Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner was duly selected in the selection process in the unaided post and thereafter as and when the vacancy arises in the aided post, the petitioner has to be absorbed in the aided vacancy and therefore, the third respondent made recommendations to the fourth respondent to absorb the petitioner. He further contended that since no action has been taken by the fourth respondent on the recommendations made by the third respondent, the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition. On the other hand, learned Government Pleader for Higher Education contended that there is procedure for selecting the candidates to the posts of aided vacancy and the fourth respondent has to follow the procedure in accordance with rules and regulations. Hence, she contended that the petitioner has no right to claim for absorption in the aided vacancy of the first and second respondents’ college. Learned Counsel for the petitioner brought to the notice of this court, the proceedings dated 10-03-2003, issued by the Commissioner and Director of Collegiate Education-third respondent herein, directing the second respondent to submit certain information regarding the procedure followed for recruiting the candidates in aided posts, and the second respondent through his letter dated 27- 03-2003 clarified all the information required by third respondent. He also further submits that though the said information was submitted three months back, no action has been taken by the third respondent in absorbing the petitioner into grant-in-aid vacancy as lecturer in the same college. Hence, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for absorption into grant-in-aid vacancy with reference to the proposals submitted by the first and second respondents and also in accordance with the rules and regulations, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
