Judgment :- The above Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner on behalf of the Tamil Nadu Higher Secondary Vocational (Part-Time) Teachers' Association praying to issue a Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus to call for the records pertaining to the order passed by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.834 Education, Science and Technology Department dated 23.9.1994, quash the same in so far as it affect adversely the members of the petitioner association whose benefits conferred earlier are sought to be denied, and to direct the respondents to continue the benefits to the beneficiaries of the appointment without any break, with all consequential benefits. 2. The case of the petitioner is that the Government originally, sanctioned 1324 posts in G.O.Ms.No.1719 Education Department dated 14.9.1978; that already there were in existence 3000 posts and in all there were 4324 posts of Vocational Instructors, out of which they sanctioned, 800 posts in G.O.Ms.No.712 Education Department dated 28.5.1990 and 587 posts, in G.O.Ms.No.967 Education Department dated 16.10.1992; that while giving appointment to those posts, they directed to consider first Double Part time teachers and then Single Part time teachers which resulted in filing application before the Tamil Nadu Administrative Tribunal by seniors who were working as Single Part time teachers; that when the strength increased, the Single Part time Teachers were conferred as Double Part time Teachers in some cases and where there was a new opening of a section they directly appointed persons as Double Part time Teacher; that because of this situation, a senior though he had been in service for years together was denied the seniority as well as the appointment on the ground that he was only Single Part Time Teacher. 3. 3. The further case of the petitioner is that the Tamil Nadu Administrative Tribunal has passed an order directing the Government to fill up the above sanctioned posts drawing a common seniority list in the concerned subject irrespective of the appointment either as Single Part Time Teachers or Double Part time Teachers so that the grievance of the seniors could be eliminated; that before the delivery of the said judgment, most of the senior most Single Part Time Teachers have been brought into regular time scale and only few people were left out; that equally, some of the junior Double Part Time Teachers also got chance as per the earlier orders of the Government; that therefore, the Government cancelled the earlier order and directed to bring all the teachers again to consolidated pay till final orders were passed consolidating the situation; that now, the Government has passed the impugned order directing to fill up the posts according to seniority, in the concerned subject, further directing to bring them to the consolidated pay with a direction not to recover the amount already paid on time scale, as a result of which, the persons already enjoyed the benefit of time scale were deprived the same for about one year; that they have also lost their annual increments which accrued to them from 1990 in respect of one batch and from 1992 in respect of another batch. In such circumstances, the petitioner association has come forward to file this Writ Petition praying for the relief extracted supra. 4.
