Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr. K.VASUDEVA REDDY The Court at the admission stage made the following ORDER: The petitioner is working as a Lecturer in English on daily wage basis in the 2nd respondent-College since 1996. The petitioner contends that the 2nd respondent- College addressed the Director of Intermediate Education on 30-9-2004 seeking permission to fill up the posts of Junior Lecturers including the post of English Lecturer. The petitioner apprehends that if permission is granted by the Director of Intermediate Education, the 2nd respondent-College is contemplating to replace the petitioner and appoint a new person in his place. The petitioner further contends that he was appointed as a temporary Junior Lecturer in English after the retirement of Sri G.Srirama Murthy on 08-07-2003. With the above apprehension, the petitioner approached this Court seeking a direction to the respondents to regularize his services as a Junior Lecturer in English with effect from the date of his initial appointment. Regarding the regularization of the services of the petitioner, it is for the management to take a decision whether to regularize the services of a temporary Lecturer or not. No direction can be given to the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner. If the post of junior Lecturer is proposed to be filled by another temporary Lecturer, it is appropriate for the respondents to continue the petitioner in the same post as a temporary Lecturer unless they pass an order in writing as to why they are disengaging the petitioner from service. The respondents are directed to continue the services of the petitioner till they take a decision whether they are proposing to fill up the vacancy on regular basis or till they pass appropriate orders regarding the continuation of the petitioner in service. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. _____________________ (Dr. G.YETHIRAJULU,J) 11th October, 2004. Tsy To 1.
