CORAM:

S.V. GANGAPURWALA & R. N. LADDHA, JJ.

DATED :

SEPTEMBER 13, 2022 P.C.

1.

The proposal seeking approval to the up-gradation of the Petitioner as Assistant Teacher from part time post to full time post is refused by Respondent No. 2 by referring to the Government Resolution dated 23/6/2017. The Petitioner is upgraded in March 2019. Learned Counsel submits that the person in whose place the petitioner was upgraded has retired and he was from general category.

Be that as it may, as far as the applicability of Government Resolution dated 23/6/2017 is concerned, it has been held by this Court that the same would not apply for the up-gradation of the post when the person is already working on part time basis. Reference can be made to the Orders of this Court dated 9th July, 2021, 25th January, 2021 and 9th March, 2022.

The Writ Petition is disposed of with no order as to costs.
