1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No. 4398 of 2010. Date of decision: 3.8.2010 Nagender Kumar ….. Petitioner. Vs. State of H.P. & others …. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, Judge. For the Petitioner (s) : Mr. Inder Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K.Sharma, Sr. Additional Advocate General. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The writ petition has been filed with the following prayers:- i) That the respondent be directed to give joining/re-instate the petitioner as Lecturer History on PTA basis at Government Senior Secondary School Padhar Disttt. Mandi, H.P. ii) The respondent be directed to make suitable arrangement to adjust petitioner in the aforesaid school so that petitioner is not deprived off his legitimate claim anymore. 2. Learned Senior Additional Advocate General submits that only regular teacher has been appointed in the post occupied by the petitioner and by the very fact that the petitioner is a PTA teacher, the petitioner has to give room for a regular teacher since the PTA is only an adhoc arrangement made by the Parent Teacher Association. 2 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that there are several vacancies available to accommodate the regular teacher and Smt. Rajni Kapoor need not to be appointed in place of the petitioner and in case Smt. Rajni Kapoor is accommodated, the petitioner will have to go out and there is no other place where he can be accommodated since he is only PTA teacher. 4. It is certainly open to the petitioner to point out this aspect before the second respondent, in which case the second respondent will consider whether Smt. Rajni Kapoor can be accommodated at any other suitable place so that the petitioner can continue. Necessary orders in that regard shall be passed within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the representation alongwith a copy of this judgment. Copy Dasti.
