The writ petitioners as well as contesting respondents have been appointed as Teachers in the same educational institution. Invariably, their appointments were only against the un-aided vacancies. It has already been mentioned that the absorption of unaided teachers against the aided vacancies became the subject matter of extensive litigation and ultimately, a scheme was framed by this Court through its judgment in K.G.High School’s case. Obviously, to give objectivity and clarity to the entire matter, their Lordships directed that the absorption shall be with effect from 01.04.1997. It, obviously, means that the absorption can be only against those vacancies which are available by that time. In accordance with the same, the writ petitioners as well as respondent Nos.6 and 7 were considered. However, the concerned authority cleared the case of respondent Nos.6 and 7 alone for absorption and accordingly, they were absorbed with effect from 01.04.1997. The petitioners, who were left over in the process, approached this Court. It was held that nonconsideration of the cases was contrary to law and appropriate directions were issued. It was on the basis of that, the writ petitioners were absorbed against aided vacancies. However, different dates were given to them. While petitioner No.1 was absorbed with effect from 1.07.1997, petitioner Nos.2 and 3 were absorbed with effect from 16.12.1997.
