Versus State of HP & others …Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge. For the Petitioner: Ms. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate. For Respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. AG, for respondents. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayers: “(i) That the respondents may be directed to allow the petitioner to work in the Government Senior Secondary School, Barotiwala, Tehsil Nalagarh, District Solan as Home Science Teacher on PTA basis to secure the ends of law and justice. (ii) That the office order dated 12th May, 2008 may be quashed and set aside.” 2. In the reply, it is stated that the petitioner had executed an agreement to the effect that she could continue until regular hand has joined duty or till 31.3.2007, whichever is earlier. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner continues thereafter also and the petitioner has been receiving the eligible remuneration since there was need and requirement of a teacher to teach the students in Home Science. It is the 2 submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was sought to be discontinued only on the ground that she was Home Science teacher and on the basis of the instruction at Annexure A-5, Home Science teachers are not appointed as a teacher on PTA basis. As rightly pointed out by the petitioner, the petitioner was appointed prior to Annexure A-5 and she had been continuing also. Therefore, on the only ground of Annexure A-5, she cannot be denied the grant-in-aid. It is submitted that even now the petitioner is continuing and she is being paid remuneration also. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of making it clear that unless she is replaced by a regular/contract teacher, the present arrangement shall be continued. 3. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Copy Dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 23rd November, 2010. ( Justice V.K. Ahuja), (tr) Judge
