RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS : NIL. / TRUE COPY / tga KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ----------------------------------------- O.P. No.6306 of 2001 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT This original petition pertains to the engagement of Guest Lecturers in Higher Secondary Schools. While admitting the original petition, this court passed an interim order as follows:- “There will be a direction to the respondents to engage the petitioners as Guest Lecturers in case work is available and nobody else has been appointed in their place when they were displaced. However, this will not stand in the way of Government making regular appointments.” I do not think that the petitioners are entitled to any other or any more reliefs. Obviously their conditions of service are governed by the terms of appointment. Therefore, making it clear that the disengagement of the petitioners will only be in terms of their engagement and reserving liberty to the petitioners to approach the concerned respondents in the matter of either regular appointment or regularisation, this original petition is disposed of.
