The petitioner has claimed in this petition that instead of said respondent no. 3, L.T. grade should have been given to him.

Mirza Mahfooz Beg was in L.T. grade and in that capacity he was teaching Art as one of the subjects to High School Students. He was promoted to the post of lecturer. As a result of his promotion, one post of lecturer in L.T. grade fell vacant Through a resolution dated 14-1-1984, the Committee of Management appointed the petitioner in the aforesaid grade. Approval of this resolution was sought, as is required under the U.P. Intermediate Education Act, from the District Inspector of Schools, Azamgarh. This was not given and instead Iftakhar Ahmad, respondent no. 3, was given the L.T. grade by the District Inspector of Schools. Feeling aggrieved, the present petition was filed.
(3.) Counsel for the petitioner urged that as Iftakhar Ahmad was not promoted to the post of L.T. grade teachers by the Committee of Management, he could not be given the said grade by the District Inspector of Schools. For this purpose, reliance had also been placed on the provisions of U.P. Secondary Education Act where, the counsel pointed out, the Committee of Management alone has been authorised to give the L.T. grade.;
