“3. Accordingly, these appeals are disposed of with a direction to the State to continue the service of the appellants as Teachers Grade III (General), treating them to have been validly selected and appointed with effect from 13.08.2013, the date on which this appeal (by special leave) was filed, for all purposes. 4. We make it clear that this Judgment is passed only in the peculiar facts of this case and the benefit is confined only to the appellants before this Court, since they are the only people who have been continuing litigation before this Court. We also make it clear that in case any such teachers have been pursuing their litigation in the High Court and in case such teachers are continuing on duty, it will be open to the High Court to give a quietus to the litigation by following this Judgment, limiting the benefit only to the appellants before the High Court. No costs.”
