Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education. The petitioner was appointed on 22.08.1994 in the 4th respondent college as part-time Lecturer in Mathematics and he is seeking regularization of his service in the 4th respondent college as per G.O.Ms.No.328 Education (CE-III) Department, dated 15.10.1997 wherein it was stated that all the Lecturers/Junior Lecturer working in private aided colleges, who possessed the prescribed qualifications and have put in 2½ or more years of service as part-time Lecturers and were continuing in service on the last date of instruction of the academic year 1990-91 and are serving on the date of proceedings to be issued by the Regional Joint Director of Higher Education concerned to the Principal of Private Colleges calling for the information of part-time Lecturers, are eligible for the posts of Lecturers/Junior Lecturers in Private Degree/Junior Colleges. Therefore, it is clear that the petitioner did not put in the required minimum service as part-time Lecturer or full time Lecturer as on 25.11.1993 and, as such, he is not entitled for regularization of his service. It is also stated that the service of the petitioner was not regularized on the ground that he has not secured 55% of the marks in the Post-Graduate Degree with Mathematics and he secured only 53.3% marks in the relevant subject to be appointed as Junior Lecturer. As per Condition no.9.4 in the G.O.Ms.No.328, only such of the part-time Lecturers and part-time Junior Lecturers who have passed the Post-Graduate Degree with not less than 55% marks in the relevant subject alone are entitled to be considered for regularization of their services. So, it is clear that the petitioner has not fulfilled the said condition. In view of the above, the petitioner is not entitled for the relief sought and the writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. The interim order granted earlier stands vacated. No order as to costs. ___________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J ___________________________ VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR,J 12th OCTOBER 2009 KPR/CVRK
