Civil Writ Petition No.6580/2009 Raj Pal Kaur & Ors. vs. State of Raj. & ors. Since this Court has already held that the leave period which has been sanctioned and has been availed during service period by the persons like petitioners while discharging their duties, then that leave period is required to be treated as spent during teaching and that cannot be deducted from the total period of teaching experience. In view of the above, this writ petition is allowed with a direction to the respondents to decide the cases of the petitioners afresh and if the petitioners are eligible otherwise and completes five years teaching experience while taking into account the period of leave referred above, then they may be granted appointment, if all other conditions are satisfied.
