Harnarayan Yadav vs Chhattisgarh Public Service ... on 1 July, 2019
26. A Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.215/2017 (Harnarayan
Yadav v. Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission and another),
decided on 7-1-2019, has clearly held that Shiksha Karmi is not the
holder of civil post under the State and once they are not holding civil
post under the State, their past services on the post of Shiksha Karmi
cannot be considered as teaching experience in the Department of
School Education. Otherwise, if that contention is accepted that their
past service on the post of Shiksha Karmi, later-on renamed as
Lecturer (Panchayat) is to be considered for computing teaching
experience of 5 years, the necessary corollary would mean that the
petitioners were entitled to be considered for promotion on the post of
Principal immediately on the date of absorption to the post of Lecturer
with effect from 1-7-2018, irrespective of the fact that they have never
held the civil post under the State and the Rules of 2019 came into
force with effect from 5-3-2019 and the employer of the petitioners
now, the State Government, did not have any opportunity to observe
the performance of the petitioners viz., ability, capability, calibre and
suitability on the post of Lecturer (Panchayat) and thereby, the very
purpose of prescribing five years teaching experience on the post of
Lecturer which is the feeder cadre would be defeated and that would
not be in consonance with the Rules of 2019. Thus, the employer /
State Government would be completely denude of its authority and
forced to consider and promote the petitioners without adjudging their
ability, capability, calibre and suitability, as, as on today, the
petitioners do not have five years experience on the post of Lecturer
(LB).
