(1.) Challenging the impugned action of the State in retuning the Proposal submitted by the respective Minority Schools, seeking to approve the appointments made by them against the sanctioned vacancies in the Non-Teaching Posts, these writ petitions have been filed.
(2.) Heard both sides.
(3.) It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that, as and when vacancies arose against the regular & sanctioned posts relating to Non-Teaching staff in various cadres, the Aided Minority Schools concerned had filled up the same by appointing suitable hands without prior permission to fill up those vacancies and, while this practice continued till the academic year 2000-2001 with the Government according approval to such appointments regularly. Now, by way of the present impugned proceedings, the Education Department have returned the proposals sent by the Minority Institutions, seeking approval for the appointment of Non-Teaching Staff, by holding such exercise is arbitrary and absolutely unwarranted.
