Mr. Amish Tewari, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Rajeev Singh Bisht, Additional CSC, for the State. Mr. Pankaj Miglani, Advocate, for the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission. (2) Petitioner no. 1 and 2 are serving as Assistant Teacher, LT Grade, while petitioner no. 3 is serving as Lecturer in different government institutions. Petitioners are desirous of applying for the post of Principal, Government Inter College, regarding which selection process is currently underway.

Petitioners do not meet the requirement regarding experience on the post of Assistant Teacher, LT Grade/Lecturer, therefore they are not in a position to apply for the post of Principal, which has been advertised by Public Service Commission. (3) Petitioners contend that as they served as Assistant Teacher in different Government Junior High Schools for sufficiently long period of time, therefore, the services rendered in Government Junior High Schools may be treated as services rendered in the cadre of Assistant Teacher, LT Grade/Lecturer. In this writ petition, petitioners have sought the following reliefs: 2025:UHC:9030 “I. a writ, order or direction in the nature mandamus directing the respondents to count the teaching experience of the petitioner as assistant teacher Junior high school for participating in the promotional excise for the post of Principal which is being conducted by way of limited departmental examination pursuant to the advertisement dated 18.9.2025.
