The Government Order dated 11th May, 2001 has been considered in the judgment of a learned Single Judge dated 7.8.2009 in Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 39969 of 2009, Principal, Adarsh Inter College, Umari, Bijnor Vs. State of U.P. and others which supports the stand of the state. 5. Shri Sahai, on the other hand, relying on the decision of Smt. Shikha and another Vs. State of U.P. and others, contends that the rules in relation to government service do not apply and therefore the stand of District Inspector of School is erroneous. A procedure provided for government service cannot pressed into the service as the service conditions of class-IV employees of an aided institution are governed by the provisions of regulations framed under the 1921 Act, 6. A procedure provided for government service cannot pressed into the service as the service conditions of class-IV employees of an aided institution are governed by the provisions of regulations framed under the 1921 Act, 6. The contentions raised on behalf of the petitioner cannot be accepted in view of the decision of the Division Bench in Special Appeal No. 1851 of 2009, decided on 3rd December, 2009 whereby the judgment of the learned Single Judge in the case of Principal, Adarsh Inter College, Umari, Bijnor Vs. State of U.P. and others (supra) has been upheld and it has been further found that the decision in the case of Smt. Shikha and another Vs. State of U.P. and others (supra) had been rendered without noticing the relevant Government Order in this regard. In view of the settled legal position as enunciated by the Division Bench noted herein above there is no reason to accept any other proposition as the same holds good, and no decision to the contrary has been brought to the notice of the Court. Even otherwise there is no challenge to the vires or legal impact of the Government Order dated 11.5.2001. Accordingly, no interference is called for with the order dated 29th June, 2007. 7. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed. Petition Dismissed.
