The State Of Bihar vs The Bihar Secondary Teachers Struggle ... on 10 May, 2019
31. The fifth question as to whether the judgment of the
Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Bihar Secondary Teachers
Struggle Committee & Ors. (supra) is a settler on the point
that the cadre of the Assistant Teacher is dying cadre, I am of
the view that the State Government having taken a plea before
the Hon'ble Supreme Court that the cadre of the Assistant
Teacher is a dying cadre and the same has been accepted by the
Hon'ble Apex Court, it has to be taken as a settler on the point
that the cadre of the Assistant Teacher is a dying cadre but the
question as to whether it applies to the case of the present
petitioners, I am of the view that it would not apply to the facts
of the present case, therefore, these petitioners would not be
affected. These petitioners have been appointed as Assistant
Teachers by virtue of the direction of this Court which has

attained finality. The judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court
is in a case in which the issue of dying cadre was raised by
way of a submission only to contest the claim of equal pay for
equal work by Niyojit Shikshak.
