For State/Respondents in all : Mr. Rajeev Bharat, Govt. Advocate the petitions Hon'ble Shri Justice Naresh Kumar Chandravanshi Order On Board 04/07/2025 1. All these writ petitions have been preferred by the petitioners being aggrieved by the illegal, arbitrary and discriminatory action of the respondent State, whereby the seniority of the petitioners were not considered from the initial date of appointment and junior to the petitioners have been promoted on the post of Lecturer on 29.09.2018, as the issue involved in all the cases is similar, therefore, all the aforesaid petitions are heard together and decided by this common order. Leading Case is taken as WPS No.1360/2019. 2. In these petitions the petitioners were appointed on the post of Lower Division Teacher, subsequently, they were promoted to the post of Upper Division Teacher in their respective Districts. Thereafter, they were promoted to the post of Head Master in 10 their respective Division, but petitioners are seeking their seniority/promotion compairing themselves from the teachers of other Districts/Divisions but they are not able to show any rule with respect to promotion of teachers of one District/Division can be compared from the teachers of other Districts/Divisions, whereas, as per reply submitted by the respondent-State, promotions were made upto the level of Head Master as per seniority of the respective District/Division. 3. Since, the petitioners have not brought any rules/regulations before the Court to compare seniority/promotion from other District/Division to get their seniority/promotion from the teachers who were appointed subsequent to them, therefore, no merit is found in the instant petitions, hence, all these petitions are liable to be dismissed and are hereby dismissed at this stage, leaving liberty to the petitioners that if they found any legal ground on their favour then they may raise their grievances by filing fresh petition/s.
