Petitioner Versus State of H.P. and others … Respondents Coram : The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge For the petitioner: Mr. J.R. Poswal, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Additional Advocate General, for the respondents. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral): The petitioner, who is a PTA teacher, is aggrieved since she has been replaced by a regular teacher. There cannot be any dispute on the fact that being an ad-hoc appointee, PTA has to give way to regular/contract employee. But the submission of the petitioner is that in case there is any vacant post available to accommodate the regular teacher, the petitioner can be continued as directed by the Government itself in Annexure P-7. In that view of the matter, the petition is disposed of by making it clear that in case the petitioner is in a position to point out a regular vacancy so as to accommodate the private respondent and if, there is any vacant post available so as to accommodate the private respondent, the petitioner be re-engaged till she is replaced by the regular/contract teacher. In case, due and admissible salary has not been paid to the petitioner, the same shall 2 be disbursed within two months on production of a copy of this judgment. 3. With the above observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice (Justice V.K. Ahuja ), November 23, 2010 Judge (SDS/BSS)
