In so far the seniority is concerned the petitioners are not entitled to seniority by counting the ad hoc/temporary service, however, that period is to be counted for purposes of qualifying service for pensionary benefits. The petitioners are also entitled to the salary for the summer vacations in terms of the Division Bench judgement dated 3.1.1995 passed in CWP No. 4711 of 1993, wherein following directions have been issued:- “ This Court has been consistently granting the benefits of salary of summer vacations to all the teachers who were similarly situated irrespective of the fact whether they have approached the Court belatedly or at an early stage. Not only that, general directions were also issued to the CWP. No. 5276 of 1994 -2- Education Department to release the salary of summer vacations to all the teachers so that they don't have to approach the Court by way of separate writ petitions. Consequently, we hereby allow the writ petitions and direct the respondents to pay the salary of summer vacations to the petitioners for the period which have been claimed by them in their writ petitions, within a period of three months from today. No costs.” This petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the respondents to count the ad hoc/temporary service of the petitioners towards the qualifying service and pay the salary for the summer vacations during the period they were serving as ad hoc/temporary employees, if, not already paid, within a period of three months.
