Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that though the petitioners had secured higher marks than the cut-off of 'women general category', however, when their case was not considered they filed Writ-A No. 19390 of 2017, which was decided by order dated 30.11.2018 directing that the petitioners shall be allowed to appear in post training examination within four weeks from the date of presentation of certified copy of the order and thereafter results would be declared if they are found ultimately successful in the examination, and they shall be offered appointment in accordance with law. Against the said order, a special appeal being Special Appeal No. 261 of 2020 (State of U.P. and others v. Vinita Sharma and others) was filed, which was dismissed with the cost, by order dated 31.08.2022. The respondents filed special leave petition before the Apex Court being Special Leave Petition (Civil) Diary No. 26741 of 2023 (The State of Uttar Pradesh & ors. v. Vinita Sharma & ors.), which was also dismissed by order dated 21.08.2023. Thereafter, the State preferred a review petition (Diary No. 45812 of 2023), which was dismissed vide order dated
09.01.2024. 5. After filing of contempt petition being Contempt Application (Civil) No. 3821 of 2023, when the contempt court took cognizance of the matter, the petitioners after completion of the training were given appointment on 20.07.2024, however, they are not being given the departmental increment, arrears of backwages, seniority, other admissible dues from the date from which the assistant teachers, namely, Sarita Rani, Rohitash Singh, Arun Kumar, Narendra Kumar, Abdul Shajid, who were selected and had undergone training with the petitioners for the post of Assistant Teacher, Primary School are being given. The petitioners being similarly placed with the aforementioned Assistant Teachers are also entitled for the same benefit. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that regarding the aforesaid grievance, the petitioners have moved a representation before respondent no. 3 but nothing has been done till date, thus, a direction may be issued to decide the same and all benefits as admissible to the petitioners may be given with interest. 7. On the basis of instructions, learned counsel for respondent nos.
2 & 3 submits that as the matter of the petitioners was pending before this Court, therefore, the grievance was not looked into. He further submits that in case the petitioners move fresh representation, same shall be considered in accordance with law expeditiously. 8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case but without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case set up on behalf of the petitioners, the present writ petition is disposed of by providing that the petitioners may make fresh individual applications/representations, ventilating all their grievances, supported by such documents, as may be advised, before the respondent no.3 - Secretary, Basic Shiksha Parishad, U.P., Prayagraj, within two weeks from today along with a certified copy of this order.
