Bench of this Court at Jabalpur in Tribal Welfare Teachers Association Vs. State
of Madhya Pradesh &Ors, (WP No. 10444/2020, decided on 01.3.2024). It has
been held that such Teachers who were appointed and absorbed in Panchayats
before coming under direct fold of the State as per Rules of 2018, will not be
covered under Pension Rules of 1976. In the said case, challenge to the circular
No. F 1-16/2009/20-1dated 05.5.2011 issued by the School Education Department
in name of the Governor, was rejected, whereby all Adhyapaks absorbed in
Adhyapak Cadre as per Rules 2008 were covered under contributory Scheme of
National Pension Scheme (NPS). Therefore, the said coverage will continue and
has not been affected for the Teachers initially appointed and absorbed under the
Panchayats.
