#seniority benefits

Rajasthan High Court rules that notional benefits, once granted to a government employee based on inter se merit, cannot be unilaterally withdrawn without misrepresentation or fraud. The judgment reinforces that seniority and consequential benefits, once accorded, are vested rights protected under settled precedents like Om Prakash, Hemlata Shrimali, and Suman Bai.

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that continuous service rendered as Guruji Adhyapak and subsequently as Sikshak must be treated as a single uninterrupted tenure for seniority and pay scale upgradation. The judgment reinforces the principle that arbitrary exclusion of prior service periods violates service jurisprudence, impacting thousands of educators under the M.P. School Education Rules 2018.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that employees appointed first as Guruji Adhyapak and later as Sikshak are entitled to have their entire uninterrupted service counted from the initial appointment for seniority and pay scale benefits. This sets a critical precedent for contractual and temporary teaching staff across state-run schools, ensuring equity in career progression under the MP Rajya School Siksha Seva Saikshnik Sanvarg Rules, 2018.
