(Per Dr D Y Chandrachud, CJ)

I Constitution of the Full Bench

This Full Bench has been constituted in pursuance of an order dated 27 July 2015 of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in State of Uttar Pradesh Vs Shiv Kumar Pathak1 and connected cases. The Supreme Court directed that all matters before the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, both at Allahabad and Lucknow, relating to Shiksha Mitras shall be heard by a Full Bench at Allahabad. In pursuance of the order passed by the Supreme Court, the writ petitions relating to Shiksha Mitras which were pending before the Lucknow Bench have been transferred to Allahabad in pursuance of the provisions of Clause 14 of the United Provinces High Courts (Amalgamation) Order, 1948.

II Scope of the challenge

In the leading writ petition2, the relief which has been sought, is for setting aside two notifications which were issued on 30 May 2014 by the Government of Uttar Pradesh for notifying the Uttar Pradesh Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (First Amendment) Rules, 20143 and the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education (Teachers) Services (Nineteenth Amendment) Rules, 20144. By and as a result of the amendment , Rule 16-A was introduced into the Rules framed by the State Government under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 20095, called the Uttar Pradesh Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Rules, 20116 to reserve to the State Government the power to relax the minimum qualifications prescribed for the appointment of Assistant Teachers in junior basic schools in the case of Shiksha Mitras for the purpose of their appointment in regular service. The second amendment which has been made by the State Government has the effect of amending the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education (Teachers) Services Rules, 19817. By the amendment, the State Government has enabled the appointment of Shiksha Mitras who were working on the date of commencement of the amended Rules into regular service as Assistant Teachers of junior basic schools. The reliefs which have been sought also include a challenge to a Government Order dated 7 February 2013 issued by the Principal Secretary, contemplating the absorption into service, of Shiksha Mitras working in junior basic schools in phases covering a total of 1,24,000 graduate Shiksha Mitras and 46,000 Shiksha Mitras who have completed the intermediate qualification. There is also a challenge to a further Government Order dated 19 June 2014 implementing the decision of the State Government to absorb Shiksha Mitras into regular service. 

III For convenience of exposition, the judgment has been divided into the following parts:

(i) PART A : The legislative, regulatory and administrative framework

(ii) PART B : Submissions

(iii) PART C : Analysis

(iv) PART D : Operative orders

C12    Locus  of  the  petitioners Admittedly,  

all   the   petitioners   were   qualified   to   apply  for  and  be considered  for  appointment  as  Assistant  Teachers.  Their  right  of  consideration was  clearly  affected  and  is  in  fact  eclipsed  by  the  absorption  of  Shiksha  Mitras.  It cannot  therefore  be  said  that  the  petitioners  lacked  locus  to  maintain  the  writ petitions.

PART D : OPERATIVE ORDERS For  all  these  reasons,  we  allow  the  writ  petitions  in  the  following terms:

(i)    The  amendment  made  by  the  State  Government  by  its notification  dated  30  May  2014  introducing  the  provision  of  Rule  16-A in   the  Uttar  Pradesh  Right  of  Children  to  Free  and  Compulsory Education  Rules,  2011  by  the  Uttar  Pradesh  Right  of  Children  to  Free and  Compulsory  Education  (First  Amendment)  Rules  2014  is  held  to  be arbitrary and ultra vires and is quashed and set aside;

(ii)   The   Uttar  Pradesh  Basic  Education  (Teachers)  Service (Nineteenth  Amendment)  Rules  2014,  insofar  as  they  prescribe  as  a source  of  recruitment  in  Rule  5(2)  the  appointment  of  Shiksha  Mitras; the  academic  qualifications  for  the  recruitment  of  Shiksha  Mitras  in Rule  8(2)(c)  and  for  the  absorption  of  Shiksha  Mitras  as  Assistant Teachers  in  junior  basic  schools  under  Rule  14(6)  are  set  aside  as  being unconstitutional and ultra vires; and

(iii)  All  consequential  executive  orders  of  the  State  Government providing  for  the  absorption  of  Shiksha  Mitras  into  the  regular  service of  the  State  as  Assistant  Teachers  shall  stand  quashed  and  set  aside. The  batch  of  writ  petitions  shall  stand  disposed  of  in  the  aforesaid terms.  However,  there  shall  be  no  order  as  to  costs.    

Order  Date:-  12.09.2015
