22.08.2025 had passed the following order: "7. In the light of the decisions passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench, it is evidently clear that the petitioner is entitled to count 50% of the service rendered as Single Part time Vocational Instructor before regularization along with regular service for pensionary benefits. A mandamus is therefore issued to the Respondents to count 50% service rendered by the deceased B.Vajjiravelu as Single Part Time Vocational Instructor at Islamiah Boys Higher Secondary School, Pernampet, Vellore District for a period from

03.10.1979 to 31.03.1990 along with regular service as Vocational Instructor from 01.04.1990 when he was regularized to 28.02.2010 when he retired from service for the purpose of pensionary benefits as well as family pension and to grant arrears of pension and pensionary benefits within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs." Page4 of 6
