024"

retrospectively to the cases of the petitioners, despite the

competency test, district allotment, counselling, document

verification and issuance of provisional appointment letters having

already been completed under the "Unamended Exclusive

Teachers Rules, 2023"?

2. Whether the cancellation of the provisional

appointment letters dated 20.11.2024 issued in favour of the

petitioners and the consequential direction compelling them to

continue in their earlier schools vide Memo No.2036 dated

21.12.2024 are arbitrary, violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the

Constitution of India and contrary to the doctrine that the "rules of

the game" cannot be changed after commencement and substantial

completion of the selection process?

3. Whether the petitioners, after qualifying the

competency test and being allotted districts and issued provisional

appointment letters under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers

Rules, 2023", had acquired a vested right and/or legitimate

expectation to be posted in the allotted districts in accordance with

the unamended statutory rules, which could not be defeated by

subsequent executive action or amendment in the Rules? Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

FINDINGS:

1. Whether the respondent authorities were legally

justified in applying the "Amendment Rules of 2024"

retrospectively to the cases of the petitioners, despite the

competency test, district allotment, counselling, document

verification and issuance of provisional appointment letters

having already been completed under the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023"?

Findings on Issue no. (1)

So far as Issue No.1 is concerned, namely, whether the

respondent authorities were legally justified in applying the

"Amendment Rules of 2024" retrospectively to the cases of the

petitioners despite the competency test, district allotment,

counselling, document verification and issuance of provisional

appointment letters having already been completed under the

unamended "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023", this

Court proceeds to examine the statutory scheme, the sequence of

events and the rival submissions advanced on behalf of the parties.

From the materials available on record, it appears that

the petitioners were initially appointed as Local Bodies Teachers

under the prevailing statutory framework governing

Panchayat/Local Bodies Teachers. Subsequently, the State Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

Government framed the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023" with the object of bringing Local Bodies Teachers at par

with teachers appointed under the Bihar School Teachers

(Appointment, Transfer, Disciplinary Proceeding and Service

Condition) Rules, 2023.

Under the scheme of the "Unamended Exclusive

Teachers Rules, 2023", particularly Rule 3 read with Rule 4

thereof, all Local Bodies Teachers were required to qualify a

competency test conducted through an authorized Government

agency and upon qualifying the same and joining in the allotted

schools, such teachers were to be treated as "Exclusive Teachers".

The Rules further contemplated that at the time of submission of

the application form for the competency test, candidates were

required to furnish preferences of districts where they intended to

serve and district allotment was to be made on the basis of merit

obtained in the competency test. Relevant portion of Rule 3 and

Rule 4 of the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" are

quoted here for reference:

"Rule-3 Constitution of Cadre:- (1) All the teachers

employed by the various tiers of local bodies (viz. Panchayati Raj

and Urban Bodies) shall be required to pass a competency test

under Rule 4 and upon passing the test and joining the allotted Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

school thereafter be called "Exclusive Teachers". The Local

Bodies Teachers employed at various. ties of local bodies shall

stand merged as a single cadre at the district level from the date of

joining the allotted school as per the allotted district in the

competency test. They shall constitute a separate cadre whose

service conditions shall henceforth be regulated by these Rules.

Provided that these Exclusive Teachers upon passing the

competency test under Rule 4 will be entitled to avail the salary

and other perks appointed under Bihar State School Teachers

(Appointment, Transfer, Disciplinary Proceedings and Service

Conditions) Rules, 2023. Provided further that any disciplinary

action, vigilance enquiry or any other Pestigation pending against

such"Local Bodies" Teachers who become "Exclusive Teachers",

shall continue as per the provisions of these new Rules.

(2) As and when an Exclusive Teacher retires or resigns

or is dismissed, the resulting Vacancy shall not be filled by local

bodies. The Department shall be competent to retain a certain

percentage of such vacancies for promotion of these Exclusive

Teachers and transfer the remaining to the cadre of School

Teachers appointed under Bihar State School Teachers

(Appointment, Transfer, Disciplinary Proceedings and Service

Conditions) Rules, 2023.

Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

(3) Those "local bodies" teachers who do not appear in

or pass the Competency Test as per Rule 4, shall continue to

remain "Local Bodies" Teachers.

Rule-4- Competency Test:- The Department, through a

government agency of its choice shall conduct a competency test

for all serving Local Bodies Teachers. The competency test shall

be conducted over a period of one year from the date of

promulgation of these Rules. Three attempts to pass the

competency test shall be given to each local bodies teacher. At the

time of appearing in the test, the local bodies teacher shall be

required to give three choices of the districts they wish to serve as

Exclusive Teachers. Districts shall be allotted based on their rank

in the competency test. Provided that cases of all those local

bodies teachers who do not appear or fail to clear the competency

test in the 3rd attempt shall be considered separately by the

Department. The Department shall constitute a committee to

consider the cases of all such local bodies teachers and make

suitable recommendation to the Government and to that extent, the

"Local Bodies Teachers Rules, 2020" shall stand modified."

Further, the guidelines issued by the State Government

vide Memo dated 23.01.2024 as well as the advertisement issued

by the Bihar School Examination Board on 25.01.2024 also Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

reiterated the aforesaid statutory position and specifically provided

that candidates would furnish district preferences and districts

would be allotted accordingly. Relevant paragraph of the guideline

regarding conducting of competency test are reproduced herein for

[Emphasis supplied]

It is not in dispute that pursuant to the aforesaid Rules

and guidelines, all the petitioners submitted their applications,

furnished district preferences, appeared in the competency test

conducted in February, 2024 and were declared successful. The

result cards issued by the Bihar School Examination Board itself Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

reflected the districts allotted to the petitioners as per the district

preferences given by them.

Thereafter, the petitioners were called for counselling

and document verification and the records disclose that their

credentials were duly verified by the concerned authorities.

Subsequently, provisional appointment letters dated 20.11.2024

came to be issued in favour of the petitioners by the respective

District Education Officers of the allotted districts.

A perusal of the said provisional appointment letters

demonstrates that the appointments had been made in accordance

with the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and the

allotment of districts had been made on the basis of merit and

preference under the statutory framework then prevailing. The

relevant portion of the provisional appointment letter dated

20.11.2024 is quoted herein below for ready reference.

Thus, by the time the Amendment Rules, 2024 came

into force on 19.12.2024, the process initiated under the

"Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" had already

progressed substantially and all material stages of the selection

process, namely, competency test, declaration of result, district

allotment, counselling, document verification and issuance of

provisional appointment letters had already been completed.

The principal contention advanced on behalf of the

petitioners is that after completion of the aforesaid stages, a

substantive and accrued right came into existence in their favour to

be considered for posting in the allotted districts under the

unamended Rules and such right could not subsequently be taken

away by retrospective application of the "Amendment Rules of

2024". It has further been contended that the "Amendment Rules of

2024" neither expressly nor by necessary implication provide for

retrospective operation and therefore, could not be applied to Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

reopen or nullify a process already completed under the earlier

statutory regime.

On the other hand, learned counsel appearing on behalf

of the respondent authorities has contended that the impugned

order dated 21.12.2024 merely operationalizes the "Amendment

Rules of 2024" and that the State Government was competent to

issue fresh implementation guidelines in administrative interest. It

has also been contended that the petitioners had not acquired any

indefeasible right merely on the basis of provisional appointment

letters and that the "Amendment Rules of 2024" contemplated a

phased transition of Local Bodies Teachers into the cadre of

"Exclusive Teachers".

Having considered the rival submissions and materials

on record, this Court finds that the controversy essentially turns

upon the nature and effect of the "Amendment Rules of 2024" and

whether the same were intended to apply retrospectively to

processes already completed under the "Unamended Exclusive

Teachers Rules, 2023".

At this stage, it would be apposite to notice the settled

principle of statutory interpretation that every statute or statutory

rule is presumed to operate prospectively unless the legislature

expressly or by necessary implication gives retrospective effect to Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

the same. The reason behind such principle is that accrued or

vested rights cannot ordinarily be divested by subsequent

amendments unless the statutory language clearly compels such a

consequence.

The "Amendment Rules of 2024" admittedly came into

force on 19.12.2024. However, from a plain reading of the

amendment notification and the substituted provisions, this Court

does not find any express stipulation giving retrospective effect to

the amendment. Equally, no provision has been brought to the

notice of this Court indicating that the State intended to reopen,

cancel or nullify actions already completed under the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023".

Significantly, the respondents themselves have admitted

in their counter affidavit that the provisional appointment letters

issued earlier were cancelled after implementation of the

"Amendment Rules of 2024" and fresh directions were issued

requiring the petitioners to continue in their existing schools.

Therefore, the action of the respondents clearly amounts to giving

retrospective operational effect to the amended provisions in

respect of a process which had already substantially concluded

under the earlier Rules.

Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

This Court is unable to accept the contention of the

respondents that the impugned order is merely an administrative

guideline having no bearing upon accrued rights of the petitioners.

The effect of the impugned action is not merely procedural. By

cancellation of the provisional appointment letters and by directing

the petitioners to continue in their previous schools, the

respondents effectively nullified the district allotments made under

the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and deprived the

petitioners of the benefit flowing from the earlier statutory scheme.

At this juncture, it is equally relevant to note that the

petitioners were not merely aspirants participating in an ongoing

process. Their competency test had concluded, districts had already

been allotted on merit, counselling and verification had been

completed and provisional appointment letters had also been

issued. Therefore, the selection process had crossed the stage of

mere expectation and had ripened into a crystallized entitlement

under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023", subject of

course to completion of consequential formalities.

The submission of the respondents that the petitioners

had acquired no vested right merely because the appointment

letters were provisional also cannot be accepted in the facts of the

present case. While it is true that a candidate does not ordinarily Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

acquire an indefeasible right to appointment merely by

participation in a selection process, the position stands materially

altered where the entire process has been completed under a

particular statutory framework and the State thereafter seeks to

alter essential conditions of appointment by subsequent amendment

without express/implied retrospective operation.

In the present case, district preference and allotment

formed an integral and substantive component of the recruitment

process under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023".

The respondents, after acting upon the said Rules throughout the

process, could not subsequently apply the amended provisions to

deprive the petitioners of the benefits already accrued in their

favour. The Court is also of the considered opinion that

administrative convenience or policy considerations, howsoever

important, cannot by themselves authorize retrospective application

of statutory amendments in absence of express/implied legislative

sanction.

Accordingly, this Court holds that the respondent

authorities were not legally justified in retrospectively applying the

"Amendment Rules of 2024" to the cases of the petitioners after

completion of the competency test, district allotment, counselling,

document verification and issuance of provisional appointment Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

letters under the unamended "Bihar School Exclusive Teachers

Rules, 2023". The action of the respondents in cancelling the

earlier provisional appointment letters and in altering the district

allotment already made under the unamended Rules is therefore

unsustainable in law.

2. Whether the cancellation of the provisional

appointment letters dated 20.11.2024 issued in favour of the

petitioners and the consequential direction compelling them to

continue in their earlier schools vide Memo No.2036 dated

21.12.2024 are arbitrary, violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the

Constitution of India and contrary to the doctrine that the

"rules of the game" cannot be changed after commencement

and substantial completion of the selection process?

Findings on Issue no. (2)

So far as Issue No.2 is concerned, namely, whether the

cancellation of the provisional appointment letters dated

20.11.2024 issued in favour of the petitioners and the consequential

direction compelling them to continue in their earlier schools vide

Memo No.2036 dated 21.12.2024 are arbitrary, violative of Articles

14 and 16 of the Constitution of India and contrary to the settled

principle that the "rules of the game" cannot be changed after

commencement and substantial completion of the selection Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

process, this Court proceeds to examine the legality and effect of

the impugned action in the backdrop of the admitted factual matrix.

From the records of the case, it emerges that the

petitioners participated in the process initiated under the

"Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and the guidelines

issued thereunder. Under the statutory framework prevailing at the

relevant point of time, Local Bodies Teachers were required to

appear in a competency test and while applying for the said

examination, they were required to furnish preferences of districts

where they intended to serve as "Exclusive Teachers".

The materials on record further disclose that the

petitioners participated in the competency test conducted by the

Bihar School Examination Board pursuant to the notification and

advertisement issued for such purpose. It is not disputed by the

respondents that all the petitioners were declared successful in the

competency test and that districts were allotted to most of them on

the basis of merit and district preference.

It further appears from the records that after declaration

of result, the petitioners were called for counselling and

verification of documents by the concerned District Education

Officers. The documents submitted by the petitioners were duly

verified and the authorities thereafter proceeded to issue Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

provisional appointment letters dated 20.11.2024 in favour of most

of the petitioners.

A perusal of the said provisional appointment letters

demonstrates that the appointments were made in accordance with

the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and the

petitioners were to be posted in the districts allotted to them

pursuant to the competency test process. However, before the

petitioners could be finally allotted schools within the allotted

districts, the respondent authorities issued Memo No.2036 dated

21.12.2024 cancelling the earlier provisional appointment letters

and directing the petitioners to continue in the same schools where

they had previously been working as Local Bodies Teachers.

The principal grievance of the petitioners is that the

impugned action completely altered the basis of the recruitment

process after the process had substantially concluded and thereby

deprived the petitioners of the benefit of district allotment secured

by them on the basis of merit under the "Unamended Exclusive

Teachers Rules, 2023".

On the other hand, the respondents have sought to

justify the impugned action by contending that the "Amendment

Rules of 2024" contemplated a revised mechanism for appointment

and posting and that the impugned order was issued to streamline Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

the process, avoid administrative confusion and ensure continuity

in educational activities. The respondents have further contended

that the petitioners had no indefeasible right to insist upon posting

in the allotted districts merely on the basis of provisional

appointment letters.

Having considered the rival submissions, this Court

finds that the impugned action cannot be viewed as a mere

procedural adjustment or administrative arrangement. The

consequence of cancellation of the provisional appointment letters

was that the petitioners were deprived of the districts allotted to

them under the unamended statutory framework and were

compelled to continue in their earlier places of posting despite

successfully participating in a process which specifically

contemplated district preference and district allotment.

The Court is of the considered opinion that district

allotment was not an incidental or insignificant aspect of the

recruitment process. Rather, it constituted a substantive component

of the selection mechanism itself. The petitioners were required to

exercise district preferences at the time of application, districts

were allotted on the basis of merit and such allotment formed part

of the result declared by the Bihar School Examination Board. Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

Therefore, once the respondents permitted the entire

process to proceed under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers

Rules, 2023", conducted the competency test, allotted districts,

completed counselling and verification and thereafter issued

provisional appointment letters, the authorities could not

subsequently alter the essential terms of the process to the

prejudice of the petitioners.

At this stage, the principle that the "rules of the game"

cannot be changed after commencement of the selection process

assumes considerable significance. The said doctrine has

consistently been recognized by the constitutional courts to ensure

fairness, transparency and non-arbitrariness in public recruitment.

Once a recruitment process is initiated under a particular statutory

or procedural framework, candidates who participate in the process

acquire a legitimate expectation that the selection shall be

completed in accordance with the same rules unless the governing

statute itself expressly/impliedly provides otherwise.

In the present case, the petitioners participated in the

process on the clear understanding, flowing from the Rules,

guidelines and advertisement, that district allotment would be made

on the basis of merit and preference. The respondents themselves

acted upon the said framework throughout the process and only Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

after completion of all material stages sought to alter the position

by cancelling the provisional appointment letters.

The Court finds considerable force in the submission

advanced on behalf of the petitioners that the respondents

effectively changed the conditions governing appointment after

substantial completion of the process. Such action strikes at the

root of fairness in public employment and cannot withstand

scrutiny under Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.

Article 14 mandates fairness and non-arbitrariness in

State action, while Article 16 guarantees equality of opportunity in

matters relating to public employment. Any action of the State

which is arbitrary, unreasonable or discriminatory in the matter of

recruitment and appointment would fall foul of the constitutional

mandate.

In the present case, the impugned action not only altered

the basis of appointment after completion of the process but also

deprived the petitioners of the benefit earned by them through

merit in the competency test. The petitioners had participated in the

process with a legitimate expectation that district allotment would

be honoured in terms of the governing Rules and guidelines. The

sudden cancellation of the earlier appointment letters and direction Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

to continue in the previous schools defeated the very basis on

which the petitioners had participated in the process.

The justification sought to be offered by the respondents

on grounds of administrative convenience and continuity of

education also does not persuade this Court to uphold the

impugned action. Administrative convenience, though relevant,

cannot override statutory provisions nor can it justify alteration of

the conditions of selection after completion of the process. Once

the respondents themselves adopted a merit-based district allotment

mechanism under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023", they were bound to carry the process to its logical

conclusion.

This Court also cannot lose sight of the fact that the

respondents themselves admitted in the counter affidavit that the

provisional appointment letters issued earlier stood cancelled after

implementation of the "Amendment Rules of 2024". Thus, the

cancellation was not on account of any defect attributable to the

petitioners, suppression of facts or irregularity in the selection

process, but solely because the State subsequently decided to alter

the mechanism of posting.

The Court is, therefore, of the considered view that the

cancellation of the provisional appointment letters dated Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

20.11.2024 and the consequential direction compelling the

petitioners to continue in their earlier schools vide Memo No.2036

dated 21.12.2024 were arbitrary and unsustainable in law. The

impugned action amounts to changing the rules governing

appointment after commencement and substantial completion of

the selection process and thereby violates the constitutional

guarantees contained under Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution

of India.

3. Whether the petitioners, after qualifying the

competency test and being allotted districts and issued

provisional appointment letters under the Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023, had acquired a vested right

and/or legitimate expectation to be posted in the allotted

districts in accordance with the unamended statutory rules,

which could not be defeated by subsequent executive action or

amendment in the Rules?

Findings on Issue no. (3)

So far as Issue No.3 is concerned, namely, whether the

petitioners, after qualifying the competency test and being allotted

districts and some of them also being issued provisional

appointment letters under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers

Rules, 2023", had acquired a vested right and/or legitimate Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

expectation to be posted in the allotted districts in accordance with

the unamended statutory scheme, which could not be defeated by

subsequent executive action or amendment in the Rules, this Court

proceeds to examine the nature of the rights claimed by the

petitioners in the light of the statutory framework and the admitted

facts on record.

At the outset, it is necessary to notice that the petitioners

participated in the competency test process initiated under the

"Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and the guidelines

issued thereunder. The statutory scheme prevailing at the relevant

point of time specifically contemplated that Local Bodies Teachers,

upon qualifying the competency test, would be allotted districts on

the basis of merit and preference and thereafter be posted as

"Exclusive Teachers" in the allotted districts.

The records further reveal that while submitting their

applications for the competency test, all the petitioners exercised

district preferences in terms of Rule 4 of the unamended Rules and

the guidelines issued by the State Government. It is not disputed by

the respondents that all the petitioners appeared in the competency

test conducted by the Bihar School Examination Board and were

declared successful. It also appears from the result cards issued by

the Bihar School Examination Board that districts were allotted to Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

the petitioners on the basis of merit and preference under the

prevailing Rules.

Thereafter, the petitioners were called for counselling

and verification of documents and the authorities concerned

verified their credentials in accordance with the prescribed

procedure. The materials on record further disclose that provisional

appointment letters dated 20.11.2024 were issued in favour of

several petitioners by the respective District Education Officers of

the allotted districts. However, the writ petition itself specifically

records that some petitioners, namely petitioner nos. 5, 12, 18, 22,

25, 31, 32, 33, 40, 48, 64, 67, 68, 70, 81, 86 and 88, were not

issued provisional appointment letters though they had also

qualified the competency test and had been allotted districts in the

same process.

Thus, factually, the petitioners fall into two categories:

firstly, those who had been issued provisional appointment letters

dated 20.11.2024 and secondly, those who, despite successful

completion of all stages of the process, including the allotment of

districts as per their preferences, had not been issued such

provisional appointment letters. The question, therefore, is whether

both categories of petitioners can claim protection on the basis of

vested right and/or legitimate expectation under the "Unamended Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023". Learned counsel for the

petitioners have also relied on Abhay Kumar Patel & Ors. v. State

of Bihar & Ors. reported in 2026 SCC OnLine SC 20, relevant

paragraph of which are quoted herein for reference:

"37. The distinction drawn by the respondents regarding the "provisional" nature of the merit list is untenable. The list was provisional subject to verification of documents, not subject to a fundamental change in the criteria for placement in the merit list itself. Once a candidate has cleared the written examination and found a place in the merit list based on the announced criteria in line with the extant Rules and the advertisement, a legitimate expectation arises that the selection will be finalized based on the criteria which was advertised at the time of initiation of the recruitment process.

38. The retrospective application of Rule 8(5) creates an anomaly where candidates who competed under one set of rules are now being judged by another, ex post facto. This directly impacts the appellants, who may be pushed down the merit list or ousted entirely by candidates who score lower in the written exam but gain the newly introduced additional marks for contractual service.

39. We also note the argument regarding the General Administration Department's 2018 Memo and 2021 Memo. While these resolutions reflect a policy to grant weightage, they were executive instructions. The recruitment in question was governed by the statutory 2019 Rules, which did not incorporate these resolutions at the time of the 2019 Advertisements. The State cannot rely on executive instructions to override statutory Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

rules that were in force during the initiation of the recruitment process, especially to the detriment of candidates who had no notice of such weightage or age relaxation.

Additionally, when the 2019 Advertisements were issued, there was no whisper about the applicability of the said resolutions; it was only when a challenge was made by the candidates that the State raised the defense, taking a pretext of the aforesaid resolutions, which is an afterthought and not tenable at all."

[Emphasis supplied] So far as the petitioners who had already been issued

provisional appointment letters are concerned, this Court is of the

considered opinion that their claim stands on a much stronger

footing. The issuance of provisional appointment letters after

completion of the competency test, district allotment, counselling

and document verification clearly demonstrates that the authorities

had accepted and acted upon the selection process conducted under

the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023". The provisional

appointment letters themselves recorded that the appointments had

been made under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023" and that district allotment had been made on the basis of

merit and preference. Therefore, in respect of such petitioners, the

process had clearly advanced beyond the stage of a mere

expectation or hope of appointment. The State authorities had Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

already recognized their entitlement under the unamended statutory

framework and had taken concrete steps towards giving effect to

the same.

At the same time, this Court is also of the opinion that even

those petitioners who had not been issued provisional appointment

letters under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023"

cannot be treated as mere aspirants having no enforceable claim

whatsoever. Admittedly, such petitioners had also participated in

the same recruitment process, qualified the competency test,

obtained district allotment and completed counselling and

document verification under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers

Rules, 2023".

The respondents have not disputed that all the petitioners

formed part of the same selection process initiated under the

"Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023". The distinction that

some of the petitioners had not been issued provisional

appointment letters appears to be merely procedural and

administrative in nature and not attributable to any deficiency or

disqualification on their part or based on any intelligible

differentia.

In such circumstances, this Court is of the considered view

that all the petitioners had acquired, at the very least, a legitimate Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

expectation that the process initiated under the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" would be carried to its logical

conclusion in accordance with the same statutory framework. In the

present case, the State itself framed the "Unamended Exclusive

Teachers Rules, 2023", invited applications under the said Rules,

required candidates to furnish district preferences, conducted the

competency test, allotted districts on merit, completed counselling

and verification and in many cases even issued provisional

appointment letters. Thus, the entire conduct of the respondents

unmistakably represented that appointments and postings would be

finalized in terms of the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023".

Consequently, the petitioners legitimately expected that

they would be posted in the allotted districts in accordance with the

statutory scheme under which the process had been initiated and

substantially completed.

The Court is also of the opinion that in the case of those

petitioners who had already received provisional appointment

letters, the right accrued in their favour cannot be brushed aside as

a mere abstract expectation. Although a provisional appointment

may not always confer an indefeasible right to final appointment,

yet where such appointment is preceded by completion of the entire Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

selection process under a particular statutory framework, the State

cannot arbitrarily nullify the same by subsequently altering

essential conditions of appointment through executive action.

The respondents have sought to contend that no vested

right accrued in favour of the petitioners and that the "Amendment

Rules of 2024" merely regulated the transition process of Local

Bodies Teachers into the cadre of Exclusive Teachers. However,

this Court finds that such submission overlooks the crucial fact that

the position qua the petitioners had already stood altered on the

basis of the process undertaken by the State under the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023". The impugned action not only

deprived the petitioners of district allotments secured on merit but

also completely defeated the expectations generated by the

statutory process itself.

The Court is, therefore, of the considered opinion that the

respondents could not, by subsequent executive instructions or by

applying the "Amendment Rules of 2024" retrospectively, defeat

the accrued rights and legitimate expectations arising out of the

"Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023".

Accordingly, this issue is answered in favour of the

petitioners by holding that the petitioners, after qualifying the Patna High Court CWJC No.6127 of 2025 dt.13-05-2026

competency test and being allotted districts under the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023", had acquired a legitimate

expectation to be posted in the allotted districts in accordance with

the unamended statutory scheme and, in the case of those

petitioners who had already been issued provisional appointment

letters, an accrued substantive right had also come into existence in

their favour. Such rights and expectations could not legally be

defeated by subsequent executive action or by retrospective

application of the "Amendment Rules of 2024".

27. Accordingly, in view of the discussions made

hereinabove and for the reasons recorded while answering the

issues framed by this Court, the writ petition deserves to be

allowed.Consequently, the order contained in Memo No.2036 dated

21.12.2024 (Annexure-P/12) issued by the Director, Primary

Education, Bihar, Patna, whereby the provisional appointment

letters issued in favour of the petitioners were cancelled and the

petitioners were directed to continue in their earlier schools, is

hereby quashed to the extent it applies to the present petitioners.

Resultantly the subsequent provisional appointment letters

(Annexure-13 Series) issued in terms of "Amendment Rules of

2024" are also quashed.

28. Further, the consequential action of the respondent

authorities in giving retrospective effect to the "Amendment Rules

of 2024" in respect of the petitioners, despite completion of the

selection process under the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules,

2023", is held to be arbitrary and unsustainable in law.

The respondent authorities are accordingly directed to give

effect to the selection process undertaken under the "Unamended

Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" and to proceed with the

appointments/postings of the petitioners in the districts allotted to

them pursuant to the competency test conducted under the

unamended statutory scheme. The earlier provisional appointment

letters dated 20.11.2024 issued in favour of the petitioners shall

stand restored and acted upon by the concerned authorities. In

respect of those petitioners who were not issued provisional

appointment letters despite having qualified in the same process

and having been allotted districts, the respondent authorities shall

issue consequential appointment/posting orders in accordance with

the "Unamended Exclusive Teachers Rules, 2023" after cancelling

their subsequent provisional appointment letters, if any, have been

issued in terms of "Amendment Rules of 2024".

posting of the petitioners in their respective allotted districts within

a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy
