2. Orders were subsequently issued vide G.O. 2nd read
above, dispensing with the tests prescribed above for regularising of services
of school assistants but the above tests were prescribed to become eligible for
promotion to the Higher Posts. Later, in the latest orders issued vide G.O. 4th
read above, the tests mentioned above were not prescribed to the School
Assistants either for regularisation of their services or their promotions. Not
only that, these tests were not prescribed for any of the officers and APSESS
or APES.
3. The services of teachers working in Zilla Parishad, and Government
Schools were integrated vide G.O. 3rd read above. These orders were
challenged by the Government teachers in the APAT and the Tribunal directed not
to act in the rules framed under G.O.Ms.No. 40, Education, dt. 7-2-1992 till
the rules are framed afresh. Accordingly, the A.P. School Education
Sub-ordinate Services Rules were framed afresh vide G.O. 4th read above, and
these orders were upheld by the Tribunal.
4. The Commissioner and Director of School Education, in his
letter 5th read above, stated that certain Zilla Parishad High Schools were
upgraded into Junior Colleges in the 70 and the School assistants working in
Zilla Parishad Schools were absorbed in Government Junior Colleges with the
condition that 50% of the service rendered by them in Zilla Parishads shall be
taken into consideration for seniority, in Government Schools. He further
stated that certain School assistants working in Government Schools of Nalgonda
District represented to him that they also be considered for promotion to the
Higher posts taking into the consideration the length of service along with
teachers working in Zilla Parishad Schools. The Commissioner and Director of
School Education, therefore requested the Government to consider the request of
teachers working in Government Schools and issue orders to consider their
entire service as a Teacher for seniority purpose for promotion to the Higher post
on par with the teachers working in Zilla Parishad/Mandal Parishad Schools.
5. The Commissioner and Director of School Education in his
subsequent reference 7th read above stated that since the services of teachers
working in Government/Zilla Parishad/Mandal Parishad are integrated, their
integrated seniority list were prepared in the districts taking into
consideration the dates of their regularisation of services. The contention of
the teachers working in Government Schools is that their services should also
be regularised with effect from the dates of their joining into service without
insisting on passing of departmental tests as was done in respect of teachers
working in Zilla Parishad/Mandal Parishad Schools. In view of this, the
Commissioner and Director of School Education suggested that the services of
School assistants working in Government Schools who are still working as School
Assistants may be regularised with affect from the dates of their joining into
service subject to the condition that they should not claim any monetary benefits
and service benefits with retrospective effect and such benefits will be extended
to them with prospective of the date of issue of Government orders and requested
the Government to issue necessary orders in the matter.
6. The Government have examined the matter very carefully and
decided that the services of School Assistants who were still working in the
same category in the Government Schools should be re-regularised with effect
from the date of their joining into service subject to the condition that they
should not claim any monetary benefits on account of re-regularisation of
Services but to accord them the service benefits from the date of
re-regularisation on par with the School Assistants working in Panchayat Raj
Institutions. The Government therefore, in accordance with rule 34 of A.P.
State and Sub-ordinate Services 1996, hereby order that the services of those
who are still working as School Assistants in Government Schools shall be re-regularised
with effect from the date of joining into service without insisting on departmental
tests mentioned in para one of this order with all service benefits except monetary
benefits on par with the School Assistants working in Panchayat Raj Institutions.
