In the year 2011, the Act namely, Assam Venture Educational. Institutions (Provincialisation of Services) Act, 2011 (in short Act of 2011) was enacted providing for provincialisation of the teachers of the venture educational institutions. The Act of 2011 provided for the number of teachers to be provincialised in a given school which again was dependent on the number of classes/sections that a given school may have. The petitioners raise a claim that

had the reorganization of declaring Class-I to V to be L.P. School and Class-VI to VIII to be M.E. Schools have not been made as per the number of classes that the concerned schools may have had, there was a good possibility of the present petitioners to have been provincialised. But because of the reorganization that had taken place, the number of teachers that would have to be provincialsied underwent a change and because of such change the petitioners who otherwise would have been entitled for provincialisation have been left out.

¶96

Subsequently, by the judgment and order dated 23.09.2016 in WP(C) 3190/2012 in WP(C) , the Act of 2011 was declared to be ultra vires. Upon the Act of 2011 been declared to be ultra vires, the subsequent Act namely Assam Education (Provincialisation of Services of Teachers and Reorganization of Educational Institutions) Act, 2017 (in short Act of 2017) was enacted. It is the grievance of the petitioners that even under the Act of 2011, their cases were not considered for provincialisation.

¶97

According to the petitioners as they were disadvantaged because of the reorganization that they had taken place in the year 2011, they have atleast a legal right for their cases to be considered for provincialisation under the Act of 2017.

¶98

We have noticed that the respondent authorities had not made any application of mind on the aforesaid issue raised by the petitioners nor any reasoned order is available on record on the said issue. In the circumstance, we are of the view that the interest of justice will be met on a joint representation being submitted by the writ petitioners raising the aforesaid claim before the Principal Secretary to the Govt. of Assam in the Secondary Education Department. Upon the representation being submitted, the Principal Secretary

shall consider the materials on record and also the circumstance in which the petitioners have claimed to have been disadvantaged as because of the reorganization and upon considering the materials, if the Principal Secretary is of the view any legal right exists in faovur of the petitioners for provincialisation, appropriate orders be passed and to the contrary if no right is found to be in favour of the petitioners, a reasoned order be passed, and thereupon communicate it to the petitioners. For the purpose, two representatives of the petitioners may also be given an opportunity of hearing by the Principal Secretary so as to enable the petitioners to present their cases in the manner they would like to present. Along with the representation a copy of this petition be also submitted before the Principal Secretary.

¶101

The Principal Secretary accordingly is directed to pass a reasoned order within a period of three months from the date of submission of such representation by the petitioners. In doing so, shall take into account all the attending facts and circumstances as indicated above as well as what the petitioners would like to raise in their representation.

¶102

Writ petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
