Mr. Vitthal G. Salgare, Advocate for the Petitioner Mr. B. B. Bhise, AGP for Respondent - State Mr. S. R. Dheple, Advocate for Respondents No.3 and 4 ....… [CORAM : NITIN B. SURYAWANSHI, & ABASAHEB D. SHINDE, J. J.] DATE : 23 rd SEPTEMBER, 2026 ORDER : 1. Indisputably, the issue raised in this Writ Petition is squarely covered by the decision of this Court in 14421 of 2019 (Motiram Tulshiram Mahor V/s The State of Maharashtra and Others). In the said order, this Court has observed as follows: “4. The Petitioner certainly, in view of the Government Resolution dated 4th October, 1983, would be a deemed trained teacher, if he is possessing S. S. C. qualification and was appointed prior to 1972. However, considering the fact that the petitioner has approached this Court too late, we are not inclined to grant him the actual benefit for the past period. The said pay scale of trained teacher shall be notionally calculated in case of the petitioner. The Petitioner’s pensionary benefits shall be calculated considering the 2026:BHC-AUG:43349-DB {2} wp8786-25.doc petitioner as deemed trained teacher.” 2. For the reasons recorded in the said order, the Writ Petition is allowed. The respondents, after verifying that the Petitioner is SSC passed and was appointed prior to 1972, shall consider him as deemed trained teacher and the pay scale shall be notionally calculated till the date of his retirement. The Respondents shall pay the retiral benefits to the petitioner, as is applicable to the deemed trained teachers and the pension amount shall be calculated considering the petitioner as a deemed trained teacher and the said pensionary benefits be accorded to the petitioner, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
