Hon’ble Ashwani Kumar Mishra, J.—The Governor of Uttar Pradesh in exercise of powers conferred by the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India has made rules regulating recruitment and conditions of service of Assistant Teachers (Trained Graduates Grade), in Government Secondary Schools, known as the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Educational (Trained Graduates Grade) Service Rules, 1983 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Rules of 1983’). The Rules of 1983, as they originally stood, contemplated a cadre of Trained Graduate Teachers, both for men and women at regional level. Posts in the cadre were to be filled by direct recruitment and also by promotion through the U.P. Public Service Commission (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Commission’). The Commission was to invite applications for direct recruitment and subject the candidates having eligibility in terms of the rule to interview, and accordingly prepare a select list. The Rules of 1983 have been amended from time to time, which have a material bearing on the controversy raised in this bunch of writ petitions. A
