Counsel for the Petitioners: SRI M. BHARAT SHAH Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR SERVICES I The Court made the following: ORDER I I I r THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NAMAVARAPU RAJESHWAR RAO ORDER: With the consent of both the parties, this Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage itself.

2. Heard Sri M. Bharat Shah, learned counsel for the petitioners, and learned Government Pleader for Services-I, appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 10. Perused the material on record.

3. The case of the petitioners is that they were initially appointed as Secondary Grade Teachers (SGTs) in 1996 and 1998, and later promoted as School Assistants (SAs) from 01.11.2002 onwards. Although the petitioners were eligible for promotion under the 70:30 quota rule between promotees and direct recruits, the promotion counseling scheduled for 03.09.2002 was postponed without valid reasons to 20.10.2002 and 21.t0.2002, benefiting the direct recruits under the DSC-2002 Notification. This deviation from the prescribed procedure led to a violation of their legitimate seniority rights, resulting in injustice in their career progression, particularly with respect to promotions to the post of Panel Grade Headmaster and allied posts. Despite submitting a representation on 04.06.2012 for rectifying the anomalies in the seniority list and granting notional seniority, n+ action was taken. The petitioners ) also argue that they are being treated as juniors to direct recruits who joined on 17.10.2002, which is contrary to G.O.Ms.No.163, dated 01.12.2001, sanctioning the upgradation of SGT posts to School Assistants. The petitioners further submitted a representation on 26.03.2025, seeking to fix their seniority ahead of direct recruits, citing earlier Court decisions, including W.P.Nos.1059tl2}23, It4Sg/2023, dated 29.08.2024, and W. P. No.34696 /2024, dated 10.t2.2024.

4. Learned Government pleader for Services_I, appearing for the respondents submits that the present Writ petition may be disposed of in terms oF the orders passed by this Court in W.P.Nos.10597/2023, t1459/2023 dated 29.08.2024, and W. P. No.34696 / 2024, dated tO. LZ.IOZ .

5. In view of the above submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties, without going into the merits of the case, this Writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the representation dated 26.03.2025 of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight (g) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. I I I As a sequel, miscellaneous apptications pending, if any, in this Writ Petition, shall stand closed. \ To, SD/. SRI P.
