The present petition is filed by Solapur Zilha Sevanivrutta Prathamik Shikshak Samiti which represents the cause of primary teachers. The present petition is filed by the petitioner seeking direction against the respondents to consider the primary teachers for the selection grade in terms of Government Resolution dated 4th April, 1990. A declaration is also sought to the effect that all the primary teachers have completed the required qualified service as per the said Govt. Resolution having completed 18 years continuous service as on 1st January, 1986 and are entitled for the benefit of selection grade in accordance with the said -2- Government Resolution. The learned Counsel appearing for the respondent Zilla Parishad has produced before us the letter written by the Education Officer (Primary) Zilla Parishad, Solapur informing him that the decision of the authority was unclear and vague and the same was brought to the notice of the State Government. The State Government has taken a decision on 18th June, 2008 according to which the process of considering the status of 1200 primary teachers is being scrutinized by the department which requires atleast 2 to 3 months. It is specifically mentioned that the said matter is being dealt with on top priority basis. The said letter dated 25th November, 2008 is taken on record and marked "X" for identification. In view thereof the petitioner is not pressing the petition at this stage. We, therefore, dispose of the petition with liberty to the petitioner to approach this Court if need arises. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. (S.J.KATHAWALLA J.) (J.N.PATEL J.) (S.J.KATHAWALLA J.) (J.N.PATEL J.) (S.J.KATHAWALLA J.) (J.N.PATEL J.)
