Assistant and Secondary Grade Teacher made by the School Management and some of the writ petitions are filed seeking mandamus, directing the educational authorities to give approval to the appointment made by the School Management to the post of B.T. Assistant and Secondary Grade Teacher. Therefore, all the writ petitions are heard together and common order is being passed.

2. According to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, the writ petitioners were appointed in the respective posts as B.T. Assistant/Secondary Grade Teacher in the aided institution run by private management and the management submitted proposal to the educational authorities for approval of the appointment made by the School management to the said posts. However, the educational authorities rejected the proposal by relying upon the G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 issued by the School Education department. Challenging the rejection order passed by the educational authorities, the petitioners have preferred the instant writ petitions before this Court.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the Government has passed G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 based on the interim order passed by the Division Bench of this Court at Madurai in W.A.(MD) No.76 of 2019 etc. cases (Batch), dated 9.4.2019 and thereafter, in the said batch of cases in W.A.(MD) No.76 of 2019 the Division Bench of this Court by judgment, dated 31.3.2021 issued comprehensive directions to the respondent department and also this Court observed that till the rules are framed, directions issued by the Division Bench of this Court in the aforesaid order shall be strictly followed by both the State Government and the Educational Institutions.

2019 and subsequently, the subject matter of the G.O.Ms.No.165 challenged in the Writ Appeals in W.A.(MD) No.76 of 2019, etc. Batch cases and judgment also passed in the aforesaid Batch cases. However, the instant writ petitioners are not covered under the G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 or the final order passed by the Division Bench of this Court in the aforesaid Batch cases for the reason that in the instant writ petitions, B.T. Assistants and Secondary Grade Teachers are appointed prior to the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner also drew the attention of this Court to the Clause (t) of paragraph 95 of the aforesaid judgment wherein the Division Bench of this Court has held as under: (t) This exercise shall be completed on or before 31st July, 2021, so that the identification of excess staff and follow up action as indicated in the compendium of schedule hereinabove can be undertaken and be followed strictly''.

4. Heard the rival submissions of the parties and perused the materials available on record.

5. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 as well as the judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court in a Batch of Writ Appeals in W.A.(MD) No.76 of 2019 are prospective in nature. In the present cases, the appointment was made prior to the Government order passed in G.O.Ms.No.165 issued by School Education Department, dated 17.9.2019. Therefore, there is no legal impediment for approving the appointment made by the School Management to the aforesaid posts in the light of the existing Rules thereunder.

6. The learned Additional Advocate General submitted that as against the judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court in a Batch of Writ Appeals in W.A.(MD) No.76 of 2019, etc., the State Government has preferred an appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.15702 of 2021. It is further submitted that the Hon'ble Supreme Court stayed the judgment only in respect of Clause (i) of paragraph 95 of the said judgment. Further, it is also brought to the notice of this Court that the Division Bench in paragraph 6 of the said judgment, has observed that, ''no fresh appointment even in the sanctioned vacancy shall be made by any school which are managed by the Corporate Management.

7. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that in the instant case, no appointment was made by the School Management pursuant to the judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court. All the appointments were made prior to the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 and the proposals were also sent to the educational authorities prior to the said G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019. Thus, G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 and the Division Bench judgment will not bind over the appointment made by the School Management in the instant writ petitions.

Therefore, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners seeks to quash the impugned orders and consequently, direct the educational authorities to accord approval to the appointment to the post of B.T. Assistant and Secondary Grade Teacher, made by the School Management in the instant writ petitions.

8. According to the learned Additional Advocate General, the State Government has preferred an appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.15702 of 2021 as against the judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court in the Batch of Writ Appeals in W.A.(MD) No.76 of 2019, etc. and obtained stay in sofar as Clause (i) of paragraph 95 of the said judgment. Except the aforesaid clause (i) of paragraph 95, there was no stay in respect of remaining portion of the judgment. It is agreed by the learned Additional Advocate General that the writ petitioners were appointed prior to the G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 and therefore, it can be considered and an appropriate order may be passed.

9. On perusal of the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in the aforesaid Batch of cases and also the G.O.Ms.No.165 issued by the School Education Department, dated 17.9.2019, both the judgment as well as G.O.Ms.No.165 are prospective in nature. The appointments made by the School Management in the instant writ petitions are prior to the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.165 dated

17.9.2019 and proposals for the said appointment were also forwarded to the educational authorities prior to the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019. Therefore, there is no legal impediments for the respondents to accord approval to the appointment made by the School Management in the instant writ petitions.

10. Having regard to the rival submissions of the parties, taking note of the judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court in a Batch of Writ Appeals in W.A.(MD) No.76 of 2019, etc., G.O.Ms.No.165 issued by the School Education department, dated 17.9.2019 will not prohibit the educational authorities to approve the appointment made by the School Management in the instant writ petitions since the proposals for approval of appointment made by the School Management were forwarded to the educational authorities prior to the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019. Therefore, this Court is of the view that the respondent department without considering the G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 in proper perspective and passed the impugned order rejecting the proposals submitted by the School Management. Therefore, the impugned orders passed by the respondent department are liable to be quashed.

11. Accordingly, the impugned orders passed by the respondent department in the aforesaid writ petitions are quashed and remitted to the Chief Educational Officers/District Educational Officers concerned, to consider and pass an order of approval of the appointment made by the School management, provided the said proposals satisfies all the norms prescribed for such appointments and as per the Rules, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order. It is made clear that those who are appointed to the post of B.T. Assistant and Secondary Grade Teacher prior to the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 and also, the proposals for approval of the such appointments were forwarded to the educational authorities prior to the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.165 dated 17.9.2019 alone are entitled to the relief granted hereinabove.

12. With the above directions, all the writ petitions stand allowed. No costs. Connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
