This application has been moved by the petitioners in Writ Petition No.2700 of 2004, which was admitted by this Court on 18-1-2005, and the Respondents were directed to continue the petitioners by giving provisional approval, and also to pay regular salary along with incidental benefits with effect from March 2003. 2. It is stated in this Civil application that consequent to the said 2 orders passed by this Court, the respondent no.2 by his order dated 30-8-2005 has granted approval for the appointment of Shri S. W. Dahule, and by the subsequent order dated 16-2-2006, approval has been granted in favour of other eight teachers. All these appointees are from the OBC category, and they claim to possess the requisite qualifications for the respective posts i.e. Asstt. Teachers. The petitioners have received their salary for the year 1999-2000 and the only grievance that remains to be redressed is the payment of salary for the period from July 2000 to February 2003. The alternate prayer made in this application seeks direction against the Respondent no.2 to consider the claim of the petitioners for approval from the date of their initial appointment, and in the light of the orders passed on 30-8-2005 and 16-2- 2006. 3. The learned Counsel for the petitioners, therefore, pray for 3 disposal of this petition with directions to the Education Officer (Secondary) Z. P. Chandrapur to consider the petitioner's claim for approval from the date of their initial appointments, and consequential benefits as may be admissible. 4. Hence, Civil Application is allowed, and Writ Petition No.2700/2004 is hereby disposed off with the directions to Respondents no.1 & 2 to consider the petitioners claim for approval from the date of their initial appointments as Asstt. Teachers. 5. The petitioners as well as the management shall be heard on this issue and Respondents no.1 & 2 will pass the appropriate order as expeditiously as possible and preferably before 31-12-2008.
