It is not clear asto whether the Lecturer in Electrical trade is required to teach other subjects as stated in the return or they have to teach only Electrical trade. 4. Be that as it may, having regard to the facts situation of the case that admittedly the petitioner is a Lecturer in Electrical trade, the State Government is directed to consider the qualification of the petjtioner and post him at a place where the Electrical trade is available, as a 6. 2 course in the programme so that his expertise may not be wasted for the purpose of teaching in other subjects.
