5. This Court, considering the nature of defects i.e., filing of typed/true copy of some pages of annexures annexed with the writ petition, is of the view that same are required to be ignored. Accordingly, defects as pointed out by the office, other than deposit of Court fee, are hereby ignored.

6. So far defect pertaining to deposit of deficit Court Fee is concerned, one Interlocutory Application being I.A. No. 9194 of 2022 has been filed in writ petition being W.P. (S) No. 3437 of 2019 seeking exemption of filing of individual Court Fee on the ground that prayer sought for in the writ petition is having common cause and prayer has been made that if a direction would be issued it will be applicable to all the petitioners. In support of his submission, learned counsel for the petitioners has relied upon order dated 20.09.2008 passed by the Division Bench of this Court in W.P. (S) No. 2928 of 2008 [Vijay Thakur & Ors Vs. The State of Jharkhand & Ors] as also in W.P. (S) No. 2756 of 2016 [Jai Kumar Prasad & Ors Vs. State of Jharkhand & Ors] wherein the objection with respect to filing of individual Court Fee has 203 been over-ruled and it has been held that only one set of Court Fee is required to be filed. In the aforesaid backdrop, prayer has been made that the petitioner may be exempted from filing individual Court Fee and defect pointed out by the office may be ignored.

7. This Court having perused the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court in W.P. (S) No. 2928 of 2008 [Vijay Thakur & Ors Vs. The State of Jharkhand & Ors] and in W.P. (S) No. 2756 of 2016 [Jai Kumar Prasad & Ors Vs. State of Jharkhand & Ors] as also in Tempu Oraon & Ors Vs. The Jharkhand State Housing Board [2019 3 JLJR 581] is of the view that since the issue pertains to common cause of action as the issue is either of regularization or ‘equal pay for equal work’ or minimum of pay-scale, as such is universally applicable to all the writ petitioners. Therefore, this Court is of the view that the nature of writ petitions is common and hence in the instant case also only one Court Fee is required to be filed.

8. Accordingly, Interlocutory Application being I.A. No. 9194 of 2022 stands allowed. 204 The objection raised by the office regarding deposit of Court Fee is hereby ignored.

(S) No. 4404 of 2019; W.P. (S) No. 4613 of 2019; W.P. (S) No. 5164 of 2019 and W.P. (S) No. 5585 of 2019 relying upon order dated 20.09.2008 passed by the Division Bench of this Court in W.P. (S) No. 2928 of 2008 [Vijay Thakur & Ors Vs. The State of Jharkhand & Ors as also in W.P. (S) No. 2756 of 2016 [Jai Kumar Prasad & Ors Vs. State of Jharkhand & Ors] as also the order passed by Tempu Oraon & Ors Vs. The Jharkhand State Housing Board [2019 3 JLJR 581], has submitted that since cause of action is same as such only one set of Court is required to be filed. Therefore, prayer has been made that objection raised by the office pertaining to filing of deficit Court fee may be ignored.

10. This Court, taking into consideration the submission advanced by learned counsel for the parties and order passed by the Division Bench of this Court in W.P. (S) No. 2928 of 2008 and W.P. (S) 205 No. 2756 of 2016, is of view that defect with respect to filing of deficit Court Fee is required to be ignored.

11. Accordingly, defect with respect to filing of deficit Court Fee is ignored.

12. So far defect with respect to filing of Welfare Stamps and Stamp for Vakalatnama as pointed out in W.P.(S) No. 3454 of 2019 is concerned, learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted at Bar that it will be deposited within a week before obtaining certified copy of order passed by this Court.

Office is directed to supply certified copy of order only after deposit of Welfare Stamps and Stamp for Vakalatnama, if already not deposited. Accordingly, defect as pointed out by the office pertaining to Welfare Stamps and Stamp for Vakalatnama is ignored. Prayer made in the writ petitions: 206

14. These writ petitions have been filed, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, for the following reliefs: (a).For direction upon the respondents regularize the services of the petitioners, who have been appointed on the post of para teachers under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, as per their seniority. (b).For direction upon the respondents to appoint the petitioners against the vacant and sanctioned posts of Assistant Teacher, on the basis of their valid appointment on the post of para teachers, on the ground that they have already completed 240 days of continuous service in a calendar year. (c).Further direction upon the respondents to pay salary and other allowances favour of petitioners-para teachers at par with regular Assistant Teachers, since they are discharging similar duty as that of regular Assistant Teachers. (d).For declaration of rules framed vide Notification No. 1632 dated 05.09.2012 (Rules, 2012) invalid/unconstitutional on the ground that even though the petitioners-para teachers who are working since last 5 to 15 years possessing the eligibility criteria as also have passed Teacher 207 Eligibility Test (TET) Examination but no provision has been made for their regularization. Brief facts of the case:

15. The brief facts of the case, as per the pleadings made in the writ petitions, read as under: The petitioners were engaged by different educational committees as para teachers under a scheme known as ‘Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’ (in short ‘SSA’), a flagship programme of the Government of India to universalize the elementary education and the Central Government in partnership with State Governments has implemented this scheme. After the engagement of petitiioners as para teachers they started to discharge their duties. It is the case of the petitioners that even after rendering long length of service no endeavours have been made by the State Government to regularize their service. The State Government although has come out with a Rule under proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India for the purpose to fill up the post of Assistant Teachers but no provision has been made therein for regularization of services of para teachers. In that view of the matter, prayer has been made that the Rule made under proviso to Article 309 208 the Constitution of India formulated vide Notification No. 1632 dated 05.09.2012 may be declared invalid and appropriate direction may be issued for regularization of services of the petitioners at par with Assistant Teachers appointed in regular establishment of State Government extending similar pay-scale on the basis of principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ or in alternative minimum of pay-scale.

16. Learned counsel appearing petitioners has submitted that so far as validity of the Rule notified vide Notification No. 1632 dated

05.09.2012 is concerned, petitioners are not pressing the same since the State Government has come out with a new Rule under the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India notified vide Notification No. 238 dated 14.04.2022. It has been submitted that after coming into effect of the notification no. 238 dated 14.04.2022 known as “Jharkhand Assistant Teacher Service Conditions Rules, 2021” and amendment as contained in notification dated

28.09.2022 [hereinafter referred to as ‘Rules, 2021’], the notification which is the subject matter of writ petition seeking it to be declared invalid has stand 209 superseded, as such the petitioners does not want to press the same.

17. In view of specific submissions advanced by learned counsel for the learned counsel for the petitioner, the Division Bench of this Court, while disposing of the batch of writ petitions [W.P. (S) No. 315 of 2016 and batch cases] framed following issues to be answered, which reads as under: Issues framed by the Court: (I).Whether the writ petitioners, who are working as para teachers on contract basis under a scheme, are entitled for regularization in service? (II).Whether the petitioners-para teachers can be held entitled for pay-scale at par with the regular Assistant teachers on the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’? (III).Whether the writ petitioners who are working as para-teachers, in alternative, are entitled to get minimum of pay-scale?

18. So far issue no. I is concerned, the Co- ordinate Division Bench of this Court held that there cannot be any direction for their regularization. Relevant portion of judgment passed in W.P. (S) No. 315 of 2016 dealing with Issue No. I reads as under: “… According to considered view of this Court there cannot be any direction for their regularization for the following reasons: 210 (a). Admittedly, the writ petitioners have been appointed under a scheme floated by the Central Government in collaboration with State Government, financial burden of which is being borne by the Centre and State at present in the ratio of 60:40. The purpose to launch scheme is to universalize the elementary education across the country and for that purpose para teachers have been decided to be engaged on contract basis to impart education to the children in the age group of 6 to 14 years. Since the basic feature of the scheme is to universalize the elementary education under the scheme under which the writ petitioners have been appointed as para teachers and they have accepted the terms and conditions of appointment as also honorarium which they have started to receive and same is being received by them. Since the writ petitioners have been appointed on contract under a scheme and as such no legal vested right has been conferred to the writ petitioner to stake claim for regularization of their services in view of the position of law having been settled by Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Government of Andhra Pradesh & Ors Vs. K. Brahmanandam & Ors (supra) that there cannot be command by the High Court in exercise of power conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of direction upon the State instrumentalities for their regularization. (b). The writ petitioners also cannot be regularized for the reason that they are not subjected to the recruitment process which is being subjected to the regular Assistant Teachers at the time of fulfilling the permanent vacancies of the cadre rather the petitioners are being appointed at Panchayat Level or Block Level by Village Education Committee and candidate is being called for the local area and as such they are not being subjected to the due recruitment process. Hence, on this ground also they cannot be regularized in service. (c).The parameter has been fixed by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Uma Devi (3) as under paragraph 53 thereof stipulating the condition of regularization and the condition 211 that the appointment must be made against the sanctioned post but it is admitted case that the writ petitioners are not appointed against sanctioned post, rather they are the contractual engagee under a scheme. Once an appointee is appointed under a scheme there is no question of considering them to be appointed against the sanctioned post and thereby they are not fulfilling the criteria fixed by Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Uma Devi (3) (supra). Further reason is that there is non-observance of mandate of Article 16 of the Constitution of India since there is no wide inviting applications to all concerned who are eligible to be considered and if ignoring such candidates the services of the writ petitioners will be regularized the other candidates will be subjected to discrimination and a fair chance to participate in the process of selection. The scheme (SSA) since is under joint collaboration of Centre and State and financial burden is being borne to the extent of 60:40 and in that view of the matter also there cannot be direction by the High Court sitting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for their regularization of their services on the ground of financial constraint as taken by the State. In this regard, the judgment rendered by Hon’ble Apex Court in State of Uttar Pradesh & Another vs. Anand Kumar Yadav & Ors. [(2018) 13 SCC 560] is required to be referred wherein fell for consideration seeking regularization of teachers who are being appointed under SSA has been negated and the version of the High Court has also been affirmed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, relevant paragraph of which is quoted as under: “29. Further difficulty which stares one in the face is the law laid down by this Court on regularisation of contractually appointed persons in public employment. Appointment of Shiksha Mitras was not only contractual, it was not as per qualification prescribed for a teacher nor on designation of teacher nor in pay scale of teachers. Thus, they could not be regularised as teachers. Regularisation could only be of mere 212 irregularity. The exceptions carved out by this Court do not apply to the case of the present nature.” This Court on the basis of the aforesaid reasoning coupled with the judicial pronouncements, as referred above, is of the view that the writ petitioners are not entitled for regularization in service.”

19. On the issue of ‘equal pay for equal work’ as under Issue No. (II), the Division Bench held as under: “24.So far Issue No. (II). - To at least pay the para teachers at par with the regular assistant Teachers on the principle of equal pay for equal work – is concerned, it has been contended on behalf writ petitioners that since petitioners- para teachers are performing similar nature of duties as of regular Assistant teachers and as such they are required to be given pay at par with the regular assistant teachers. There is no doubt that the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ is although not a fundamental right but a constitutional goal but while considering the question of applicability of principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ it has to be considered that the State is having power to classify the employee on the basis of qualification, duties and responsibilities of the posts and the mode of recruitment. If the classification has reasonable nexus with the objective sought to be achieved, efficiency in administration, the State would be justified in prescribing different pay-scales but if the classification does not stand the test of reasonable nexus and the classification is founded on unreal, unreasonable basis it would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. Reference in this regard to the judgment rendered by Hon’ble Apex Court in Mewa Ram Kanojia Vs. All India Institute of Medical Sciences & Ors [(1989) 2 213 SCC 235], wherein at paragraph 5 and 7 it has been held has under:

5. While considering the question of application of principle of “Equal pay for equal work” it has to be borne in mind that it is open to the State to classify employees on the basis of qualifications, duties and responsibilities of the posts concerned. If the classification has reasonable nexus with the objective sought to be achieved, efficiency in the administration, the State would be justified in prescribing different pay scale but if the classification does not stand the test of reasonable nexus and the classification is founded on unreal, and unreasonable basis it would be violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. Equality must be among the equals. Unequal cannot claim equality.

7. Even assuming that the petitioner performs similar duties and functions as those performed by an Audiologist, it is not sufficient to uphold his claim for equal pay. As already observed, in judging the equality of work for the purposes of equal pay, regard must be had not only to the duties and functions but also to the educational qualifications, qualitative difference and the measures of responsibility prescribed for the respective posts. Even if the duties and functions are of similar nature but if the educational qualifications prescribed for the two posts are different and there is difference in measure of responsibilities, the principle of “Equal pay for equal work” would not apply. Under the relevant Rules framed by the Institute qualifications for the two class of posts, namely, Audiologist and Hearing Therapist are as under: Audiologist Qualifications Essential Hearing Therapist Qualifications Essential 1 2

1. A graduate in Science/Arts or Medicines,

1. A graduate in Science or Arts of a from a recognised University. recognised University in India or abroad. 214

2. Master's degree Audiology

2. Trained teacher for the deaf, such as Otolaryngology a recognised Certified Teacher for Deaf (C.T.D… Institution/University. Dip)

3. Three years teaching/research experience in

3. Teaching experience at a recognised the field of Audiology. school for the deaf in India for not less than three years. Desirable

1. Ph.D. in Audiology from a recognised University.

2. Practical experience of working in a Speech and Hearing Rehabilitation Centre.

3. Journalistic or literary activity in relation to Audiology. A perusal of the above chart would show that different educational qualifications are prescribed for the two posts. For an Audiologist a Master’s Degree in Otolaryngology or Audiology is an essential qualification but no such Master’s Degree is prescribed for Hearing Therapist instead a diploma as Certified Teacher for Deaf is the essential qualification for the said post. A comparison of the qualifications prescribed for the two posts clearly indicates that higher qualification is prescribed for the post of Audiologist. There appears to be qualitative difference in the responsibilities of the two posts as an Audiologist possesses higher qualification. If is therefore manifest that on the basis of educational qualifications two posts cannot be equated. Even if the functions and duties of two posts are similar it is open to the State to prescribe different scales of pay on the basis of difference in educational qualifications. Different treatment to persons belonging to the same class is a permissible classification on the basis of eduactional qualifications. Further, the Hon’ble Apex Court in the judgment rendered in Shyam Babu Verma & Ors Vs. Union of India & Ors [(1994) 2 SCC 521] has been pleased to hold that the nature of work may be more or less the same but scale of pay may vary based on academic qualification or experience which 215 justifies classification. The principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ should not be applied in a mechanical or casual manner. Classification made by a body of experts after full study and analysis of the work should not be disturbed except for strong reasons which indicate the classification made to be unreasonable. Reference in this regard be made to paragraph 9, which reads as under: “9. It was then urged on behalf of the petitioners that on principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ they were entitled to pay scale of Rs 330-560. It was pointed out that they have been performing the same nature of work, which was being performed by other Pharmacists Grade-B who have been given the scale of Rs 330-560. The nature of work may be more or less the same but scale of pay may vary based on academic qualification or experience which justifies classification. The principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ should not be applied in a mechanical or casual manner. Classification made by a body of experts after full study and analysis of the work should not be disturbed except for strong reasons which indicate the classification made to be unreasonable. Inequality of the men in different groups excludes applicability of the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ to them. The principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ has been examined in State of M.P. v. Pramod Bhartiya [(1993) 1 SCC 539 : 1993 SCC (L&S) 221 : (1993) 23 ATC 657] by this Court. Before any direction is issued by the Court, the claimants have to establish that there was no reasonable basis to treat them separately in matters of payment of wages or salary. Then only it can be held that there has been a discrimination, within the meaning of Article 14 of the Constitution. Further, at paragraph 22 of the judgment rendered in M.P. Rural Agriculture Extension Officer Assn. Vs. State of M.P. & Anr. [(2004) 4 SCC 646], the Hon’ble Apex Court has pleased to hold that the valid classification based on educational qualification for the purpose of grant of pay has 216 been upheld by the Constitution Bench in the case of State of Mysore & Anr. Vs. P. Narasinga Rao [(1968) 1 SCR 407]. The Hon’ble Apex Court in the judgment rendered in Punjab State Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Limited & Anr. Vs. Balbir Kumar Walia & Ors [(2021) 8 SCC 784], in which, judgment rendered in S.C. Chandra v. State of Jharkhand (2007) 8 SCC 279 has been referred while examining the question of applicability of principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ has held that fixation of pay-scale is a delicate mechanism which requires various considerations including financial capacity, responsibility, educational qualification, mode of appointment, etc. For ready reference, paragraph 28 of the judgment reads as under:

28. This Court in a judgment reported as S.C. Chandra v. State of Jharkhand [S.C. Chandra v. State of Jharkhand, (2007) 8 SCC 279 : (2007) 2 SCC (L&S) 897] was examining the question of equal pay for equal work where the claim of the appellants was to release and pay dearness allowance. Hon’ble Markandey Katju, J. in a separate but concurring judgment held that the “Fixation of pay scale is a delicate mechanism which requires various considerations including financial capacity, responsibility, educational qualification, mode of appointment, etc. …” (SCC p. 290, para 26). The Hon’ble Apex Court in the judgment rendered in State of Punjab & Ors Vs. Jagjit Singh & Ors [(2017) 1 SCC 148], has pleased to hold that the application of the principle of “equal pay for equal work”, in relation to temporary employees (daily-wage employees, ad hoc appointees, employees appointed on casual basis, contractual employees and the like), the sole factor that requires our determination is whether the employees concerned (before this Court) were rendering similar duties and responsibilities as were being discharged by regular employees holding the same/corresponding posts. The learned senior counsel for the petitioners has given much emphasis upon the judgment rendered in State of Punjab & Ors Vs. Jagjit Singh & Ors (supra) in order to 217 fortify his argument that strengthening the claim of application of principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’. But is settled proposition of law that the applicability of the judgment depends upon the facts and circumstances of each and every case and there cannot be any universal application of the judgment rather each judgment is to be decided on the basis of fact of each case, as has been held in the case of Dr. Subramanian Swamy vs. State of Tamil Nadu & Ors reported in (2014) 5 SCC 75, in particular at paragraph 47, which reads as under: “47.It is a settled legal proposition that the ratio of any decision must be understood in the background of the facts of that case and the case is only an authority for what it actually decides, and not what logically follows from it. “The court should not place reliance on decisions without discussing as to how the factual situation fits in with the fact situation of the decision on which reliance is placed.” The factual aspect leading to the case of State of Punjab & Ors Vs. Jagjit Singh & Ors (supra) pertains to extending the benefit of ‘equal pay for equal work’ in favour of the temporary employees. There is no dispute that the temporary employees are always under regular establishment of the State Government as also is the condition of the daily wages employees, ad hoc employees, employees appointed on contractual basis and contractual employees. But by going through the factual aspect involved in the said case, it appears that it was not the case of the contractual engagement under the scheme. The moment appointment is being made under scheme the nature of appointment will depend upon terms and conditions of the scheme and the length of such appointment depends upon its durability. Herein, in the instant case, the writ petitioners admittedly have been appointed on contract basis under SSA on the basis of fixed honorarium to be paid along with enhancement of Rs.500/- on expiry of every three years. Therefore, they admittedly are not under the establishment of 218 the State Government rather are appointed under the scheme and are not engaged against the sanctioned vacancy. In the state of Jharkhand, as has been informed, the number of sanctioned vacancies is much less in number in comparison to that of contract engagee under SSA by way of para teachers, as per definition of para teachers defined under Rule 2(ii) of Rules, 2008. The object of the SSA is to impart education to the children between the age group of 6 to 14 years and to that extent there cannot be an expectation for creation of post to such a large scale since the same will depend upon the financial capacity of one or the other State Government and that is the reason under the scheme provision has been made for appointment on contract basis on honorarium to be paid to one or the other para teachers. The principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ as per the legal position as propounded by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the judgments referred hereinabove depends financial capacity, responsibility, educational qualification, mode of appointment. The contention of the writ petitioner that they are having the educational qualification at par with the regular assistant teachers and also performing responsibility as is being performed by the regular assistant teacher working under the regular establishment of the State Government and as such on these counts they are entitled for ‘equal pay for equal work’. This Court is not in agreement with such submission for the reason that apart from responsibility, educational qualification other condition i.e., financial capacity and mode of appointment are also required to be seen. The issue of financial capacity has been taken into consideration by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of State of Bihar & Ors Vs. Bihar Secondary Teachers Struggle Committee (supra) wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court has declined to pass positive direction for ‘equal pay for equal work’ rather left it open to the State by way of suggestion to take remedial measure at paragraph 107, which reads as under: “107. At the same time, the submission that at the initial stage the Niyojit Teachers are given such emoluments which are lesser than peons and clerks in the same school, is a 219 matter which requires attention. It is true that after having put in two years of service, the emoluments made available to Niyojit Teachers show some improvements but the disparity at the initial stage is more than evident. The State may certainly be entitled to devise a pay structure for Niyojit Teachers and the courts may not interfere in policy matters but, if there is an imbalance of the nature as presented before this Court, the matter raises concern. The teachers must be entitled to decent emoluments. In the chart referred to in para 54(C) above, after two years of service with proposed enhancement as per recommendations of the Three-member Committee the scales payable to Niyojit Teachers would show some increase as against those in respect of peons and clerks. The State may consider raising the scales of Niyojit Teachers at least to the level suggested by the Committee, without insisting on any test or examination advised by the Committee. Those who clear such test or examination, may be given even better scales. This is only a suggestion which may be considered by the State.” Herein, in the instant case, the State has taken plea of having no such financial capacity to sanction the post and absorb them in service. The issue of financial capacity since has been considered by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of referred hereinabove and same having been decided by the Hon’ble Apex Court by refusing to pass any positive direction in favour of the appellants of the said case, therefore, according to our considered view also the issue of financial capacity will be foremost restraintment commanding State instrumentalities for ‘equal pay for equal work’. The mode of appointment is also required to be considered for extending the benefit of ‘equal pay for equal work’. The fact, which is in dispute, is that the appointment of regular assistant teachers, made under the permanent establishment, being a State Cadre is being made by the State authority resorting to Article 16 to the Constitution of India i.e. by way of wide publication of advertisement for the purpose of inviting 220 applications from all eligible candidates and by conducting written examination followed by viva voce, if required. Their recruitments are made at the State/District level. But in the case of para teachers, as would appear from the notification issued in the year 2008 or the subsequent one, the mode of recruitment has been given considering the para teachers to the Village or panchayat or block level and their recruitment is being made by constituting a committee i.e., Village Education Committee/School Management Committee. For ready reference, the relevant provision of rule is being reproduced hereinbelow: 3- fu;kstu%& fu;e 2 …i‰ esa mYysf[kr fo|ky; gsrq loZ f’k{kk vfHk;ku ds rgr~ Hkkjr ljdkj }kjk fu/kkZfjr ekin.M ds vuq:i ftyk esa ftrus lkeqnkf;d f’k{kdksa dh vko’;drk gS] mldk okLrfod vkdyu loZ f’k{kk vfHk;ku ds ftyk dk;Zdkfj.kh lfefr }kjk inksa dks fpfUgr fd;k tk;sxk rFkk bu inksa ij fu;kstu gsrq tyk Lrjh; lfefr }kjk fu;e 2 …II‰ esa mYysf[kr ikjk f’k{kdksa gsrq lhfer izfr;ksfxrk ijh{kk dk vk;kstu fd;k tk;sxkA lekpkj i=ksa esa foKfIr izdkf’kr dj fuEu vg(cid:217)kkZ/kkjh ls vkosnu i= vkeaf=r fd;s tk;saxs%& …d‰ tks fu;e 2 …II‰ esa mYysf[kr >kj[k.M jkT; ds lacaf/kr ftyk esa ikjk f’k{kd ds :i esa 5 …ik¡p‰ o"kksZa dh vVwV lsok fd;s gksa] mlh ftyk ds izdkf’kr foKfIr ds vuq:i inksa ds fo:) lkeqnkf;d f’k{kd ds in ij vkosnu ns ldrs gSaA vFkkZr~ ,d ftyk esa 5 o"kksZa dh vVwV lsok djus okys ikjk f’k{kd nwljs ftyk esa lkeqnkf;d f”k{kd in ds fo:) vkosnu ugha ns ldrs gSaA vVwV lsok dh x.kuk foKfIr izdkf’kr gksusokyh o"kZ dh igyh tqykbZ dks dh tk;sxhA …[k‰ tks ekU;rk izkIr mPprj ek/;fed …+2‰ ijh{kk izek.k i= vFkok mlds led{k ijh{kk m(cid:217)kh.kZ gksA …x‰ tks fu;e 2 …VIII‰ esa mYysf[kr izf”k{k.k izkIr fd;s gkasA …?k‰ ftl iapkax o"kZ esa foKkiu fudkyk tk;sxk] ml o"kZ dh igyh tqykbZ dks mEehnokj dk U;wure vk;q >kj[k.M ljdkj }kjk fu/kkZfjr vk;q lhek ds vUrxZr gksxh rFkk vf/kdre vk;q 55 o’kZ ls T;knk ugha gksxhA ijUrq ,sls lkeqnkf;d f”k{kd dh lsok vf/kdre 60 o’kZ dh gh vk;q rd yh tk;sxhA 4- ijh{kk dk vk;kstu& …d‰ lhfer izfr;ksfxrk ijh{kk dk vk;kstu lacaf/kr ftyk ds ftyk Lrjh; lfefr }kjk mik;qDr mi&fodkl vk;qDr fd;k tk;sxk tks fuEu :is.k xfBr gksxh%& 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- ftyk f”k{kk inkf/kdkjh ftyk f’k{kk v/kh{kd ftyk dY;k.k inkf/kdkjh & lnL; & v/;{k & mik/;{k & lnL; & lnL; lfpo 221 It is, thus, evident that the para teachers are being appointed in a different mode and without resorting to the mandate of Article 16 of the Constitution of India in the sense that there is no wide publication of notice inviting applications as also as would appear from Rule (Ka) of the Rules, 2008 the candidates are to make application for a particular district as also without going through the large competition for the assessment of the merit of one of the other candidates and in that view of the matter, as per the judgment rendered by Hon’ble Apex Court the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ would not be applied. This Court as per the discussions made herein above is of the view that the writ Court sitting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India cannot issue direction upon the State to extend the benefit to the writ petitioners for granting ‘equal pay for equal work’.

20. So far issue no. III, which pertains to - Whether the writ petitioners who are working as para- teachers, in alternative, are entitled to get minimum of pay-scale?, is concerned, the Division Bench held as under: “This Court before entering into the issue requires to refer herein that the writ petitioners have tried to impress upon the Court first for regularization of their services and in case of no regularization then payment on the basis of principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ and if same is being denied then at least to pay the minimum of pay-scale. Thus, the writ petitioners are before this Court for one or other prayer and not for specific prayer. The issue of minimum of pay-scale whether the petitioners are entitled for the same or not is required to be considered on the basis of its principle of its applicability The issue of minimum of pay-scale fell for consideration before the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of 222 State of U.P. & Ors Vs. Putti Lal [(2006) 9 SCC 337]. The daily wages earner in the forest department in the State of Uttar Pradesh approached the High Court regularization of their service, the Division Bench of Allahabad High Court directed the State Government to constitute a committee in order to frame a scheme for regularization. The judgment of the High Court that the daily wages worker shall be paid on the minimum of pay-scale was affirmed by the Hon’ble Apex Court on the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’. It has further been held that the daily wager would be entitled for minimum of pay scale as received by their counter-part in government and would not be entitled for any allowances, increment so long as they continue as daily wagers. Even the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of State of Pubjab Vs. Jagjit Singh (supra) has considered to pay minimum of pay scale to the temporary employees. Thus, the position of law that if the employees are working and are being denied regularization at least minimum of pay scale is to be paid here the fact of the Putti lal case relates to daily wages earner in the forest department of the State of Uttar Pradesh while in the Jagjit Singh case the consideration has been given by Hon’ble Apex Court in a case where employees are working on temporary basis under the establishment of the State Government. As has been referred hereinabove that the judgment is to be tested on the basis of fact governing the case, as per the law settled in the case of Dr. Subramanian Swamy vs. State of Tamil Nadu & Ors (supra) and observing the same this Court is of the view that here the facts of the instant case is not as involved either in the case of Putti Lal Case or Jagjit Singh Case rather here the case is of contractual engagees, who have been appointed as para teachers under a scheme known as SSA and are being paid from the fund generated in collaboration of Centre and State in the ratio of 60:40. The issue of financial capacity, being the foremost criteria, is purely under the domain of the State 223 Government to take such decision depending on its financial capacity. Since the issue of financial capacity is in way as such it will not be proper for the High Court to command the State instrumentalities in exercise of power conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to grant such relief. Since herein the writ petitioner has accepted the offer of appointment, which has been made on contract on payment of honorarium and are being governed with their own rules carved out in exercise of power conferred under proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India, therefore, once having accepted the terms of the contract and rendered their services they cannot turn around and claim parity to get minimum of pay-scale. Since the writ petitioners are the engagee on contract basis depending upon the contract and as such on that count also there cannot be direction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India otherwise the same will amount to re-writing the contract, which is not permission in law. Reference, in this regard be made to the judgment rendered in the case of State of Bihar & Ors. Industrial Corporation (P) Ltd. & Ors [(2003) 11 SCC 465] wherein at paragraph 29, it has been held as under: “29. As is evident, the appellants have sought to exercise their statutory power and not a contractual obligation. Reliance placed in this behalf by Mr Ray on State of Orissa v. Narain Prasad [(1996) 5 SCC 740] is not apposite in the fact situation obtaining herein. The respondents therein were the highest bidders in respect of the various liquor shops in Orissa. Their bids were accepted. They executed agreements in the prescribed form and were issued licences. Each of them had undertaken under the agreement/contract to lift a particular specified quantity of liquor every month. They carried on their business in terms of the licences but failed to lift the agreed minimum guaranteed quantity and further failed to remit the excise duty as provided under 224 Rule 6-A. It was, in that situation, this Court observed: (SCC p. 752, para 21) “A person who enters into certain contractual obligations with his eyes open and works the entire contract, cannot be allowed to turn around, according to this decision, and question the validity of those obligations or the validity of the Rules which constitute terms of contract. The extraordinary jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226, which is of a discretionary nature and is exercised only to advance the interests of justice, cannot certainly be employed in aid of such persons. Neither justice nor equity is in their favour.” Further, the Hon’ble Apex Court judgment rendered in Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, A.P. Sidc Ltd. & Anr. Vs. R. Varaprasad & Ors [(2003) 11 SC 572] at paragraph 12 been held as under: “12. This being the position both the learned Single Judge and the Division Bench of the High Court were not right in taking a contrary view that the benefits available under the Scheme and terminal benefits should be reckoned and calculated as on the date of actual relieving of the employees notwithstanding the cut-off date mentioned by the Corporation and accepted by the employees. An employee even after accepting his application could not be relieved unless the entire amount to which he was entitled under the Scheme was paid. Such payment depended on making funds available by the State Government. All employees who accepted VRS could be relieved at a time or batch by batch depending on availability of funds. Further funds may be made available early or late. If the argument of the respondents that relieving date should be taken as effective date for calculating terminal benefits and financial package under VRS, the dates may be fluctuating depending on availability of funds. Hence it is not possible to accept 225 this argument. When the employees have opted for VRS on their own without any compulsion knowing fully well about the Scheme, guidelines and circulars governing the same, it is not open to them to make any claim contrary to the terms accepted. It is a matter of contract between the Corporation and the employees. It is not for the courts to rewrite the terms of the contract, which were clear to the contracting parties, as indicated in the guidelines and circulars governing them under which Voluntary Retirement Schemes floated.” (Emphasis Supplied) This Court on the basis of discussions made hereinabove is of the view that the writ petitioners are also not entitled for minimum of pay-scale. Issue no. III is answered against the petitioner accordingly.”

21. This Court, after going into the facts of the given cases as also after going through the factual aspect of the case decided in batch cases i.e., W.P. (S) No. 315 of 2016 and analogous cases, is of the considered view that the issue involved in these cases is exactly similar to that of W.P. (S) No. 315 of 2016 and analogous cases. Therefore, the instant cases also deserve to be dismissed.

22. Accordingly, the instant writ petitions stand dismissed in terms of order dated 16.12.2022 passed in W.P.(S) No. 315 of 2016 and analogous cases. 226

23. Consequent upon disposal of the writ petitions, the pending Interlocutory Application(s), if any, stands disposed of. (Sujit Narayan Prasad, J.) (Subhash Chand, J.) Alankar/- A.F.R.
