HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED & HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WA NO.990 of 2011 JUDGMENT: ( per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed, J ) This writ appeal is filed against the order dated 14-10-2011 passed in WP No.21939 of 2011 by the learned single Judge of this Court. Writ petitioners are the appellants herein. The notification dated 3-7-2011 issued by the respondents was challenged in the writ petition and also the action of the respondents in not renewing their contract for the academic year 2011-12. The case of the appellants was that they were engaged as Residential teachers on contract basis in the year 2005 to work in a scheme known as Rajeev Vidya Mission. The Government issued guidelines for appointment of Teachers of this category in GO Ms.No.59, dated 22-8-2007. The respondents have not renewed the contract to continue the appellants as residential teacher in the academic year 2011-12, but instead issued the impugned notification inviting applications to fill the vacancies. By the impugned order, the learned single Judge dismissed the writ petition. Hence, this writ appeal. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the appellants and the learned Government Pleader for Education. Perused the order impugned. 3. It is stated that the appellants herein were initially appointed as part time teachers and later on they were converted as contract residential teachers. But their contract was not renewed as the respondents have taken a policy decision to undertaken the recruitment of teachers in all the intuitions, in the district, other than those situated in the scheduled areas. It is stated that as many as 83 vacancies were notified. It is not in dispute that the appellants herein have also applied for the notified posts but they could not emerge with the required marks. It is stated that the appellants 1 and 3 are from OC non-local category and they secured 46.25 and 40.98 marks respectively, but the candidate who was called for interview secured 51.20 marks. Likewise the 2nd appellant also got less marks when compared to the last candidate who was called for interview in the ratio of 1:3. 4. When once the appellants could not get the required marks for being called for interview, they cannot have any grievance. As far as not renewing their contract for the current year, as noted above, the respondents have taken a policy decision to undertake recruitment of teachers in all the institutions in the district on regular basis and the nature of appointment of the appellants being contractual in nature, no indefeasible right is violated. In the circumstances, we do not find any merits in the appeal and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________________ Ghulam Mohammed, J ________________________ Nooty Ramamohana Rao,J Dated :21-11-2011 Nrg.
