The Assistant Director Of Elementary ... vs V.Appavoo on 26 November, 2018
5. The issue is no longer res integra, in view of the
decision of the Division Bench in W.A.No.1664 of 2016, dated 29
June, 2018 [The Director of School Education, DPI Campus,
College Road, Chennai-600 006 and two others vs.
V.Dhanapal]. The Division Bench made the legal position clear
that there cannot be a right to claim the third set of incentive
increment for obtaining the M.Phil, qualification after receiving
two sets of increments. We are, therefore, of the view that the
impugned order directing the appellants to sanction third set of
incentive increment to a teacher on attaining the age of
superannuation on 31 March, 2002, is factually and legally
unsustainable.
