The petitioner was appointed as UPSA in the School under the management of the 6th respondent during various spells namely, from 11.09.2002 to 14.01.2003, 15.01.2003 to 13.03.2003, 14.03.2003 to 28.03.2003, and thereafter, from 18.07.2005 onwards. The appointments for all the aforesaid spells were approved by the education authority. During the academic year 2010-2011, pursuant to the staff fixation orders that were passed for the said year, two posts of LPSAs were reduced. During the said period, there were five posts of UPSAs and four posts of LPSAs in the School. Pursuant to the staff fixation order, an LPSA was adjusted against the post of UPSA held by the petitioner and the services of the petitioner was terminated with effect from 15.07.2010. This was on the basis that the LPSA in question was senior to the petitioner in the common seniority list of LPSAs and UPSAs that was maintained in the School. It is not in dispute that despite Ext.P8 order dated 28.12.2011 of the Assistant Educational Officer terminating the services of the petitioner, the petitioner continued in the School. In the writ petition, Ext.P8 order of the Assistant Educational Officer is impugned along with Ext.P9
