- The Last words of the Legal Opinion of GP as follows:
- Pending further order in the OA, the Respondents are directed to consider the case of the applicant for promotion to the post of Gazetted Head Master Grade II as per his seniority and eligibility in his parent unit i.e., Government schools if he is initially appointed in Government Schools and shall pass appropriate orders within a paeriod of 4 weeks.
- I have gone through the AP State & Subordinate Service Rules 1996 Rule 10(a)(i) where it is necessary in the Public interest to fill emergently a vacancy in a post borne on the cadre of a service, class or category and if the filing of such vacancy in accordance with the said rules, either by direct recruitment or by appointment by transfer, as may be specified as the method of appointment in respect of that post, in the special rules.
- In view of the above facts and circumstances, I am of consider view that it is desirable to accord promotion to the posts of Head Masters from the categories of School Assistants and equivalent cadres and to the post of School Assistants and equivalent cadres from the categories of SGTs and equivalent cadres as per the qualification prescribed by NCTE in NCTE regulation 2014 and by the State Government in Teachers Recruitment Rules, 2018 working in their respective Unit of Managements in the existing vacancies up to the cadre of Head master on purely adhoc basis under Rule 10(a)(i) of the AP State & Subordinate Service Rules 1996, subject to outcome of judgement OA 2670/2017, 2671/2017, 2470/2018 on the file of APAT, with the permission of Government in the matter, as there is no legal impediment to effect promotions to the Teachers in their respective managements up to the cadre of the Head Masters only without unifying the cadres in the Mandal & Zills Parishad Schools to the cadres in the Government Schools under Presidential Order
