Rajat Baran Pahari v. State Of West Bengal & ORS

24.06.2022 Court No.13 Item No.69 AP WPA 15761 of 2019 Rajat Baran Pahari Vs.

The State of West Bengal and Ors.

Mr. Manaranjan Jana ... For the Petitioner.

Ms. Chaitali Bhattacharya Mr. Kartik Chandra Kapas ... For the State.

The petitioner was selected as pass graduate teacher in West Karanji Vidyasagar High School in the year 2001.

The school was subsequently upgraded to a Higher Secondary School in 2005. The petitioner had a Post Graduate Degree in Bengali prior to his joining the school.

The District Inspector of Schools (SE), Purba Medinipur by reference to Clause 3 of G.O. No.155SE(B) dated 13th July 1999, as also by reference to G.O. No.593-SE(B) dated 27th November 2007, and Section 14(2) of the West Bengal Schools (Control of Expenditure) Act, 2005, has held that the petitioner is not entitled to a higher pay-scale.

This Court does not find any infirmity with the impugned order, since the petitioner at the time of joining, despite having post graduate degree, consciously joined in a pass graduate post.

In that view of the matter, no relief can be granted to the petitioner.

Hence, the writ petition fails and hereby dismissed.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.
