     This appeal  by Special  leave is\tdirected against the
\njudgment of the Bombay High Court dated 3.9.93 inter alia on
\nthe ground  that the  High Court  committed gross  error  in

\n18.4.90 even  though the  said Chief  Executive Officer\t has
\nsuspended the  operation of  his earlier  order by his order
\ndated 26.10.1990. The short facts necessary for adjudicating
\nthe point  in issue are that respondents 1 to 4 were serving
\nunder  Zilla   Parishad\t as   Primary  School\tTeachers  on

\nschool teachers\t on their respective establishments into the
\nposts of Head Masters in the scale of pay of Rs.145-250 with
\nretrospective effect  from 1st\tApril 1966. It was, however.
\nstated in the said Resolution that the number of posts to be
\nupgraded in each Zilla Parishad should be equal to the total
\nof the\tnumber of primary school teachers upto and inclusive
\nof Standard VII and other primary schools having 200 or more
\npeople on  their rolls\ton 1st\tApril, 1966.  The Resolution
\nalso stipulated\t that the  Zilla Parishads,  the  authorized
\nMunicipalities,\t the   Nagpur  Municipal   Corporation\t and
\nMunicipal Councils in Nagpur Division should be requested to
\nfix the\t number of  posts  of  Head  Masters  on  the  basis
\nindicated above on 1st April, 1966 for the first time and to
\nsubsequently review  it annually on 1st April. The aforesaid

     Respondents nos. 1 to 4 filed Writ Petition No. 1638 of
\n1489 before  the Bombay\t High Court  at Aurangabad  claiming
\nthat they  are entitled\t to the tine scale of pay admissible
\nto’ the post of Head Master with effect from 1.4.1966 on the
\nbasis  of   the\t aforesaid   Government\t  Resolution   dated
\n22.10.1970. While  the matter  was pending  before the\tHigh
\nCourt the  Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Parishad who was
\nthe  competent\t authority  to\t decide\t the   question\t  of
\nupgradation and\t fixing of scale of pay of the upgraded Head
\nMasters considered  the representations filed by respondents
\n1 to  4\t and  by  his  order  dated  18.4.90  directed\tthat
\nrespondents 1  to 4  be granted\t the scale  of pay meant for
\nupgraded Head Masters with effect from 1.4.1966. Pursuant to
\nthe aforesaid  order of\t the  Chief  Executive\tOfficer\t the
\nEducation Officer of Zilla Parishad passed the consequential
\norder of  31.5.1990 fixing the scale of pay of respondents 1
\nto 4 in the upgraded scale. But when the matter was referred
\nto the Accounts Officers of Zilla Parishad for\tverification
\nit was\the who\tpointed out the error error committed by the
\nChief Executive Officer and indicated that the said order is
\ncontrary to  the Government  Resolution dated 22.10.1970. On
\nthe basis  of the  aforesaid notings of the Accounts Officer
\nthe Chief  Executive Officer  suspended the operation of his
\nearlier\t order\t dated\t18.4.1990  and\tthe  orders  of\t the
\nEducation  Officer   dated  31.5.1990  by  his\torder  dated
\n26.10.1990.  In\t the  pending  Writ  proceedings  the  Zilla
\nParishad and  other officers  filed their counter affidavits
\nindicating that\t the respondents  l to 4 could not have been
\ngranted the  higher scale  of pay  in the  grade of upgraded
\nHead Masters  as such  posts were not available, in terms of
\nClauses (i) and (ii) of the Resolution dated 22.10.1970. The
\nHigh Court,  however, by  the impugned\torder  without\teven
\nnoticing the order of the Executive Officer dated 26.10.1990
\nand solely  relying upon  his earlier  order dated 18.4.1990
\nallowed the Writ Application and hence this appeal.\n<\/p>\n
     Mr. Manoj\tSwarup learned\tcounsel\t appearing  for\t the
\nappellant contended  that the  High  Court  committed  gross
\nerror in giving effect to the order of the Executive Officer
\ndated 18.4.1990\t even though  the said\torder had  been kept
\nunder suspension  by the  later order  dated 26.10.1990. The
\nlearned counsel\t further urged\tthat  though  the  Executive
\nOfficer of Zilla Parishad is entitled to upgrade the post of
\nprimary school\tteachers on  their establishment to the post
\nof Head\t Master but such upgradation would be dependent upon
\nthe  number   of  vacancies  available\tafter  applying\t the
\npreconditions mentioned\t in the Resolution dated 22.10.1970.
\nSince the  Chief Executive  Officer  without  focussing\t his
\nattention to that had passed orders in favour of respondents
\n1 to  4 the  error having  been pointed\t out by the Accounts
\nOfficer he  reconsidered the matter and had placed the order
\nunder suspension  and the  High Court without even examining
\nthe question as to whether there was vacancy for upgradation
\nin terms  of Resolution\t dated 22nd  Octobers 1970 committed
\nerror in  directing implementation  of the  earlier order of
\nthe Executive Officer dated 18.4.99.\n<\/p>\n
     The learned  counsel for  the respondent  on the  other
\nhand  contended\t  that\t there\t were\tseveral\t  subsequent
\nclarificatory orders  issued by\t the State  Government which
\nwould make the position clear that respondents are  entitled
\nfor being  promoted to the upgraded post of Head Masters and
\nthe High  Court did  not commit any error in granting relief
\nin question. But on being questioned the learned counsel for
\nthe respondents\t could not  lay his  hand on  any  of  those
\ncirculars nor  was he able to establish that the respondents
\nwere entitled  to be  promoted to  the upgraded post of Head
\nMasters in  accordance with  the Resolution  of\t the  Stated
\nGovernment dated 22.10.1970.\n<\/p>\n
     Having heard  the learned\tcounsel for  the parties  we
\nfind sufficient force in the arguments advanced by Mr. Manoj
\nSwarup, learned\t counsel  for  the  appellants.\t On  a\tbare
\nreading of  the Resolution  dated 22.10.1970  we are  of the
\nopinion that  a Chief  Executive Officer of a Zilla Parishad
\nwould be  authorized to\t upgrade the  post of primary school
\nteacher to  that  of  Head  Master  provided  the  condition
\nprecedent prescribed  in the  said Resolution are satisfied.
\nThe Resolution\tin question does not ipso facto converts the
\npost of\t primary school\t teacher to  that of Head Master. In
\nthis view  of the  matter the  Chief Executive\tOfficer\t was
\nentitled to  consider the  matter afresh and put the earlier
\norder in  abeyance. Non\t consideration of  his\torder  dated
\n26.10.1990 by the High Court and directing implementation of
\nthe earlier  order dated  18.4.1990 vitiates the judgment of
\nthe High Court. In the aforesaid premises the impugned order
\nof the\tHigh Court  cannot be  sustained and  we accordingly
\nquash the  same. Needless  to mention  that since  the Chief
\nExecutive Officer  has merely  suspended the  earlier  order
\ndated 18.4.1990\t and has  not taken  any final decision with
\nregard to   the\t entitlement   of  respondents\t1  to  4  to
\nbe appointed against the upgraded post of Head Master and if
\nso with\t effect\t  of what  date, the  said  Chief  Executive
\nOfficer, appellant  in the  present appeal,  is directed  to
\ntake a\tfinal decision\twithin\tthree months  from the\tdate
\nof   receipt of\t this order  and  communicate  the  same  to
\nrespondents 1 to 4.\n<\/p>\n
     This  appeal   is\taccordingly   allowed.\tBut  in\t the
\ncircumstances there will be no order as to costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
