JUDGMENT

Dated this the 29^th day of January, 2026 The 1^st petitioner was appointed as UPSA on 01.06.2010 in an additional division vacancy available at the 5^th respondent’s School. The 2^nd petitioner was was promoted as HSA in an additional division vacancy. The grievance of the petitioners is that their appointments were approved only with effect from 01.06.2011. The prior period of service rendered by the petitioners were not approved by the Department so far.

2. The Government, based on G.O.(P)

No.199/2011/G.Edn. dated 01.10.2011, introduced the Teachers’ Package, whereby appointments of the Teachers made against additional division vacancies were directed to be approved with effect from 01.06.2011. Accordingly, the petitioners’ appointments were approved from 01.06.2011.

3. This Court has already declared the law that even though the Manager has not included the bond in terms of G.O(P) No.10/10/G.Edn. dated 12.01.2010, the Department can very well approve the appointment deeming that the Manager has executed the bond. The petitioners have preferred Exts.P3 and P4 Revision Petitions before the 1^st respondent seeking approval of appointment of their prior service, which are pending
