Legal Reasoning
2.14. Even though this Court in the case of Sarat Chandra Parida held accordingly and benefit of pension was also extended in favour of the Petitioner-Sarat Chandra Parida, but by taking a plea that Petitioners are not in receipt of their salary under the Direct Payment System, the claim to get the benefit of pension and pensionary benefits in the light of the order passed in the case of Sarat Chandra Parida was rejected. 2.15. It is also contended that prior to introduction of Grant-in-aid Order, 1994, this Court in the case of Patras Soreng Vs. State of Odisha & Ors. (1993 (II) OLR 272) in Para 3, while interpreting Rule 3 of the 1981 Rules held as follows:- //135// that rule permits “3. Employees of aided educational institutions are entitled to retirement benefits as provided in the Orissa Aided Educational Institutions Employees' Retirement Benefit Rules, 1981 (hereinafter 'the Rules'). Rule 3 of the Rules, however, states that the same shall apply. Inter alia to the teaching staff, as was the petitioner, of such schools which come under the "direct payment to system". The proviso the Government to any other the Rules to apply educational institution or category of institutions as may be specified by general or special order. It is the requirement of the school to be under the "direct payment system" which has stood in the way of the in getting the benefit under the Rules petitioner inasmuch as the case of opp. parties 1 and 2, as already noted, is that the school in question does not come under the direct payment system. It is because of this that the vires of Rule 3 have been assailed in this petition, is discriminatory. As, however, we are satisfied that despite what has been stated in rule by the petitioner is entitled to the benefits under the Rules, we are not addressing ourselves on the question of validity of Rule 3 on the ground that it is discriminatory.” inter alia, on the ground that it 2.16. It is also contended that by taking a plea that Petitioners are not coming within the definition of Direct Payment System, State Govt. cannot deprive the Petitioners to get the benefit of pension in terms of the 1981 Rules as pension is not a bounty and the action of the State is also discriminatory and not sustainable in the eye of law. In support of the aforesaid submission, learned counsels appearing for the Petitioners relied on the decisions of the //136// Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of D.S. Nakara & Ors. Vs. Union of India (1983) 1 SCC 305. Hon’ble Apex Court in Para 2, 12.4, 20, 26 and 28 to 32 has held as follows:- “2. Do pensioners entitled to receive superannuation or retiring pension under Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972 (“1972 Rules”, for short) form a class as a relevant whole? consideration for eligibility when a revised formula for the date of retirement a Is computation of pension is ushered in and made effective from a specified date? Would differential to pensioners related treatment the date of retirement qua the revised formula for computation of pension attract Article 14 of the Constitution and the to element of discrimination to be declared unconstitutional as being violative of Article 14? These and the related questions debated in this group of liable petitions call for an answer in the backdrop of a welfare State and bearing in mind that pension is a socio-economic justice measure providing relief when advancing age gradually but impairs capacity to stand on one's own feet. irrevocably XXX XXX XXX 12(4). The principle underlying the guarantee of Article 14 is not that the same rules of law should be applicable to all persons within the Indian territory or that the same remedies should be made available to them irrespective of differences of circumstances. It only means that all persons similarly circumstanced shall be treated alike both in privileges conferred and liabilities imposed. Equal laws would have to be applied to all in the same situation, and there should be no discrimination between one person and another if as regards the subject-matter of the legislation their position is substantially the same. //137// XXX XXX XXX 20. The antequated notion of pension being a bounty, a gratuitous payment depending upon the sweet will or grace of the employer not claimable as a right and, therefore, no right to pension can be enforced through Court has been swept under the carpet by the decision of the Constitution Bench in Deokinandan Prasad v. State of Bihar [(1971) 2 SCC 330 : AIR 1971 SC 1409 : 1971 Supp SCR 634 : (1971) 1 LLJ 557] wherein this Court authoritatively ruled that pension is a right and the payment of it does not depend upon the discretion of the Government but is governed by the rules and a government servant coming within those rules is entitled to claim pension. It was further held that the grant of pension does not depend upon anyone's discretion. It is only for the purpose of quantifying the amount having regard to service and other allied matters that it may be necessary for the authority to pass an order to that effect but the right to receive pension flows to the officer not because of any

Mishra, AGA PRESENT: THE HON’BLE JUSTICE BIRAJA PRASANNA SATAPATHY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Hearing: 13.10.2023 and Date of Judgment: 12.01.2024 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biraja Prasanna Satapathy, J. //120// Since on the face of the order passed by this Court in the case of Sarat Chandra Parida Vs. State of Odisha & Ors. 2015 (II) ILR-CUT-94, the claim of the Petitioners to get the benefit of pension and other pensionary benefits in terms of the provisions contained under Odisha Aided Educational Institutions’ Employees’ Retirement Benefit Rules, 1981 (in short 1981 Rules) has been rejected and in some of the cases order passed by this Court allowing the benefit in the light of the order passed in the case of Sarat Chandra Parida when was remitted back by the learned Appellate Court in various Writ Appeals, all the matters were heard analogously and disposed of by the present common order. 2. This Court in the case of Sarat Chandra Parida while dealing with the provisions contained under Rule 3 of 1981 Rules held as follows in Para 8 of the order:- “8. For application of 1981 Rules to the staff of recognized non-government colleges, Rule-3 thereof requires that the college concerned must have come under the "direct payment system This apart there is no other requirement. The plain language of Rule-3 makes it clear that irrespective of the nature of grant- in- aid given by the Government to various staff of a college, once the college has required status of one coming under the direct payment system then even if a staff is not getting full salary from the Government //121// under the direct payment system or getting only some aid in whatever form including 'block grant’, he will be covered under the Rules & be entitled to pensionary benefits under the Rules taking into account the amount of aid he receives from the Government as salary & the period of his qualifying service. It is apparent from a plain reading of Rule-3 that the expression, "come under the direct payment system" qualifies the institution (college/ school) concerned & not a particular staff of the institution. Had it been the intention of the legislature that the expression would qualify the 'staff', then it could have simply said that the staff of aided institutions who are/were receiving their salary under the direct payment system will be covered under the 1981 Rules.” 2.1. The order passed by this Court in the case of Sarat Chandra Parida though was challenged by the State before the Hon’ble Apex Court in SLP (C) No. 761 of 2016, but the SLP was dismissed on 19.01.2016. After dismissal of the matter before the Hon’ble Apex Court, the order passed in the case of Sarat Chandra Parida was implemented by the Govt. vide letter No. 24680 dtd.30.08.2016. 2.2. It is not disputed that Sarat Chandra Parida was in receipt of block grant under Grant-in-aid Order, 2008 and in terms of the order passed by this Court, Petitioner-Sarat Chandra Parida was extended with the benefit of pension and other pensionary benefits in terms of the provisions contained under 1981 Rules. But by taking a plea that //122// Petitioners herein since are not covered under Direct Payment System at any stage during the tenure of their services, they are not covered under the provisions of 1981 Rules and accordingly not eligible to get the benefit of pension and pensionary benefits. Rule 3 of 1981 Rules reads as follows:- “3. Application of the rules - These rules shall apply to the teaching staff and non-teaching staff of all recognized non-Government Colleges, High Schools, Senior Basic Schools and M.E. Schools which come the direct payment system and all non- under Government Primary Schools including Sanskrit Tols and Junior Basic Schools fully aided by Government in Education and Youth Services Department directly or through Panchayat Samitis constituted under the Odisha Panchayat Samiti Act, 1959 or through a Notified Area Council or Municipality constituted under the Odisha Municipality constituted under the Odisha Municipal Act, 1950 : Provided that Government may, be general or special order as may be issued in that behalf, specify and other educational institution or category of institutions and the staff working therein to whom the rules shall apply.” 2.3. Learned counsels appearing for the Petitioners contended that as provided under Rule 3 of the 1981 Rules, the Rule shall apply to the teaching and non-teaching staff of all recognized Non-Govt. Colleges, High Schools, Senior Basic Schools and M.E. Schools, which come under the //123// Direct Payment System. It is contended that Petitioners in all these cases are continuing as teaching and non-teaching staff of recognized Non-Govt. Colleges, High Schools, Senior Basic Schools and M.E. Schools and all are working in Aided Educational Institutions within the meaning of the definition under Sec. 3 (b) of the Odisha Education Act, 1969 (in short “the Act”). It is contended that Sec. 7-C of the Act deals with Grant-in-aid. Section 7-C of the Act reads as follows:- “7-C. [Grant-in-aid- (1) The State Government shall within the limits of its economic capacity, set apart a sum of money annually for being given as grant-in-aid to private Educational Institution in the State.

Grant-in-aid where admissible under the said rule or order, as the case may be, shall be payable from such date as may be specified in that rule or order or from such date as may be determined by the State Government: //124// Provided that pending framing of such rule or issue of order, the State Government may, without prejudice to such rule or order, direct that private educational institutions which were receiving grant-in-aid and the posts in such educational institutions in respect of which grant-in-aid was being released shall continue to be paid such amount as grant-in-aid as was being paid to them immediately prior to commencement of the Odisha Education (Amendment) Act, 1994. [(4-a) The grant-in-aid to be borne by the State Government on account of placement of a teacher in an aided educational institution receiving University Grants Commission scales of Pay under the Career Advancement Scheme, shall be limited to the extent as may be admissible by computing the period of service rendered by him against an approved post with effect from the date of completion of five years of service against such approved post: Provided that nothing in this Sub-section shall be construed as to affect the seniority or any other conditions of service of such a teacher. (4-b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Boy judgment, decree or order of any Court to the contrary, any instructions issued, actions taken or things done on or after the 1st day of January, 1986 in in regard to matters provided in Sub-section (4-a) shall be deemed to have been validly issued, taken or done as if the said Sub-section were in force at all material points of time.] (5) Notwithstanding anything contained in any law. rule, executive order or any judgment, decree or order of any Court the following categories of private educational for consideration for payment of grant-in-aid. institutions shall only be eligible [(a) Upper Primary Schools imparting instructions or courses prescribed by the State Government to standards or classes VI and VII or Sanskrit Tolls imparting equivalent courses and Madrasas imparting equivalent courses in standards or classes from I to VII or any one or more of such classes.] (b) High Schools imparting instructions or course for High School Certificate Examination conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Odisha or institutions //125// imparting Madhyama Course of Sri Jagannath Sanskrit University and Madrasas imparting equivalent course (c) Higher Secondary Schools or junior Colleges imparting instructions or course for Higher Secondary Examination conducted by the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha or institutions imparting Upasastri course of Sri Jagannath Sanskrit University and Madrasas imparting equivalent course.

(7) A Governing Body or Managing Committee desirous of availing the facility of grant-in-aid shall make an application for the purpose within such period and shall furnish such information and documents including audited statement of accounts of the institutions as may be prescribed. It shall furnish with the application an undertaking to the effect that grant- in-aid sanctioned for the purpose or meeting part or whole of the salary costs shall be disbursed directly to employees concerned and to refund any excess inadmissible payment that may have been made.] [(8) Notwithstanding anything contained in any law, rule, executive order or any judgment, decree or order of any court, the private Educational Institutions covered under clauses(a) and (b) of sub-section (5) recognized after the 31st March, 2008 shall not be entitled for any Grant-in-Aid from the State Government save as provided in sub-section (9).

It is contended that in terms of the provisions contained under Sec. 7-C of the Act, State Govt. within the limits of its economic capacity introduced various Grant-in-aid Orders (in short GIA) starting from Grant-in-aid Order, 1994. Para 3 & 4 of the Grant-in-aid Order, 1994 reads as follows:- “3. The following categories of Non-Government Educational Institutions shall only be eligible for consideration for being notified as Aided Educational Institution: (1) Higher Secondary Schools or Junior Colleges recognised by and affiliated to the Council imparting instructions and presenting regular candidates for Higher Secondary Examinations in Arts, Science or Commerce streams conducted by the said Council. Government (2) Colleges recognized by Government and affiliated to any of the Universities imparting instructions an the B.Sc. of B.Com. degree presenting examinations of the Utkal, Berhampur and Sambalpur Universities, with or without Honours. re of Note:- Sanskrit Tols, by whatever name called, conducting Upasastri, Sastri for Acharya Courses of Shree Jagannath Sanskrit University shall not be covered by this Order. (3) No Non-Government Education imparting any courses of study other than those specified in Sub- paras (1) and (2) of this para shall be eligible to be notified as an Aided Educational Institutions or to receive grant-in-aid from Government for any post in such institution. //127// (4) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-paras (1) and (2) of this para, no educational institution established or managed by any Corporation, Municipality or Notified Area Council, Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samiti or any Gram Panchayat, any Public Sector Undertaking or Company or Statutory Body, the Union Government or the Government of any other State shall be deemed to be a Non-Government Educational Institution for the purposes of this Order and no such educational institution shall be eligible to be notified as an Aided Educational Institution or to receive grant-in-aid for any post from the State Government under this Order. (5) No order according permission or approval or recognition either temporary or otherwise under the relevant provisions of the Act, or under any Rule applicable to it, and no order of any University or the Council according affiliation, whether such permission, approval, recognition or affiliation was accorded prior to the commencement of the Amendment Act, or thereafter shall ipso facto entitle any Non-Government Educational Institution to be notified as an Aided Educational Institution or to receive grant-in-aid for any post. 4. For the purposes of this Order, Non-Government Educational Institutions specified in Sub-paras (1) and (2) of para 3 and the posts in such institutions shall be classified into the following categories namely :- A Category-I (i) Non-Government Educational Institutions and approved posts in such institution which have received grant-in-aid has been sanctioned by Government prior to the commencement of the Amendment Act; (ii) Other posts in Non-Government Educational Institutions covered under Category-I(i) which were admissible on the basis of workload and prevalent yardstick and had been to commencement of the Amendment Act, but in respect of which no grant-in-aid had been sanctioned. filled up prior //128// Note: If a question arises whether a post was admissible on the basis of work-load and prevalent yardstick, the decision of the Director shall be final. B-Category-II (i) Colleges imparting instructions in and presenting regular candidates for the B.A., B.Sc. or B.Com examinations with or without Honours of any of the Universities which have been functioning regularly for five years or more by the 1st June, 1994 after obtaining Government Concurrence recognition and affiliation of any University, or for three years of more if such institution is located in an educationally backward district, which has not been notified as an Aided Educational Institution and has not received grant-in-aid from Government for any post. (ii) Higher Secondary Schools and Junior Colleges conducting courses in Arts, Science and Commerce which have been functioning regularly for 5 years or more by the 1st June, 1994 after obtaining Government concurrence or recognition and of the Council, or for 3 years or more if such an institution is located in any educationally backward district, but which have not been notified as aided Educational Institution and have not received grant-in-aid from Government for any post. Non-Government C-Category-III Educational Institutions of the categories specified in sub-paras (1) and (2) of para 3 which have already been established and have received recognition of Government and affiliation prior the Amendment Act but do not come within Categories I or II of this paragraph, and such institutions which may be established and granted recognition by Government under the Act or the provision made thereunder and affiliation by the University by the Council, as the case may be after the commencement of this order.” commencement of the to 2.5. It is contended that after extending the benefit of Grant- in-aid in terms of GIA Order, 1994, State Govt. taking //129// recourse to the provisions contained under Sec. 7-C of the Act introduced Grant-in-aid Order, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2014 & 2017 at different point of time inter alia framing the guideline and entitlement of teaching and non-teaching staff of Aided Educational Institutions to get the benefit of Grant- in-aid. While Para 10 of GIA Order, 1994 prescribes the modality of payment of Grant-in-aid, Para 3 & 4 of Grant-in- aid Order, 2004 deals with the entitlement and modality of payment of Grant-in-aid. 2.6. It is contended that in terms of GIA Order, 1994, Grant- in-aid payable to an Aided Educational Institution is the sum total of Grant-in-aid admissible towards salary cost at rates specified for each admissible and approved post from and after the date of eligibility and the Grant-in-aid so payable shall be disbursed directly to the incumbents appointed and holding the post eligible for Grant-in-aid either by the Director or through any other agency so authorized by the Govt. But under GIA Order, 2004, the concept of block grant was introduced and quantum of block grant includes the amount representing the initial pay of the teaching and non-teaching employees of such institutions on //130// that date in the pre-revised scale of pay including increments notionally accrued as on the date of the notification, plus Dearness Allowances as admissible thereon. 2.7. Similarly, in GIA Order, 2008 Para 11 while deals with the modality of payment, Para 5(2) of GIA Order, 2009 deals with such modality. Similarly, under GIA Order, 2014 Para 9 of the order deals with the modality of payment of Grant-in- aid. 2.8. While as provided under Para 3(3) of GIA Order, 2004, block grant is to be placed through the Director at the disposal of the Secretary of the Governing Body/Managing Committee of the concerned Education Institutions proportionately either on quarterly or monthly basis, Para 11 of GIA Order, 2008 deals with disbursement of block grant in favour of an employee to be disbursed directly either by the Director or through any other agency so authorized by the Govt. Similarly, under Para 5(2) of GIA Order, 2009, payment of block grant shall be placed through the Director at the disposal of the Secretary of the Governing Body of the Educational Institution and Secretary of the Governing Body //131// at whose disposal the block grant is so placed shall utilize the grant in the manner and purposes as may be specified by the Director and furnish utilization certificate thereof. As per Para 11 of GIA Order, 2014, Grant-in-aid was paid directly in favour of the employee. 2.9. Learned counsels appearing for the Petitioners contended that taking into account the economic capacity of the State as provided under Section 7-C of the Act, State Govt. introduced G.I.A. Order, 1994 and thereafter G.I.A. Order, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2014 & 2017. While under GIA Order, 1994, the employees of Aided Educational Institutions became eligible to get the benefit of Grant-in-aid equal to full salary cost, under GIA Order, 2004 onwards, the said Grant was extended in the shape of block grant and the quantum was specified along with the mode of payment. But the fact remains that after introduction of the Grant-in- aid Order, 2017, employees who are covered under various Grant-in-aid Orders and in receipt of full block grant in shape of block grant became eligible to receive Grant-in-aid as specified under Para 3 of the order. //132// 2.10. It is contended that Grant-in-aid under GIA Order, 1994 and block grant under GIA Order, 2004 onwards were released in favour of teaching and non-teaching staff of Aided Educational Institutions, who are recognized by the Govt. But the mode of payment was either directly to the employees concerned or though the Secretary of the Governing Body/Managing Committee as the case may be. It is also contended that the word “Direct Payment System” is no where defined either under the Odisha Educational Act or under any of the GIA Order. 2.11. It is further contended that as provided under Rule 9 of the Odisha Education (Recruitment and Conditions of Service of teachers and members of the staff of Aided Educational Institutions) Rules, 1974 (in short 1974 Rules), every employee of an Aided Educational Institutions shall draw the same pay, Dearness Allowances and Subsistence Allowances in case of suspension as is admissible to his counterpart in the Govt. Educational Institutions under the relevant rules. It is contended that this Court in its Judgment dtd.19.10.2023 in W.P.(C) No. 34453 of 2021 and batch has already held that the provisions contained under //133// 1974 Rules will be applicable to the employees of Aided Educational Institutions, who are in receipt of block grant to the same extent as is applicable to employees in receipt of grant-in-aid under G.I.A. Order, 1994. Therefore, in view of the applicability of the 1974 Rules to the employees of Aided Educational Institutions, who are in receipt of block grant, Petitioners herein who are employees working in Aided Educational Institutions and are in receipt of block grant are also eligible and entitled to draw same pay and allowances as is admissible to his counterpart in the Govt. Educational Institutions. 2.12. It is also contended that prior to framing of Grant-in- aid Order 1994, teachers of Aided Educational Institutions were released with their salary in terms of the resolution/circulars issued by the Govt. in the Education & Health Services Department on 12.06.1974 and subsequent circulars issued at different point of time. It is contended that in terms of the circulars issued by the Govt. on 12.06.1974 onwards, employees of Aided Educational Institutions were in receipt of their salary directly. //134// 2.13. It is also contended that since the term Direct Payment System has not been defined either under the Act or under the Rules, taking into account the dictionary meaning of the term, it is to be held that employees in receipt of grant-in-aid under GIA order, 1994 and employees in receipt of block grant under GIA Order, 2004 onwards are getting the grant directly from the Govt., subject to the provisions contained under Sec. 7-C of the Act.
