qualification as to the relevant provision. Accordingly, the Petitioner's services were also approved by the Respondent Nos.1 and 2 with effect from 17th April 1993. In the meantime, the Petitioner also obtained the degree of Diploma in Education (“D.Ed.” for short) in 1980 and also the graduation in Arts in the year 1987. The Petitioner on attaining the age of superannuation stood retired in the year 2009. She started receiving the pension. However, the impugned communication dated 14th March 2014 came to be issued. It is pertinent to note that the Respondent Nos.3 and 4 i.e. Principal of the School as well as the Management specifically informed Respondent No.2 vide communication dated 13th March 2013 that when the Petitioner was appointed, TTC was requisite qualification and as such, she was appointed as Assistant Teacher with effect from 1st June 1974. It has further been informed that the Petitioner has subsequently also got a necessary qualification i.e. D.Ed. which is necessary qualification for the post of Assistant Teacher in a primary school. However, it appears that inspite of the said communication addressed by Respondent Nos.3 and 4, the Respondent Nos.1 and 2 reduced the pension payable to the Petitioner and also started recovery from the pension payable to the Petitioner.
