Eswaraiah) Heard both the counsel. The petitioner was appointed as part-time lecturer on 16- 11-1992. As per G.O.Ms.No.328, dated 15-10-1997, the part-time lecturers, who have put in continuous service of three academic years as on 30-07-1991 or five academic years as on 25-11-1993 are alone entitled to be considered for regularization of their services, subject to fulfillment of other conditions. As the petitioner did not fit into the scheme as prescribed in the aforesaid G.O., he is not entitled for regularization of his services.
