IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.14157 of 1996 Dated: September 19, 2006 Between: K.S.V.S. Murthy, S/o. Satyanarayana, Aged 30 years, SGBT. Assistant, R/o. Ramnagar, Hyderabad, and Others. … Petitioner And The Commissioner & Director of School Education, Saifabad, Hyderabad, and others. … Respondents Order: Petitioners, three in number, who were appointed as teachers, in the third respondent school, filed this writ petition seeking Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not allowing them to perform their duties as illegal and arbitrary. 2. Petitioners 1 and 2 and the third petitioner, who were appointed as SGBT teachers and Hindi Pandit respectively, in the third respondent school, worked for certain period. It is their case that the school was closed for summer vacation in May, 1996 and when the school was reopened in June, 1996, they reported to duty; however they were not allowed to attend duties. 3. It is to be seen that, petitioners were not appointed against any regular vacancies by a selection committee by following regular procedure. They were only appointed on temporary basis. As much as the petitioners were appointed on temporary basis, they do not have any right to continue as such. Further, the writ petition is of the year 1996 and no interim orders have been passed to continue them in service. In that view of the matter, I do not find any valid ground to grant relief as prayed for. 4. The writ petition is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. September 19, 2006 MRR
