THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.19207 OF 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking to issue writ of mandamus declaring action of the respondents in issuing notification, dated 06-07-2011 with an intention to deprive the petitioners even when the petitioners are eligible, entitled and continuing in the post of Contract Residential Teachers (CRT) in Kurnool District, as illegal arbitrary and consequently direct the respondents 1 to 7 to continue the services of the petitioners in the present posts on par with the other similarly situated persons under SSA scheme. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the notification was issued to deprive the rights of the petitioners in continuing in their respective posts, that if any persons are appointed in pursuance of this notification, the petitioners would loose their jobs and that the contract of employment was renewed from year to year, that the petitioners are qualified with Graduation (degree), Post Graduation (Masters degree) and B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) and hence, he prays to set aside the notification.. 3. The grievance of the petitioners is that though they are appointed on contract basis and are working as on today, the District Collector, Kurnool has notified the vacancies vide notification, dated 06-07-2011, which is not justifiable. The petitioners have no right to continue in the posts when the term of employment is controlled by an agreement or contract. If the contract between the petitioners and the respondents is still subsisting, then they can continue till the termination of contract or expiry of contract period. The petitioners have not filed any document to show that their contract is subsisting for this academic year 2011-2012. Therefore, they have no right to challenge the notification, but at the same time, they have got every right to participate in the process of selection in pursuance of the notification. 4. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to receive the applications of the petitioners if otherwise in order and process the same in accordance with the terms and conditions as notified in the notification and consider their case in accordance with law taking note of the fact of their previous experience. No order as to costs. ________________ K.C. BHANU, J DATED: 08-07-2011 Hsd
