The grievance of the petitioners is that though they are\n             fulfilling all the eligibility criteria to have the Graduate Trained Pay\n             Scale but the same is not being given to them and they are\n             compelled to work in the Matric Trained Pay Scale, whereas the\n             teachers junior to them have been granted the benefits of Graduate\n             Trained Pay Scale and in this way, they are being discriminated by\n             the respondents.\n\n      3.                   The case, as set out by the petitioners, is that the\n             petitioner no. 1 who has been appointed in the Matric Trained Scale\n             in the year 1987, is having educational qualification of M.A., B.Ed.\n             whereas, the petitioner no. 2 was appointed in the Matric Trained\n             Scale as an Assistant Teacher in the year 1987 and is also M.A., B.Ed..\n             According to the petitioners, they fulfill all the eligibility criteria for\n             promoting them to the Graduate Trained Scale but still they are not\n             being promoted to the said Graduate Trained Scale. The petitioners\n             allege that several persons junior to them were given Graduate\n             Trained Scale from the date of passing of their training and those\n             persons subsequently have been promoted to the post of Head\n             Master and are presently functioning as a Head Master. For\n             example, the names of two persons namely Haridwar Mahto and\n             Geeta Kumari, have been given and has been stated that they\n             were appointed in Matric Trained Pay Scale but subsequently, they\n             have been granted Graduate Trained Scale in the year 2002 w.e.f.\n                                      2                       W.P.(S) No. 1548 of 2003\n\n\n\n     01.04.1997<\/pre>\n<p>. It   is further alleged that though           the    petitioners<br \/>\n     represented to all the authorities concerned including the Director,<br \/>\n     Primary Education, but no action has been taken by any authority till<br \/>\n     date for redressing the grievance of the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.               The claim and allegations of the petitioners have been<br \/>\n     controverted by the District Superintendent of Education, Garhwa<br \/>\n     (Respondent No. 5) by filing a counter affidavit stating interalia that<br \/>\n     for the purpose of upgrading for promotion, the gradation list for<br \/>\n     Science and Arts Graduate Trained Teachers has been prepared<br \/>\n     separately as per Bihar\/ Jharkhand Taken Over Elementary Schools&#8217;<br \/>\n     Teachers&#8217; Promotion Rule, 1993 and consequent to the Rules,<br \/>\n     separate seniority list of Science Graduate and Arts Graduate<br \/>\n     Trained Teachers have been prepared. It is stated in the counter<br \/>\n     affidavit that those two teachers i.e. Haridwar Mahto and Geeta<br \/>\n     Kumari who have been named by the petitioners in the writ petition,<br \/>\n     are no doubt junior to the petitioners but actually they are in the list<br \/>\n     of Science Graduates in the Gradation List and they have been<br \/>\n     promoted to Graduate Trained Scale on availability of Science<br \/>\n     Category Teachers whereas, the writ petitioners are in the Gradation<br \/>\n     list of Arts Category Teachers and, therefore, they could not be<br \/>\n     sanctioned Graduate Trained Scale.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.               The stand of the respondents in not providing Graduate<br \/>\n     Trained Scale to the petitioners falls directly under the teeth of the<br \/>\n     Judgment of Division Bench of the Patna High Court in the case of<br \/>\n     Naresh Jha and others Vs. The State of Bihar and others reported in<br \/>\n     1994(2) PLJR 348 wherein, the same Bihar\/ Jharkhand Taken Over<br \/>\n     Elementary Schools&#8217; Teachers&#8217; Promotion Rule, 1993 was under<br \/>\n     consideration and it was held ultimately in paragraph-11 of the said<br \/>\n     Judgment that the classification between Arts and Science teachers<br \/>\n     in the absence of duly constituted separate cadres for them is<br \/>\n     arbitrary and, therefore, the petitioners cannot be denied their right<br \/>\n     of promotion to the Graduate Trained Scale i.e. Grade-4 merely on<br \/>\n     the basis of their not possessing the qualification of Graduation in<br \/>\n     Science (emphasis is mine).\n<\/p>\n<p>6.               Following the aforesaid Judgment of the Division Bench<br \/>\n     of the Patna High Court in the case of Naresh Jha and others<br \/>\n     (Supra), a learned Single Bench of this Court in W.P.(S) No. 494 of<br \/>\n     2003 [Sheo Nandan Ram and others Vs. The State of Jharkhand and<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                              3                      W.P.(S) No. 1548 of 2003<\/span><\/p>\n<p>           others] , while dealing with a similar question, as in the present writ<br \/>\n           petition, also held that since the Order of the Division Bench of the<br \/>\n           Patna High Court in the case of Naresh Jha and others (Supra) has<br \/>\n           attained finality. It is also held that it is difficult to visualize that two<br \/>\n           sets of persons belonging to the same cadre at the stage of<br \/>\n           promotion to Grades 2 &amp; 3 (senior scale and selection scale of<br \/>\n           Matric Trained Teachers) will form different cadres at Intermediate<br \/>\n           stage and then again get amalgamated into one cadre at the later<br \/>\n           stages of promotion to Grade 6, 7 and 8. The promotion Rules can&#8217;t<br \/>\n           be said to have created a separate cadre for the Arts and Science<br \/>\n           teachers and thus, the classification for the purposes of promotion<br \/>\n           on the assumption that separate cadres have been created, is<br \/>\n           erroneous and unsustainable and, accordingly, as per the decision<br \/>\n           of the Division Bench, learned Single Judge also directed to prepare<br \/>\n           a joint gradation list and promote senior teachers in accordance<br \/>\n           with law.\n<\/p>\n<p>      7.                In the present case also, as it appears that the<br \/>\n           respondents are denying the right of promotion to the petitioners<br \/>\n           only on the ground that they are Arts Trained Graduate whereas, the<br \/>\n           persons though Junior to the petitioners, have been given the<br \/>\n           Graduate Trained Scale since they are the Science Trained<br \/>\n           Graduate and their Gradation List are separate. This action of the<br \/>\n           respondents are wholly illegal and arbitrary and cannot be<br \/>\n           sustained.\n<\/p>\n<p>      8.                Accordingly, this writ petition is allowed. The respondents<br \/>\n           are hereby directed to treat the Science Trained Graduate and Arts<br \/>\n           Trained Graduate at par for giving promotion to Graduate Trained<br \/>\n           Scale and they are further directed to give the same and similar<br \/>\n           benefits of promotion to the petitioners as has been given to the<br \/>\n           Science Graduates, in accordance with law. Consequential orders<br \/>\n           must be passed by the concerned respondents within a period of four<br \/>\n           weeks from the date of receipt\/ production of a copy of this order.\n<\/p>\n<p>      9.                With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ<br \/>\n           petition is allowed. No costs.\n<\/p>\n<pre>RC\/                                                 (Amareshwar Sahay, J.)\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jharkhand High Court Manu Suri &amp; Anr vs State Of Jharkhand &amp; Ors on 28 October, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI W.P.(S) No. 1548 of 2003 &#8230; 1.
