4.
In the present case, the Petitioner is absorbed in another school, meaning thereby the Petitioner was not responsible for recognition of the School.

In such a scenario though under Rule 25-A, the Petitioner would not be entitled for the salary during the interregnum, however said service can be counted for the purpose of continuity.
6.
The Management shall submit the proposal to the Education Department for grant of continuity. The authority shall consider the said proposal and if he convinced that the appointment of the Petitioner in 2001 was on 100% grant-in-aid post that the School was de-recognized on 11th June 2007 and that the Petitioner was absorbed on 1st December 2009, then shall grant continuity in service to the Petitioner. 7.
With these observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. (MADHAV J. JAMDAR, J.) (S.V. GANGAPURWALA, J.) 2/2
