THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU WRIT PETITION No. 21084 OF 2001 ORDER: As per the petitioner’s case, the petitioner is working as temporary Lecturer in Commerce in M/s. A.V.N.College, Visakhapatnam from 23.07.1997 on salary of Rs.3000/- per month. He claims appointment in aided vacancy caused due to retirement of one D.Ch.Krishna Murthy, Lecturer in Commerce on attaining age of superannuation in the College. The petitioner approached this Court with this writ petition for mandamus for declaration that action of the third respondent in not absorbing the petitioner in service as Lecturer in Commerce is illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional and to direct the respondents to absorb services of the petitioner as Lecturer in Commerce in the third respondent-College with effect from 23.07.1997 with all consequential benefits. The petitioner filed Service Certificate dated 07.09.2001 issued by Principal of M/s. A.V.N. College, Visakhapatnam to the effect that the petitioner was working as temporary Lecturer in Commerce from 23.07.1997 onwards. Even as per the petitioner’s case, he was drawing salary of Rs.3000/- per month, which shows that the petitioner was appointed as part-time Lecturer on contractual basis. The question of absorbing a part-time Lecturer appointed on contractual basis into aided post does not arise, even in case an aided vacancy arose due to retirement of one of the incumbents already working in the College. The petitioner has to undergo regular process of selection for appointment as Lecturer before he can claim such absorption in aided post in a retirement vacancy. The writ petition lacks merits. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J 29.11.2010 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU WRIT PETITION No. 21084 OF 2001 Dt.29.11.2010
