What is this about?

Educational authorities appealed against a writ order directing approval of a teacher's appointment in a minority school. The post was surplus in the 2022-23 staff fixation but the Secondary Grade Teacher strength was raised to four in 2023-24. The Division Bench found the writ court's direction covered by earlier decisions and dismissed the appeal.

JUDGMENT

¶19

[Judgment of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.]

¶20

Mr.K.Sankar, learned counsel takes notice for the respondent.

¶21

2.Admittedly the School in question is a Standalone Minority Institution and that the Teacher whose appointment was sought to be approved, was appointed on 01.03.2023, in a sanctioned post which was rendered surplus in the staff fixation done for the year 2022- 2023. However considering the fact that the staff fixation was altered in the subsequent year, that is, academic year 2023-2024 and the strength of the Secondary Grade Teacher was fixed as 4, the Writ Court has directed approval of appointment with effect from 01.03.2023.

¶22

3.We therefore, see no reason to interfere with the said order, since the issue is squarely covered by earlier pronouncements of this Court. The Writ Appeal fails and it is accordingly, dismissed. No Costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
