Common Judgment

R. Suresh Kumar, J.

Since the issue raised in these appeals as well as the other connected writ petitions is one and the same, with the consent of the learned counsel appearing for both sides, these writ appeals as well as the writ petitions were heard together and are disposed of by this common order.

2. The respondents in the writ appeals and the respective petitioners in the writ petitions were the erstwhile teachers who were working either as Secondary Grade Teacher or as Primary School Headmaster before 01.06.1988.

3. Insofar as the benefit that has to be conferred on them i.e. Selection Grade and Special Grade after completion of 10 years and 20 years of service respectively, such kind of benefit had been conferred on them while they were working as Secondary Grade Teacher. Thereafter suppose a teacher has got promoted as a Primary School Headmaster whether such Primary School Headmaster would be entitled to get the financial benefit of conferring the Selection Grade as the case may be or his service would be calculated
