REASONS AND CONCLUSIONS
41. It is not in dispute that some time prior to 1994 the State Government had constituted Shri. V. V. Chiplunkar Committee for recommending staffing pattern of non teaching employees for the schools, high schools and junior colleges based upon the strength of the students. The staffing pattern prescribed in the Secondary School Code was found to be inappropriate and efficiency of the administration was adversely affected. Shri. V.V. Chiplunkar Committee submitted its report to the *8* wp14716o17 ptlibrarian State Government. It is not in dispute that pursuant to the report of Shri. V.V. Chiplunkar Committee, the State Government issued Government Resolution dated 28th June 1994. In the said report, insofar as the post of part time librarian and full time librarian is concerned, considering the number of students in each school, post of such part time librarian and full time librarian were recommended.
42. In view of the said Government Resolution dated 28th June 1994, the staffing pattern of non teaching employees in the school was governed by the provisions of the Secondary School Code. Clause 4 of the said Government Resolution dated 28 th June 1994 clearly provided that for filling up the posts of non teaching staff in the secondary school, it should be presumed that the existing norms prescribed in the Secondary School Code were changed accordingly. The Director of Education, Maharashtra State, Pune should submit a draft of necessary amendment to Secondary School Code to the Government. New norms prescribed in the Secondary School Code were accordingly changed. The Education Officer (Secondary) of each district was directed to evaluate strength of each school and submit the report as to in which school the post of full time librarian would become available and from which year the post of full time librarian was required to be approved.
57. In our view, the State Government while issuing Government Resolution dated 3rd August 2006 could not have been taken away the benefits granted under the Government Resolution dated 28th June 1994 which were granted pursuant to the acceptance of Shri V. V. Chiplunkar Committee Report. The said Government Resolution dated 3rd August 2006 could not have been issued inconsistent with the provisions of Secondary School Code. In our view, by the said Government Resolution dated 28 th June 1994 there was only up-gradation of approved part time posts of part time librarians to the post of full time librarians and such up-gradation was automatic once the *11* wp14716o17 ptlibrarian strength of students had become 1000 or above.
