2.The case of the petitioner school is that the petitioner School appointed different non teaching staff in the petitioner school after obtaining permission from the competent authority.

In W.P.No.32196 of 2019, on the permission granted on 17.07.2018, appointment for the post of Lab Assistant was made on 27.09.2018. In W.P.No.32197 of 2019, on the permission granted on 29.08.2018, appointment for the post of Watchman was made on 03.11.2018. In W.P.No.32200 of 2019, on the permission granted on 29.08.2018, appointment for the post of Scavenger was made on 03.11.2018.
