1. Since the issue involved in the present batch of
Appeals is identical, all the appeals were heard
analogously and disposed of by the present common
// 2 //
order. However, for the sake of brevity and convenience,
FAO No.281 of 2018 was taken as the lead case.
2. All these present Appeals have been filed
challenging the judgment passed by the learned State
Education Tribunal (in short, “the Tribunal”) in different
G.I.A cases so filed by the employees/concerned
institutions seeking extension of the benefit of Grant-in-
aid under G.I.A Order, 1994 (in short, “1994 Order”).
While State is the appellant in all those cases where the
claim has been allowed by the Tribunal, the
employees/institutions are before this Court in different
appeals where such claim has been rejected by the
Tribunal.
