Petitioners have filed this petition seeking following relief (s) :- “10.1 That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct respondents to consider the case of petitioners for grant of Ist Kramonnati Vetanman, from the initial date of appointment and grant all consequential, arrears & other benefit to the petitioners flowing from the grant of 1st Karamonnati. 3 10.2 Any other relief which this Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper under the facts and circumstances of the case may also be passed in favour of the petitioner and the cost of the petition may be awarded in favour of the petitioners.” 2. Learned counsel for petitioners submits that petitioners are entitled for Kramonnati Vetanman in terms of decision in case of Sona Sahu Vs. State of Chhattisgarh, in W.A. No. 261 of 2023, decided on 28.02.2024. 3. Learned State counsel opposes the submission of learned counsel for petitioners and would submit that case of the petitioners is different than that of case of Sona Sahu (Supra). Petitioners were earlier employees of Panchayat Department and thereafter, they were absorbed in Education Department pursuant to policy decision taken by State Government on 30.06.2018. Petitioners were not appointed as regular Assistant Teachers by School Education Department but was appointed by Janpad Panchayat. Coordinate Bench of this Court has considered the issue with regard to grant of Kramonnati Vetanman to such employee in WPS No.11009 of 2025 and other batch of writ petitions and has dismissed those writ petitions. 4. Petitioners upon asking do not dispute the submission of learned State counsel with respect to his initial appointment under Panchayat Department by Janpad Panchayat as also decision in WP(S) No.11009 of 2025. 5. The Coordinate Bench of this Court while considering the batch of writ petitions lead case bearing WPS No. 11009 of 2025 with regard to 4 grant of Kramonnati to petitioners therein, has dismissed the writ petitions and observed thus :- “35. Considering the facts of the case that the petitioners till absorption in pursuance of the policy dated 30.06.2018 are not teachers of the School Education Department, they were shikshakarmis though their designation has been changed as Assistant Teacher (panchayat), Teacher (panchayat) and Lecturer (panchayat) respectively and they are governed by the separate rules framed under the Panchayat Raj Adhiniyam, 1993, therefore, the petitioners are not fulfilling the criteria as laid down in the circular dated 10.03.2017, the bunch of the writ petitions are liable to be dismissed, accordingly, they are dismissed.” 6. Since the facts of the case of petitioners as is identical to the facts of the case in WP(S) No.11009 of 2025 is not disputed, this petition is also dismissed in terms of order passed in WPS No.11009 of 2025 and other connected case decided on 24.11.2025.
