Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that now the respondents have themselves made it clear by Annexure-7 that the Intermediate degree from vocational course shall be treated as equivalent to Intermediate degree - 2 - from a regular course. In view of said clarification, as contained in Annexure-7, the petitioner is entitled for functioning as Panchayat Shikshak and for payment of his salary/remuneration. Learned counsel for the State also accepts this said legal position. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for allowing him to function as Panchayat Shikshak and to pay his salary/remuneration. In case, such an order of the Government as contained in Memo No. 3335 dated 9.9.2008, annexed as Annexure-7, is found applicable in his case, orders in this respect shall be passed by the respondents within one month from receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application is disposed of thus. Arvind/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
