Re: permission for higher education
well. as per my understanding, if You do not claim any higher increment, and do not disturb your daily routine, you can do your higher studies. There is a judgment by the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court on 11.2.2011. which can be set as a precedent. But as I said, two conditions
1. NO DEMAND FOR HIGHER SCALE OF PAY
2. NO DEMAND FOR SPECIAL LEAVE.

I have applied for MA in history for enhancing my qualification. I had applied to school on 17.01.2000. School has given me the permission on 24.01.2000. After that I take the admission for MA in distance mode on 01.02.2000. And managing committee had sent the application to DI on 17.2.2000. Now when I have applied for increment DI reject the application by citing G.O. No. 548-SE(S) dated 24.6.97. But I get the approval from DI for appearing the examination before the part I exam. Now I want to know is this right decision.

No no there some mistake….DI has given me the approval before the appearing in the examination i.e. ma part 1. but my enrollment/admission date is 1.2.2000 and managing committee has sent the application with resulation which also done before my admission to DI on 17.02.2000. Just because my school committee has sent the letter to DI 15 days after my admission,how they can reject? I have DI approval for rest of the things and applied for increment after passing the exam but they reject this on this ground citing that law on 01.08.2012. They have taken a long time to tell that.

They citing the G.O. No. 548-SE(S) dated 24.6.97. They are telling that your admission date is 1.2.2000 and managing committee had sent the doc to DI for approval on 17.2.2000. Because of 15 days gap they reject my application. If DI has any objection then he should tell me before giving the permission. Now why they are not giving me the increment, I don’t understand. Just because managing committee has sent the application 15 days later,how they can reject the same? What was my fault? I have applied to the managing committee prior my admission and resulation made by school committee before my admission. and also DI has approved the same before my appearance in the exam. but they are telling that application should sent to DI for approval before admission. If he had any problem he should not give the approval for examination. That’s my question.
