JUDGMENT
The petitioners are non-vocational teachers in an Aided
Vocational Higher Secondary School. They are aggrieved by the
non-grant of scale of pay to them at par with teachers in
Government Higher Secondary Schools. By Ext.P1 Government
Order, the government has extended the Kerala Vocational
Higher Secondary Education State Service Rules, 2004 and
Kerala Vocational Higher Secondary Education Subordinate
Service Rules, 2004 and the amendments thereto to the aided
sector also. By Ext.P1, the Director of Vocational Higher
Secondary Education was directed to take further necessary
action in this regard. Accordingly, the Director has passed Ext.P2
proceedings. Now the petitioners seek a direction to the
Government to ratify Ext.P2 and take further action thereupon
to enable the petitioners to get the benefits of Exts.P1 and P2.
Today, the learned Government Pleader has placed before me for
W.P.(C) No.30226/2007 -2-
my perusal a fax copy of an order from the Director of Vocational
Higher Secondary Education to the Assistant Directors of various
Regional offices which reads as follows:
“You are directed to implement the scale of pay of
Rs.9190-15510/- to the GFC Teachers in Aided VHS Schools
under your region, sanctioned vide proceedings referred
above from the month of March 2008 onwards. The arrears
can be honoured after getting clearness from Government.”
2. It is stated that this has been issued pursuant to
Government letter no.5143/SC2/07/Gen. Edn. dated 23.2.2008.
In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a
direction to the 1st respondent to see that the petitioners get the
benefits of above orders, as expeditiously as possible, at any
rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of
this judgment.
