Respondents For Petitioners : Ms. Zainab Mustafa Vanak , Advocate For Respondents : Mr. Aditya Tiwari, Panel Lawyer S.B.: Hon'ble Shri Parth Prateem Sahu, Judge Order on Board 12.02.2026 1. Petitioners have filed this writ petition seeking following reliefs:- 10.1 This Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the respondent State to count the services of the petitioners from initial of appointment, for the purpose of 8 / 10 paper seniority as per the circular dated 05.07.2007, thereby granting benefits from initial date of appointment. 10.2 This Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the respondent State to decide the representation of the petitioner in light of the order passed by the Hon’ble Court of this Hon’ble Court in the case of WPS No. 834/2018 Shyam Lal Nayak & Ors. Vs. State of Chhattisgarh order dated 06.01.2025 (Annexure P/6) 10.3 This, Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to grant any other relief(s)/ order(s)/ writ(s) in favor of the petitioner, which the Hon’ble Court deemed fit & just in the facts and circumstances of the case, including awarding of the costs of the petitioners. 2. Learned counsel for petitioners submits that petitioners were appointed as Lower Division Teachers in the years 1981, 1982 and 1983. Subsequently, their services were discontinued and pursuant to the order passed by State Administrative Tribunal, petitioners were again engaged in services. She submits that petitioners have made several requests for counting their services which the petitioners raised prior to the appointment made in the year 1998, however, their claim/request have not been considered. She further submits that similarly situated teachers have approached this Court by filing of a writ petition bearing WPS No. 834 of 2018 which was allowed vide order dated 06.01.2025. Case of petitioners are also covered with the said decision and, therefore, similar relief may be granted. 3. Learned counsel for State submits that appointment orders of petitioners are not enclosed, so as to verify the date of appointment and conditions of appointment. 9 / 10 4. At this stage, learned counsel for petitioners submits that respondent authorities be directed to verify the facts and thereafter, to grant benefit of the period of service as ordered by this Court in Shyam Lal Nayak & Ors. Vs. State of Chhattisgarh in WPS No. 834/2018. 5. In case of Shyam Lal Nayak & Ors. Vs. State of Chhattisgarh in WPS No. 834/2018 following observations have been made in para 5 and 6:- “5. The appointment order dated 30.12.1997, particularly Clause-II reveals that earlier services of the petitioners were considered, and it was stipulated that they would not be entitled to receive the salary for that period. This indicates that the earlier services rendered by the petitioners may be counted for all purposes except salary. Respondent no. 1, however, rejected the representations made by the petitioners without considering Clause-II of the appointment order dated 30.12.1997. Consequently, Annexure P/1 is not sustainable and is hereby quashed. 6. The respondent authorities are directed to consider the claims of the petitioners regarding pensionary benefits counting their earlier services, in accordance with the appointment order dated 30.12.1997.” 6. On due consideration of submission made by learned counsel for the respective parties, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and nature of grievances raised in this writ petition, I find it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition at this stage permitting petitioners to submit fresh representation raising all the grievances as raised in this writ petition before respondent no. 3 and 4 and in the event such representations are submitted, concerned authority shall consider and take decision on the claim of petitioners in the light of order passed in 10 / 10 case of Shyam Lal Nayak (supra), after verifying the facts within a further period of 03 months from the date of receipt of this Order. 7. With the aforesaid observation and direction, this writ petition stands disposed of. Certified copy as per rules. sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu) Judge Alfiza
