HC dismisses petition against order on ReT teachers 1/3/2015 11:27:32 PM Early Times Report Srinagar, Jan 3: The J&K High Court has dismissed a petition filed by General Line Teachers, challenging government order giving five years service benefit to the Rehbar-e-Taleem teachers for their seniority and pension. "The plea that as an ReT is not member of the Service in terms of Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules 1956, Jammu and Kashmir Educational ( Subordinate Service Recruitment) Rules, 1979 and Rule 5 of Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Decentralization and recruitment to Non-Gazetted Cadres) Rules 1969, on the date benefit is conferred under impugned Government Order, cannot have his seniority counted from the day of initial engagement is equally devoid of substance," a single bench of the high court comprising Justice Hasnain Massodi said, while dismissing the petition filed by the general line teachers. On June 25 last year, government had passed an order which reads: "Provided that the five years service rendered by Rehbar-e-Taleem teachers before regularization shall count for the purpose of fixing their seniority and counting such service, notionally, for pensioner and other retirement benefits, wherever applicable. The services of Rehbar-e-Taleem teachers shall be transferable after regularization within the district to which they belong." The court said that the benefit of previous service in terms of Government Order No. 469-Edu of 2014 dated 25-06-2014 is only available on regularization. "It needs no emphasis that a ReT on regularization becomes member of the service and benefit available under the impugned order becomes available to him only when he becomes member of the service," the court said. Assuming a situation where a ReT for one or other reason is not regularized, the court said, the benefit under the impugned order would not be available to such a ReT. "The Cabinet Decision and the Order impugned in the petition does not give retrospective promotion to the ReTs over the head of those appointed alongside them as General Line Teachers and thus allow them to steal march over the General Line Teachers. It only gives benefit of service rendered by ReTs on their regularization," the court said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
