For Petitioner(s): Mr.K.K.Udayakumar Counsel for the State For Respondent(s): Mr.T.Pon Ramkumar COMMON ORDER (Order of the Court was made by C.V.Karthikeyan J.) The appellants in W.A.(MD)Nos.442 & 616 of 2021 have filed these review applications seeking to review the orders passed by this Court on 08.07.2021 & 17.04.2021. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis __________ Page3 of 5 2.The writ petitioners/R1 herein, who are having B.A., B.Ed., qualification respectively, were appointed as Secondary Grade Teachers. Later, they made a request for granting incentive increment for acquiring M.A., Degree. The said requests were rejected primarily on the ground that in the appointment orders, there is a condition that they should not seek incentive increment for acquiring higher qualification. The said orders were put to challenge in W.P.(MD)No.57 and 1020 of 2019. The said writ petitions came to be allowed by this Court on 28.02.2020 and 11.02.2019. 3. The State filed W.A(MD)Nos.442 & 616 of 2021 and the writ appeals came to be dismissed on 08.07.2011 & 08.04.2021, respectively. Challenging the said order, the present review applications have been filed. 4.According to the learned Counsel for the State, the writ petitioners, who had acquired the qualification of B.A, B.Ed., at the time of appointment as the Secondary Grade Teacher, were appointed with a specific condition that they should not seek incentive increment. In such circumstances, the orders of the Co-ordinate Bench require reconsideration. 5. We are not in agreement with the said contention. The said condition was imposed in the appointment order only to see that having appointed in the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis __________ Page4 of 5 post of Secondary Grade Teacher, the writ petitioners cannot seek incentive increment for having acquired B.Ed., degree. However, the writ petitioners had acquired M.A degree and therefore, this condition imposed in the appointment orders cannot be cited as a legal bar. 6.In view of the reasons, we do not find any reason to review the order passed in WA(MD)Nos.442 and 616 of 2021 dated 08.07.2021 and 17.04.2021, respectively. Hence, these review applications are dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. (C.V.K.,J.)
