(Per Goda Raghuram, J.)

The common issue presented in the several writ petitions, (though the pleadings are differently structured), is the validity of order of the State Government in (1) G.O.Rt.No.376 Education (SE: PS-1) Department dated 18-06-2009 and in (2) G.O.Ms.No. 91 Education (SE: P.S.-1) Department dated 06-08-2009. In some writ petitions, an additional relief is sought viz., invalidation of the order of the Secretary, School Education in proceedings No. 8293/B5/2009 dated 07-09-2009 (W.P. Nos. 22744 of 2009 and 288 of 2010). The principal attack is however against G.O.Ms.No.91, Education dated 06.08.2009.
