BABU, J. :
The
Petitioners before us were appointed as teachers in the Panchayat Union
Elementary Schools under the Tamil Nadu Elementary Education Subordinate
Service. When they were working in such Middle Schools, they were upgraded as
High Schools and the Petitioners were transferred to the High Schools. The
Petitioners were absorbed in the High School Service but some of the teachers,
who were stated to be junior to the Petitioners and who continued in the
Panchayat Union Elementary Schools, were subsequently promoted as Head Masters
in the primary and the Middle Schools run by the Panchayat Union. They were
allowed to draw their pay in the scale of Rs.2,000- 3,200 from 1.6.88 pursuant
to G.O. issued on 5.10.1990. The result was that they started getting more pay
than the Petitioners did.
