(per Mr. Subhash Upadhyay, J.)
1. Since common questions of law and fact are
involved in this batch of writ petitions, therefore they were
UKHC010092042022
2026:UHC:5461-DB
heard together and are being decided by a common
judgment.
2. In these writ petitions, the petitioners have
assailed the judgment and order dated 21.04.2022 passed
by Uttarakhand Public Services Tribunal (hereinafter to be
referred as ‘The Tribunal’). By the impugned order, the
Tribunal allowed the claim petitions and set aside the order
dated 13.07.2021 passed by the Secretary, Education, by
which the claim of adhoc teachers appointed as Lecturers
and Assistant Teachers (LT Grade) for grant of seniority
w.e.f. 01.10.1990 was rejected. The Tribunal further
directed the State Government to consider the issue of
fixation of inter-se seniority of the Lecturers and Assistant
Teachers (LT Grade) afresh in view of the judgment passed
in the case of Bhuwan Chandra Kandpal.
