Basic Education Board and others vs. Tripurari Dubey and others), Neutral Citation No. 2025:AHC:67382-DB, submits that all the legal impediments for payment of salary to Officiating Headmaster in the pay scale of Head Master are being removed by aforesaid judgment and he refers following paragraph of the judgment: "20. In view of the discussions and deliberations held above this bunch of special appeal stands disposed of with following observation: (i) we grant liberty to the concerned District Basic Education Officer to examine and determine the factual issue as to whether the petitioner has experience of five years and has actually been continuing as headmaster of the institution; (ii) if the petitioners have continued for long as headmaster the direction to pay the arrears would only extend up to three years prior to filing of the writ petition; (iii) we also make it open for the District Basic Education Officer to ensure at the district level that only senior assistant teachers are allowed to officiate in the educational institution, as far as, it is possible. This would eliminate possibility of heart burning on account of junior assistant teachers functioning as officiating headmaster; (iv) requisite exercise in this regard shall be undertaken within a period of two months and the amount in term of above determination shall be calculated and released without any further loss of time." 4. Learned counsel appearing for respondent nos. 2 to 4 has not disputed the above position of law. 5. In aforesaid circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of in terms of aforesaid judgment passed in Tripurari Dubey (supra).
