This Court while dismissing the writ appeal filed by writ appellants has observed as under:- “The entire controversy revolved around the Circular dated 10.03.2017 issued by the State Government with respect to the grant of Kramonnati Vetanman to the Assistant Teachers. It is necessary to notice here the circular dated 10.03.2017, which reads as under: छीसग शासन सामाय शासन भाग मंालय महानदी भन, नया राय मांक एफ 10-1/2008/1-3 नया रायपुर दनांक 10/03/2017 , शासन के सम  भाग, अ"य#, छीसग राज  म%डल, 'लासपुर सम  भागा"य#, सम  संभागायु( सम  कले)टस+, छीसग षय :- सहायक -श#क. को कमो0 ेनमान दाय कए जाने 'ा'्। संदभ+ :- इस भाग का समसं4यक प5रप दनांक 24.04.2006. -00- इस भाग के संद6भ प5रप 7ारा -श#क संग+ म8 सहायक -श#क, -श#क था :या4याा को सामाय शासन भाग के प5रप कमांक एफ 1-1/1/ेआ /99, दनांक 17.03.1999/19.04.1999 म8 नह श< के अ"यधीन थन कमो0 12 ष+ 'ाद था 7ीय मो0 24 ष+ 'ाद दान कया गया है।  भाग के ?ापन कमांक 216/सी-2802/10//नयम/धार, दनांक 04.08.2010 (  नद@श 32/2010) 7ारा मो0 योजना को संशोध कर -श#क था :या4याा संग+ को थम उBर समयमान 9 ेनमान 10 ष+ 'ाद एं 7ीय उBर समयमान ेनमान 20 ष+ 'ाद देने का नC+य Dलया गया है। 2/ अए उपरो( नC+य के प5र ेEय म8 राFय शासन 7ारा नC+य Dलया गया है क इस भाग के संद6भ प5रप दनांक 24.04.2006 की कं डका-2 म8 " सहायक -श#क" को थम कमो0 10 ष+ 'ाद एं 7ीय मो0 20 ष+ 'ाद दान की जाए। 3/ उपरो( नC+य के सं'ंध म8 यह पH कया जाा है क कमो0 की देया -थ के अनुसार के ल काIपनक ेन नधा+रC कया जाएगा एं कसी कार के ए5रयस+ देय नहJ ह.गे। 4/ यह आदेश  भाग के कKLयूटर कमांक एफ-2017- 01-01093 दनांक 09.02.2017 7ारा दी गई सहम के आधार पर जारी कया गया है। छीसग के राFयपाल के नाम से था आदेशानुसार, (एम.आर.ठोकू र) अर सP, छीसग शासन सामाय शासन भाग 17. From perusal of the contents of the circular dated 10.03.2017, it is quite vivid that the Assistant Teachers, who were in Government service, are to be granted first Kramonnati Vetanman after 10 years of their service and second Kromonnati Vetanman after 20 years of their service, and the teachers and lecturers are to be granted first time-bound pay scale after 10 years of service and second time-bound pay scale after 20 years of service. 18. From Para-8.8 of the writ petition, undisputedly the petitioners have been appointed to the post of Shiksha Karmi Grade- III/Grade-II between the period of 2008 and 2013. It is also relevant to notice here paragraph 8.8 of the writ petition, which reads as follows: “8.8 Between 2008-2013, the Chief Executive Officer of Janpad Panchayat appointed the Petitioners in the post of Assistant Teacher Shikshakarmi Grade- 3/Teacher- Shikshakarmi Grade 2. After 10 completion of 2 years from the date of joining, the Petitionerswho were appointed as Assistant Teachers were Regularization by the Chief Executive Officer of Janpad Panchayat and Teachers were Regularization by the Chief Executive Officer of Zila Panchayat.” 19. When the petitioners in the present writ petition were appointed between 2008 and 2013, they had not completed 10 years of their service on the date when the Circular dated 10.03.2017 was issued. 20. From a bare perusal of the Circular dated 10.03.2017, it is abundantly clear that the said circular does not deal with or extend benefits to the Teachers belonging to the Panchayat Cadre, including Shiksha Karmi. The circular specifically provides for the grant of first-time- bound pay scale and second-time-bound pay scale to regular Government employees, in accordance with the earlier circulars issued by the State Government dated 17.03.1999 and 19.04.1999. 21. In the present case, the petitioners were working as Shiksha Karmi under the Panchayat Department, and it is an undisputed position that Shiksha Karmi were not employees of the State Government until their absorption into the School Education Department pursuant to the policy decision of the State Government dated 30.06.2018. Before such absorption, their appointment, service conditions, and other benefits were governed by the statutory framework applicable to Panchayat employees, and not by the rules or circulars applicable to State Government employees. 22. Therefore, since the petitioners were admittedly the employees of the Panchayat Department before the absorption policy came into force, they cannot claim the status of a 11 Government Servant for the purpose of seeking the benefit of time-bound pay scale or Kramonnati Vetanman under the Circular dated 10.03.2017. Their service conditions were governed by the Chhattisgarh Panchayat Shiksha Karmi (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 2007, the Rules of 2012, or any other rules framed under Section 95 of the Chhattisgarh Panchayat Raj Adhiniyam, 1993, which regulate the service conditions of Panchayat employees. 23. Thus, in view of the clear distinction between State Government employees and Panchayat cadre employees, the petitioners cannot derive any benefit from the Circular dated 10.03.2017 or the earlier circulars dated 17.03.1999/19.04.1999, as those circulars apply solely to Government servants of the State, and not to employees appointed under the Panchayat department. 24. The distinguishable feature of the case of Smt. Sona Sahu (Writ Appeal No. 261/2023) are that she was appointed to the post of Assistant Teacher vide order dated 29.07.2005 and was posted at Government Primary School, Narayanpur. On 01.07.2011, the State Government, Department of Finance and Planning issued a Circular regarding Kramonnati Vetanman to the employees. The Department of Panchayat and Rural Department, Chhattisgarh, Raipur, also issued a Circular dated 02.11.2011 regarding Kramonnati Vetanman after completion of 10 years of service. On 17.05.2013, the department of Panchayat and Rural Development, Chhattisgarh, Raipur issued another circular with respect to the equalisation of pay scale between Government Teachers and Teacher Panchayat after completion of 08 years of their services. Further, vide circular dated 14.11.2014, the earlier circular dated 02.11.2011 was cancelled with effect from 01.05.2013. The petitioner was granted the 12 benefit of Kramonnati Vetanman vide order dated 15.01.2020, but the said order was cancelled vide order dated 29.02.2020 on the ground that the Circular dated 02.11.2011 has already been cancelled with effect from 01.05.2013 vide order dated 14.11.2014, and since the petitioner, who has not completed 10 years of her service in the cadre, was not entitled to Kramonnati Vetanman. While passing the order dated 15.01.2020, the authorities had considered the circulars dated 07.03.2019, 06.04.2019, and granted Kramonnati Vetanman to Sona Sahu with effect from 01.08.2015 and thereafter the concerned authority sou motu re-considered the order dated 15.01.2020 and passed the order on 29.02.2020, by which the benefit granted to Smt. Sona Sahu was cancelled. While considering the matter, the concerned authority had not consider the circular dated 10.03.2017 and 07.03.2019. In the peculiar facts of the case of Smt. Sona Sahu (Writ Appeal No. 261/2023) was granted the benefit of Kramonnati Vetanman, vide order dated 28.02.2024, passed in Writ Appeal No. 261/2023. The challenge of the order dated 28.02.2024 passed in Writ Appeal No. 261/2023, and Review Petition No. 147/2024 is dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide order dated 17.03.2025, passed in SLP (C) Diary No. 58525/2024, by observing that in the peculiar facts of the case of Smt. Sona Sahu, no interference is called for, and accordingly, the SLP(C) was dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. 25. In the present case, the petitioners are appointed to the post of Shiksha Karmi by the Panchayat Department. They were not government employees till 2018, when their services were absorbed by the school education department. Therefore, they cannot claim parity and benefit at par as has been 13 granted to Smt. Sona Sahu (Writ Appeal No. 261/2023). 26. Further, Clauses 4 and 5 of the absorption order dated 30.06.2018 clearly restrict the grant of any benefit to the employees of the Panchayat Department whose services have been absorbed with the school education department for the benefit of arrears prior to 01.07.2018. Clauses 4 and 5 of the absorption order dated read as under: “4/ -श#क (एल.'ी.) संग+ को देय सम  लाभ के Dलये सेा की गCना संDलयन दनाँक 01 जुलाई 2018 से की जायेगी। 5/ दनाँक 01 जुलाई 2018 के पू+ की अध के Dलये कसी भी कार के ए5रयस+ की पाा नहJ होगी।" 27. On 06.04.2019, the State Government School Education Department issued another Circular with respect to the further proceedings under the Rules of 2019, in which it has been provided that: " इस भाग 7ारा जारी संDलयन नद@श कमांक एक दनांक 30.06.2018 की कं डका 5 म8 पH उRेDS है, क दनांक 01.07.2018 के पू+ की अध के Dलए कसी भी कार के ए5रयस+ की पाा नही होगी अथा+ पू+ के ए5रयस+ कू ल -श#ा भाग 7ारा देय नहJ ह.गे। पू+ म8 -श#क (पंPाय/ नगरीय नकाय) संग+ के कम+Pारी, जो +मान म8 -श#क एल.'ी. संग+ के Tप म8 काय+र हU, के संDलयन पू+ की अध के लं' V. का भुगान पाानुसार सं'ंध भाग 7ारा ही कया जायेगा।" 28. The present writ appeal has been filed by the appellants/petitioners seeking the benefit of Kramonnati under the Circular dated 10.03.2017, claiming parity with the case of Smt. Sona Sahu (Writ Appeal No. 261/2023). The petitioners were initially appointed as Shiksha Karmi under the Panchayat Department between 2008 and 2013, and their services were regularized by the order passed by the Chief Executive Officer of the respective Janpad and Zila Panchayats. They continued 14 to serve under the Panchayat department till 2018, when they were absorbed into the School Education Department pursuant to the State Government policy dated 30.06.2018. Their service prior to absorption was governed by the Chhattisgarh Panchayat Shiksha Karmi Rules, 2007, and subsequent rules framed under the Panchayat Raj Adhiniyam, 1993. 29. The Circular dated 10.03.2017, on which the petitioners rely, specifically applies to Assistant Teachers under the School Education Department who have completed 10 years of service. In contrast, the petitioners’ service as Shiksha Karmi under the Panchayat department cannot be treated as equivalent to service under the School Education Department. The factual distinction is material, and the principles of parity require that employees claiming equal treatment must be similarly situated in all material aspects, which is not the case here. 30. This has consistently held in WP(S) No. 208/2012, WP(S) No. 2530/2017, WP(S) No. 10335/2019, WP(S) No. 1021/2021, and WP(S) No. 3369/2021 that the services of the Shiksha Karmi governed by Panchayat rules are not entitled to pay scales or other benefits applicable to teachers of the School Education Department. The learned Single Judge rightly distinguished the case of Smt. Sona Sahu (Writ Appeal No. 261/2023), after independently examining the entitlement of the petitioners, concluded that the Circular dated 10.03.2017 does not apply to their service. 31. The learned Single Judge after adverting and considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, elaborately considered various judgments passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Rohan Vijay Nahar and Others v. The State of Maharashtra and Others 2025 INSC 1296, State of Punjab and Others vs. Jagjit Singh 15 and Others, 2017 (1) SCC 148, Khoday Distiliaries Limited (Now known as Khoday India Limited) and Others vs. Shree Mahadeshwara Shahkara Sakkare Karkhane Limited Kollegal 2019 (4) SCC 376 and Ravi Prakash Sahu vs. State of Chhattisgarh order dated 08-09-2025 passed learned Single Judge of this Court in WPS No. 10335/2019, decided the writ petition filed by the writ appellants/petitioners in which, we do not find perversity or infirmity. The consideration of the learned Single Judge in the impugned order is well merited based on a proper appreciation of the facts and law applicable to the case. 32. Upon perusing the impugned order, we notice that the same has been rendered by the learned Single Judge with cogent and justifiable reasons. In an intra-court appeal, no interference is usually warranted unless palpable infirmities are noticed.
