In all these decisions, the Court took the view that since the State Government had accepted the Chiplunkar Committee recommendations and treated the report as being part of Secondary and Higher Secondary School Code, the State could not have refused the benefits of the recommendations to the petitioners, who are treated as part-time librarians even after the strength of students increased beyond 1000. This Court also negatived the objections of the State Government regarding delay in approaching the Court in seeking retrospective effect of the August 2006 GR.

That date was to be considered for notional pay fixation and other retiral and pensionary benefits. It is important to note that although back wages were not granted, all the Petitioners were made entitled to pensionary benefits computed from the date of their initial appointments as part-time librarians.
