    Hon'ble Shri Justice Pravin S. PatilView PDF

    Summary of WP/1166/2021 The Nagpur Bench High Court allowed the writ petition filed by primary school teachers seeking graduate pay scale benefits. The court held that a prior Division Bench judgment in WP No.5563/2022 had declared clause (3) of the 13th October 2016 Government Resolution discriminatory and violative of Article 14, as it arbitrarily excluded teachers with general graduation degrees from graduate pay scale benefits despite performing identical duties. The court quashed the Divisional Commissioner's rejection order and directed the Zilla Parishad to issue revised orders granting Trained Graduate Teacher promotion to petitioners with graduation degrees. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
