[Order of the Court was made by R.SURESH KUMAR, J.]

Pursuant to our last order dated 11.07.2023, today when the case is taken up for hearing, Mr.S.Gopinathan, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent Corporation has submitted that, the original file has been produced before him and he is ready with that file for arguments.

  1. The learned Standing Counsel would submit that, in 2013-2014 panel dated 11.02.2014 issued by the respondent Corporation of candidates fit for promotion to the post of B.T. Assistant in various subjects, in respect of Maths subject the name of the appellant is found place at Sl.No.31.
  2. He would also submit that, upto Sl.No.22 viz., S.J.Logavalli promotion had been given in 2013-2014 itself, thereafter from Sl.No.23 onwards no promotion had been given.
  3. When this Court specifically asked that, between 2013 till date for about a decade whether any vacancy in B.T. Assistants especially the Maths subject has arisen, the learned Standing Counsel on the basis of the instant instruction given from the officials who present before this Court of the respondent Corporation stating that, from 2013 till date around 400 such B.T. Assistant vacancies have arisen, out of which, the exact figure as to the B.T. Assistant (Maths) is not known, but none of these 400 about vacant posts so far have been filled up.
  4. If this is the state of affairs, it is a shocking revelation to this Court on behalf of the respondent Corporation that 400 B.T. Assistant posts which are vacant from 2013 till date in the Schools run by the respondent Corporation if are kept vacant and not have been filled up despite eligible candidates are available at the panel to that effect which had already been prepared, it is a serious lapse on the part of the respondent Corporation.
  5. In this context, if these number of B.T. Assistants have not been filled up and in those Schools if there are no Teachers like B.T. Assistant to the extent of 400 in numbers, that will certainly impact and hamper the study of thousands of students who are studying in various Schools run by the respondent Corporation.
  6. Therefore, this Court wants an explanatory affidavit to be filed on behalf of the respondent Corporation either by the 1st respondent or by the 2nd respondent, where, the following details must be provided:
    • How many Schools are being run by the

respondent Corporation, the various category of the Schools like Primary School, Middle School, High School and Higher Secondary School and in those Schools insofar as B.T. Assistant posts are concerned, how many posts have been sanctioned, out of the sanctioned posts in various subjects of B.T. Assistant, how many posts are vacant.

  • If 400 plus vacancies are available in B.T. Assistant posts for the past about 10 years, why no such steps had been taken by the respondent Corporation to fill up those posts by giving promotion to the eligible candidates as well as by any other method of appointment as per the rule which governing the Service Conditions of the Teachers working in the Corporation Schools.
  • The School wise vacancy, zone wise vacancy and overall vacancy of B.T. Assistants as on date as well as the vacancy that arise every year from 2013-2014 till date must be provided.
  • It should also provide the details of how many vacancies that arose in B.T. Assistants in all subjects including the Maths subject from the academic year 20092010 till 2012-2013 and in those years if those vacancies were filled up, what was the method adopted by the respondent Corporation must be spelt out in the said report.
  1. With all these particulars a detailed status report shall be filed either by the 1st respondent or the 2nd respondent during the next hearing date. For the said purpose, post the matter on 26.07.2023. It is made clear that, no further adjournment would be given for filing such a report, therefore if such a report is not filed, the respondents 1 and 2 shall appear before this Court.
