a permanent teacher with effect from the date of his initial appointment and
correction of entries in the service record be also made accordingly.
After hearing learned counsel for the parties and after going through the
materials on record including the impugned order of the High Court, we are of
the view that the relevant questions of fact which need to be considered by the
High Court while deciding the aforesaid writ petition, were not at all adhered
to by the High Court. That being the position, we are of the view that this
impugned order should be set aside and the matter may be remitted back to
the High Court for fresh decision in accordance with law. We keep open the
question whether appointment of the appellant was in consonance with the
statutory requirement and whether the services of the appellant should be
deemed to have been approved in the post as per provisions of Section 22-F of
the Uttar Pradesh Pravidhik Shiksha Adhiniyam, 1962. All these questions are
left open and to be decided by the High Court in accordance with law.
The impugned order of the High Court is thus set aside and
the matter is remitted back to the High Court for fresh decision in accordance
with law and in the light of the observations made herewith. We request the
High Court to decide the aforesaid writ petition within a period of six months
from the date of supply of a copy of of this order to it. The appeal is
accordingly allowed to the extent indicated above with no order as to costs.
Interim order, if any, stands vacated.
