WP(C) 442/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE I. A. ANSARI Heard Mr. A. Maleque, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. A. D. Choudhur y, learned counsel for respondent Nos.1, 2 and 3. An advertisement was published, on 01.06.2007, by the Headmaster of P.B. Balisat ra High School for a Sanskrit teacher making it clear, in the advertisement itse lf, that the post is of honorary nature and that interested candidates, who have the minimum educational qualification, may apply. Pursuant to the application m ade by the petitioner, he was selected and appointed, on 02.07.2007, as a teache r of the subject of Sanskrit. Thus, clearly, the petitioner’s appointment was ho norary and against non-sanctioned post. By filing this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner is seeking issuance of appropriate writ commanding the respondents t o regularize his service. This prayer of the petitioner cannot be acceded to, be cause the selection of the petitioner was not against any sanctioned post. This writ petition cannot, therefore, be admitted and sustained. In the above view of the matter, this writ petition fails and the same shall acc ordingly stand dismissed making it, however, clear that as and when a post for S anskrit teacher or any post in the said school is sanctioned by the Government a nd/or a sanctioned post falls vacant and any selection process is resorted to, t he petitioner shall remain at liberty to participate in the selection process pr ovided he is, otherwise, found eligible for such selection and appointment.
