It may be underlined that G Pragasam had filed a petition against the IAS officer, Director of Teacher Education Research and Training Education and Principal of the District Institute of Education and Training and the Correspondent Oliyasthanam Teacher Training Institute. 

Reportedly the respondents had failed to comply with court’s order to regularise Pragasam’s service w.e.f. 01.04.1979 on par with that of the similarly placed persons and extend the monetary benefits by passing suitable orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order.
