HEREIN but subsequently the petitioner No. 2 left the service and as such the learned Advocate of the petitioner confined his sub -missions only in respect of petitioner No. 1 and did not argue anything in support of the claims of petitioner No. 2. 2. The petitioner No. 1 was appointed as an Assistant Teacher of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Vidyalaya on 26th March, 1976 and the petitioner joined the school as Assistant Teacher on 1st April, 1976. The petitioner no. 1 has claimed that he has been discharging his duties as an Assistant Teacher of the said school since the date of joining i.e. on and from 1st April, 1976.

THERE were only three approved posts of teachers in the school at the time of appointment of the petitioner No. 1 and admittedly the petitioner was not appointed against any approved vacant post of Assistant Teacher.
