C O M M O N J U D G M E N T [Judgment of the Court was made by DR.G.JAYACHANDRAN, J.] On perusal of the grounds raised in the present writ appeals challenging the impugned orders passed by the learned Single Judge, we are of the view that the present writ appeals do not carry any merit, in view of the fact that the similarly placed Vocational Teachers have been given the benefit of 50% of their part-time service. Hence, being devoid of merit, we are not inclined to entertain these writ appeals.

2. Accordingly, these writ appeals are dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. [G.J., J.] [K.K.R.K., J.] 19.01.2026 NCC :
