Subject: - Injustice in Promotion for the Headmaster Post due to Backward Class religion
Dear Sir/Madam
I Mr. Teacher Residing in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra. I am working as a teacher in Phondaghat Education Society, New English School & Junior college Phondaghat Tal. Kankavali, Dist. Sindhudurg since *. I joined this school as Assistant teacher in * and served for more than 25 years in this school, I am from Backward Class communist (Buddhist). Mr. Sawant Shankar Arjun, Headmaster New English School and Junior College Phondaghat took charge of the principal from */*/*, after which the charge of the supervisor post should have given to me according to seniority, but the supervisor post was not filled with the purpose of deliberately harassing me by the institution. For a few years I was doing more work as a supervisor while maintaining my work as a teacher. Mr. Sawant Sir retired from the post of Headmaster on */*/*. Instead of being selected for the post of Headmaster as per seniority and rules, the teacher of Vocational education department Mr. Rasam V. V. has been given charge of the post of Headmaster for every three months. As per rules, a teacher in the Vocational education department cannot be promoted to the Headmastership of the school. In this regard, I have raised the concern with hon. Education Officer Sindhudurg after successful hearing, he has been directed to Hon. Chairman/Secretary as well as school administration for processing my promotion with the seniority. But because I am from a backward class, I am deliberately not promoted, and I was never called by the director of the institution in that regard. But the letter from the Hon Education officer to promote me to the supervisor post has expired due to tenure. Now I am eligible for the post of Headmaster as per the seniority. Request your lordship to please intervene in this matter urgently as my service has remained only for 5 years and I am expecting justice to serve as Headmaster as per seniority and eligibility.
