IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA C.W.P. No. 3390 of 2010 Decided on 7th July, 2010. Kusum Lata ….Petitioner Versus State of HP & ors …Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, Judge. For the petitioner: Mr. Amandeep Sharma, Advocate For Respondents 1 to 4: Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. ____________________________________________________________ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The writ petition has been filed with the following prayers:- (i) That the order of private respondent against the petitioner and the oral termination of the petitioner may kindly be quashed with all consequential benefits while issuing the writ of certiorari. (ii) That the petitioner may kindly be allowed to work as PTA teacher with all consequential benefits from the date of illegal termination as per grant in aid rules while issuing the writ in the nature of mandamus and further respondents may kindly be directed to make the seniority list of PTA teachers as per the judgment passed by this Hon’ble court. 2. Learned Senior Additional Advocate General submits that only a regular teacher has been appointed in the post, occupied by the petitioner, and by the very fact that the petitioner is a PTA teacher, the petitioner has to give room for a regular teacher since the PTA is only an ad hoc arrangement, made by the Parent Teacher Association. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that there are several vacancies available to accommodate the regular teacher and the fifth respondent need not to be appointed in place of the petitioner and in case the fifth respondent is accommodated, the petitioner will have to go out and there is no other place where the petitioner can be accommodated since she is only PTA teacher. 4. It is certainly open to the petitioner to point out this aspect before the third respondent, in which case the third respondent will consider whether the fifth respondent can be accommodated at any other suitable place, so that the petitioner can continue. Necessary orders in that regard shall be passed within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the representation alongwith a copy of this judgment. The writ petitions stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 7th July, 2010(K) (Justice Kuldip Singh), Judge
