HOSSAIN, MR. S ROY Advocate for the Respondent : SC, ELEM. EDU, Page No.# 17/18 BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KARDAK ETE ORDER Date : 14.11.2025 Heard Mr. M. H. Laskar, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. P. K. Bora, learned Standing Counsel, Elementary Education Department for respondent Nos. 1 to 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27 & 29, and Ms. A. Phukan, learned State Counsel for respondent Nos. 5, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 & 28. 2. The petitioners, herein, are Hindi Teachers serving in Upper-Primary (M.E) Schools. It is their case that they are eligible to be considered for provincialisation of their services in terms of Section 3(1)(xi) of the Assam Education (Provincialisation of Services of Teachers and Re-organization of Educational Institutions) Act, 2017 (in short, ‘Act of 2017’). During the pendency of this writ petition, it was brought to the notice of this Court that the aforesaid provision, along with certain other provisions of the Act, had been under challenge before a Division Bench of this Court. The Division Bench has upheld the provision of Section 3(1)(xi) of the Act of 2017. In view of the said development, the petitioners now seek a direction for consideration of their cases in terms of the said provision. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners has produced a copy of the judgment and order dated 17.03.2025, passed by this Court in WP(C) No.3597/2021 (Alokesh Chandra Ray & Ors. -vs- State of Assam & Ors.), wherein this Court had disposed of the writ petition by directing the petitioners therein to file their individual representations before the appropriate authority within a time Page No.# 18/18 frame and the authority was directed to consider the representations by taking into account the provision of Section 3(1)(xi) of the Act of 2017. This Court, however, observed that the view taken should not be construed as a mandamus for provincialisation of the services of the petitioners therein. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that a similar direction may be passed in the instant cases as well. 4. Mr. P. K. Bora, learned Standing Counsel, Elementary Education Department, fairly submits that he has no objection to the prayer, in view of the fact that present matter is covered by the earlier order passed by this Court in Alokesh Chandra Ray & Ors. (supra). 5. In view of above, the petitioners are directed to file their individual representations before the Director of Elementary Education, Government of Assam within a period of 15(fifteen) days from today and the said authority, upon receipt of such representations, shall consider the same by taking into account the provision of Section 3(1)(xi) of the Act of 2017 and dispose of the representations within a period of 4 (four) months from the date of receipt of the representations. 6. With the above observations and directions, writ petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
