The petitioner claims to be appointed in the Project School during 1984-85 phase. The submission is that he is similarly situated and is covered by an order of this Court dated 24.3.2009 in CWJC No. 11375 of 2008. Learned counsel for the State submits that it is a matter to be examined by the authorities on facts, if the petitioner was similarly situated as the petitioner in CWJC No. 11375 of 2008 and analogous cases. If he is similarly situated, he is entitled to be accorded similar treatment. The writ application is disposed with the observation that the Respondents are obliged to consider the claim of the petitioner in light of the order dated 24.3.2009 in CWJC No. 11375 of 2008 and analogous cases. Should the Respondents be of the opinion that the petitioner is not similarly situated, they are required to pass a reasoned and speaking order setting out the grounds of difference to their satisfaction for which the petitioner in their view can be stated not to be similarly situated, so as to facilitate judicial review by this Court, should the occasion arise.
