JUDGMENT : G.R. SWAMINATHAN, J. 1. The Government of Tamil Nadu is on appeal, questioning the common order dated 24 February 2014, allowing W.P.(MD).Nos.2368 to 2370 of 2014 and dated 06 January 2014 in W.P.(MD).No.19571 to 19573 of 2013, 2. The case of the writ petitioners is that there were appointed as Secondary Grade Teachers on various dates, which appointments were also duly approved. The writ petitioners were called upon to undergo Child Psychology Training. Subsequently, when they were granted Selection Grade on completion of 10 years of service, authorities took the stand that this period of 10 years will be counted only from the date, when they completed the Child Psychology Training and not from the date of their initial appointment. The writ petitioners represented to the Authorities, but the Chief Educational Officer, Trichy, passed the impugned orders of rejection. 3. Aggrieved by the same, the said writ petitions were filed. The learned single Judge, at the very outset, observed that the issue involved in the writ petitions was no longer res integra. He referred to the earlier order dated 06 January 2004 made in W.P. (MD)No.19571 to 19573 of 2013 and allowed the writ petitions. It is against the said order that the present writ appeals have been preferred. We have gone through the earlier orders passed both by the learned single Judge as well as the Division Bench. 4. When the appointments of the writ petitioners were approved, the confirmation of Selection Grade will have to be given on completion of 10 years there from. Merely because the Child Psychology Training course was undergone by them later, the completion of 10 years of service cannot be correspondingly deferred. This has been the consistent view taken by this Court on the earlier occasions. We see no reason to differ from the same. We find no merit in these writ appeals. Hence, these writ appeals stand dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed…
