However, when it comes to inclusion of their names in the Shalarth system, the Deputy Director , Education saw some irregularity in their appointment and therefore, by impugned order refused to enter their names in the Shalarth system.

6.

In Writ Petition No.8966/2021 we have already taken a view that while considering the names of school employees for their inclusion in Shalarth system, the Deputy Director, Education has no authority to reopen the issue of grant of approval to the appointment of school employees in unfavourable manner or otherwise and that he cannot go beyond the parameters prescribed in the Government Resolution dated 7/11/2012. The facts of these Petitions are similar to the facts of the said Petition and therefore, the issue involved in all these Petitions would be covered by the decision rendered by us today in Writ Petition No.8966/2021.

4 25-2-WP-1764-22.doc 7.

The Petitions are therefore allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) for the same reasons as stated in Writ Petition No.8966/2021. We further direct that names of all the Petitioners be included in the Shalarth system, in accordance with law at the earliest. (AMIT BORKAR, J.) (SUNIL B. SHUKRE, J.)
