The applicants initially joined as Junior Basic
Teachers. Subsequent thereto, they were appointed as Head
Teachers. Vide Annexures P-5 and P-6 benefits of FR-
22(I)(a)(i) have been denied to the applicants, in the case at
hand. Learned counsel on behalf of the applicants submits that

reliance upon the judgment dated 05.05.2008, passed in CWP

judgment dated 24.07.2010, passed in CWP No.1122 of 2010,
titled Narinder Singh Chauhan Vs. State of HP & Ors. In view of
the law laid down therein, impugned order dated 20.04.2022
(Annexure P-5) and letter dated 25.06.2024 (Annexure P-6),
are stayed during the pendency of the present petition.
