It is the case of the petitioners that when<\/p>\n<p>they accepted promotion as Headmasters they were entitled to have notional<\/p>\n<p>fixation of grade. The contention raised is that by a wrong interpretation to<\/p>\n<p>the G.O.(P) No.145\/2006\/Fin, dated 25\/03\/2006 the Government took the<\/p>\n<p>stand that the teachers like the petitioners who were promoted to the post of<\/p>\n<p>Headmasters after receiving the grade were not entitled to get the grade<\/p>\n<p>which was already granted to them. Ext.P1 Circular is also produced to<\/p>\n<p>contend that while fixing their scale after promotion as Headmaster, the<\/p>\n<p>stipulation as contemplated in Ext.P1 was not there.         Ext.P2 is the<\/p>\n<p>Government Order dated 08\/06\/2009 in which the same benefit as given in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 was given to all Primary School Headmasters irrespective of the date<\/p>\n<p>01\/03\/2006. It is the case of the petitioners that when they were given<\/p>\n<p>higher grade, there was no stipulation to refund the same.          In these<\/p>\n<p>circumstances, they have filed Exts.P3 to P5 representations seeking for<\/p>\n<p>appropriate orders from the Government. They seek for a direction that the<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C). No.28389\/2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    -:2:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>stipulations in Circular No.68\/08\/(117)\/Fin, dated 03\/11\/2008 (Ext.P1) may<\/p>\n<p>be relaxed in their favour.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.     There will be a direction to the first respondent to take a<\/p>\n<p>decision on Exts.P3 to P5 after hearing the petitioners within a period of<\/p>\n<p>four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the<\/p>\n<p>meanwhile, the recovery based on Exts.P1 and P2 will be kept in abeyance.<\/p>\n<p>      The writ petition is disposed of as above.
