SBCWP3073/2010 // 1 // IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.3073/2010 Dr. Madhusudan Shrimali Vs. State of Rajasthan and Others Date of Order ::: 29.03.2010 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mohammad Rafiq Shri Sudhir Jain, Counsel for petitioner Shri Shantanu Sharma for Shri Dinesh Yadav, Additional Advocate General for respondents #### By the Court:- Petitioner Dr. Madhusudan Shrimali has filed this writ petition challenging order dated 01.01.2010 by which his services were discontinued on Shri B.L. Koli, Lecturer in Geography, having joined with respondents on transfer at the place of petitioner's working. Petitioner's services were earlier sought to be discontinued when he filed a petition being S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.2524/2009; that writ petition was decided by judgment dated 22.05.2009, wherein respondents were directed to consider petitioner's case on priority basis for academic session 2009-2010. It was left to their discretion to engage petitioner and other similarly situated persons, if they decided to do so, in next academic session. So the contention of learned counsel for petitioner is that his appointment would continue SBCWP3073/2010 // 2 // till availability of duly selected candidates or availability of lecturer on deputation, and respondents cannot discontinue petitioner's services by transferring another Lecturer from a different government college. I am afraid such a contention cannot be countenanced because petitioner's appointment was on contractual basis and respondents have transferred a substantively appointed lecturer in his place and petitioner will have to make a room for him. Petitioner did not possess the post after duly selection on regular or substantive basis; he was merely engaged on contract purely on temporary basis. I therefore do not find any merit in this writ petition and the same is dismissed. At this stage, learned counsel for petitioner submitted that appointment of petitioner was otherwise to subsist till 30th April, 2010 and that he may be given a liberty to make representation to respondent if still some other post is vacant with them. It goes without saying that he may do so. (Mohammad Rafiq) J. //Jaiman//
