By order and in the name of the Governor of Karnataka, M.Pankaja Special Officer & Ex-Officio Deputy Secretary to Government, Education Dept (Planning) (Published in Karnataka Gazette Part IV 2c (ii) No. 761 dated 30.5.1995.) ***** KARNATAKA ACT NO. 04 OF 2015 (First Published in the Karnataka Gazette Extra-ordinary on the Ninth day of January, 2015) THE KARNATAKA EDUCATION (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2014 (Received the assent of the Governor on the Seventh day of January, 2015) An Act further to amend the Karnataka Education Act, 1983 Whereas it is expedient further to amend the Karnataka Education Act, 1983 (Karnataka Act 1 of 1995) for the purposes hereinafter appearing; Whereas the State Government has admitted several Private Educational Institutions for grant in aid to improve the standard of education and reduce the burden of management by giving salary grant to teaching and non-teaching staff. Whereas no departmental examinations or Kannada language examinations were prescribed for employees in educational institutions receiving maintenance grant from State Government. Whereas the teaching staff in private management institutions admitted to grant-in-aid, claim extension of benefit of one increment for having passed SSLC examination with Kannada as a language or Kannada Language Examination, on par with the pay and emoluments of Government servants is upheld in W.P Nos.13715/2006 c/w W.P Nos. 17236/2008 and 10111-10681/2009 dated 30.06.2009 and Writ Appeal No. 4255/2009 and 4556-5155/2009 dated 25.03.2010. Accordingly Government has issued order No.ED 302 PMC 2006, dated 25.03.2011. Whereas the Government order dated 25.03.2011 was challenged in W.P No. 19846-20413/2012. The Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka allowed the said petition on 10.08.2012, with directions to keep in view the service particulars of the petitioners herein and calculate the additional increment payable to the petitioners as has been done in the case of teaching and non-teaching staff working in Government schools, who are similarly placed. Whereas the state filed appeals against the order dated 10.08.2012 made in W.P Nos.19846-20413/2012, in Writ Appeal No. 2779 and 4868- 5434/2013. The Hon'ble High Court has dismissed the said appeals on 28.08.2013. And, whereas the state of Karnataka preferred the appeal in the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Special Leave Petition No. 38205-38772/2013. Whereas C.C.C.No. 648/2013 was filed before the Hon'ble High Court to implement the decision of Judgment delivered in W.P.No.19846- 20413/2012 dated 10.08.2012. The petition was allowed by giving 15 days time to implement the said orders. Since, Service examination or Kannada Language Examination is not made obligatory for aided school employees, there appears no justification in sanction of additional increment for having passed service or Kannada Language examination to aided institution employees. Government had never contemplated this at any point of time. However, Government has issued order No. ED 286 PMC 2013, dated 11.11.2013 implementing the order dated: 10.08.2012 of the Hon'ble High Court, subject to the Order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in S.L.P. Nos. 38205-38772/2013 which resulted in huge financial implication on the consolidated fund of the State. The above said Special Leave Petition Nos. 38205-38772/2013 were dismissed on 06.01.2014. Now therefore, it is considered necessary to review the matter and since no Service examinations or Kannada Language Examination has been prescribed for the employees of aided Educational Institutions the Government decided not to extend the additional increment payable to the employees working in aided educational institutions as has been done in the case of employees working in Government Schools and for the matters connected therewith or incidental thereto for the purposes hereinafter appearing; Be it enacted by the Karnataka State Legislature in the sixty fifth year of the Republic of India, as follows:- 1.
