COMMON ORDER

Since the issue raised in all these writ petitions is oneand the same, they are being disposed of by the following commonorder.

2. The above batch of writ petitions have been filedquestioning the orders passed by the educational authoritiesdirecting deployment of teachers found surplus in the respectiveschools based on G.O.Ms.No.525 Education Department, dated29.12.1997.

3. The facts leading to filing the above writ petitions are as follows:

(a) The writ petitioners are either the respective schoolmanagements or the deployed teachers, who question the

orders passed by the authorities. On 29.12.1997, theGovernment had issued orders in G.O.Ms.No.525 SchoolEducation, prescribing revised norms for sanctioning therequired number of posts in the Elementary / Middle /High and Higher Secondary Schools for purposes of aid.The writ petitions are mostly related to Elementary andMiddle Schools, to which the norms for sanction ofrequired number of posts of teachers are common. As perthe aforesaid Government Order, the teacher-pupil ratio,1:40 was required to be followed with a minimum of 2secondary grade teachers upto the strength of 80. TheGovernment Order further provided that for everyadditional strength of 40 students, one post of secondarygrade teacher will be sanctioned. The order furtherdirected that the third post will be sanctioned when thestudent strength reaches 100 and the fourth andsubsequent post will be sanctioned for every addition of40 students.

(b) The Government Order and the directions issued by theGovernment stipulate that the strength of the studentswill be examined by taking into account the averageattendance for the month of August. It was furtherprovided that in the event of there being excessiveteachers, the surplus teachers will be deployed to theneighbouring schools.

(c) The aforesaid Government Order was questioned in a batchof writ petitions. By order dated 06.10.1998, this Courtupheld the validity of the above Government Order. WritAppeals (W.A.No.1768 of 1998 etc., batch) filed againstthe said orders were also dismissed by order dated09.11.2000.

4. It is brought to our notice that the Government Orderin G.O.Ms.525 was directed to take effect from 01.06.1998. Onaccount of the pendency of the writ petitions and thereafter thewrit appeals, no action could be taken to implement the GovernmentOrder till 09.11.2000. After the dismissal of the writ appeals,action was taken to implement the Government Order. Afterascertaining the average attendance of students in August, 2001,orders were issued by the educational authorities deploying theexcess teachers wherever found, to the neighbouring schools. Thoseorders were challenged in this batch of writ petitions.

5. While disposing of the writ appeals, the earlierDivision Bench has taken note of a circular issued by theeducational authorities and observed that schools will be entitledto a third teacher when the strength is 81. The said circular issued in 1998 was plainly inconsistent with the Government Orderand the said circular was rescinded even in December, 1998.However, the Division Bench, while rendering judgment in the writappeals, took note of the said circular and observed that schoolswith student strength of more than 80 would be entitled to a thirdteacher when the strength is 81 and thereafter one teacher forevery additional 40 students. In this regard, a clarificationpetition, viz., WAMP.No.5667 of 2003 was filed by the Government,was heard by a Division Bench, which ultimately passed orders on12.05.2004, clarifying the order passed in the writ appeals to theeffect that the third teacher will be sanctioned only when thestudent strength is 101 and thereafter the school will be entitledto one teacher for every addition of 40 students, viz., 140, 180,220, etc.

6. It is the case of the petitioners that the educationalauthorities had implemented the Government Order strictly fromAugust 2001 by taking into account the provisions contained in thesaid Government Order and they did not take note of the circularissued by the authorities in February, 1998, which was rescindedeven in December, 1998.

7. The contention of the writ petitioners in the batch ofwrit petitions is twofold.

(a) Firstly, they contend that since the Division Benchjudgment in the writ appeals had referred to theentitlement of a third teacher when the studentstrength is 81, which had been corrected in theclarification petition in 2003 only, the impugnedorders passed in 2001 or 2002 should be set asideand the authorities should be directed to perform are-exercise by testing the student strength as ofAugust 2005 and pass fresh orders.

(b) Secondly, having regard to the fact that there hadbeen change of circumstances by efflux of time asthere would have been retirement etc., of theexisting teachers who continued on account of stayorders, it is just and necessary that a re-exerciseis to be done so that the student and the teachersstrength as on August 2005 be taken into accountbefore passing appropriate orders by theauthorities. It is further contended that by doingthis exercise there will be no prejudice caused toanybody.

8. So far as the first contention is concerned, theobservation by the Division Bench judgment to the effect that the

schools will be entitled to a third teacher when the studentstrength is 81 was based on a circular which was rescinded evenin 02.12.1998 and having regard to the fact that the authoritieshad implemented only the Government Order strictly according toits terms from August, 2001, there is no necessity to perform theexercise again. Further, the clarification petition and theorder passed did not affect the impugned orders, since theimpugned orders were passed strictly on the basis of theGovernment Orders, according to which the schools are entitled toa third teacher only when the student strength is 101 andadditional teacher for every additional strength of 40.

9. With regard to second contention, even though theG.O.Ms.No.525 came into effect from 01.06.1998, it could not beimplemented on account of pendency of writ petitions and writappeals till November, 2000. After the dismissal of the writappeals, the Government Order had been implemented by taking intoaccount the strength of students in August 2001. It is perfectlyvalid, since the Government Order has been upheld and the same hadbeen implemented in accordance with law and therefore no exceptioncan be taken by the petitioners. The fact that there has beenincrease in the strength of students subsequently or number ofteachers has dwindled by retirement, etc., cannot be a ground toinvalidate the impugned order. It is also the submission of theGovernment that in the event of any particular order beingincorrect and inconsistent with the Government Order inG.O.Ms.No.525, they had been corrected by appropriate orders. Asthe Government Order has been upheld finally and that theGovernment have implemented the Government Order strictly inaccordance with its terms, the impugned orders cannot beinvalidated and the respondents need not be directed to re-do theexercise.

10. In all the writ petitions, the petitioners, viz.,School Managements and the Teachers are having no grievanceregarding the order of the Government in G.O.Ms.No.525 EducationalDepartment dated 29.12.1997. According to them, while ascertainingthe Teacher-Pupil strength, the educational authorities have failedto consider various aspects. As rightly pointed out by the learnedAdditional Advocate General, the earlier Division Bench,particularly in the clarificatory order dated 12.05.2004, explainedthat as per G.O.Ms.No.525, the Teacher -Pupil ratio is 1 : 40 andonly when the pupil strength is 80, second teacher post will besanctioned and likewise, when the strength is 100, 3[rd] teacher postwill be sanctioned and the 4[th] teacher post at 140, 5[th] teacher postat 180 and so on. We have also verified the impugned orders passedby the various educational authorities and we are satisfied thatthey were passed strictly on the basis of the Government Order,according to which the schools are entitled to third teacher only when the student strength is 101 and an additional teacher for theadditional strength of 40 students.

11. The other contention that the Educational Authoritiesfailed to consider the change of circumstances by efflux of time,viz., retirement, voluntary retirement, death, etc., is concerned,we are of the view that after verification, if student strengthis found increased, it is always open to the school authorities tohighlight the same to the concerned educational authority /authorities by placing acceptable materials. If any suchrepresentation is made supported by acceptable evidence, it is forthe educational authority / authorities to consider and passappropriate orders, modifying their earlier decision.

12. Under these circumstances, we do not find any validground for interference in the orders of the respondents. We aresatisfied that all the orders have been passed based onG.O.Ms.No.525 Educational Department dated 29.12.1997, which hasbeen upheld by the Division Bench of this Court. As said earlier,in the case of retirement, voluntary retirement or death of ateacher and if there is any increase in pupils strength, the schoolmanagement is free to represent the same to the educationalauthority and if any such representation is made, the concernededucational authority is duty bound to pass appropriate orders,after inspection and verification.

13. It is brought to our notice that in all the writpetitions, by virtue of interim orders granted by this Court, thedeployed teachers were allowed to continue in the same schools.Considering the interest of the students studying in the respectiveinstitutions, we permit all the teachers concerned to continue ifthey so desire in the respective schools till the end of April,2006. It is made clear that the respondents are free to implementtheir orders from 01.05.2006 onwards.

With the above observations, the writ petitions aredismissed. No costs. Connected miscellaneous petitions are alsodismissed.
