DATE : 29th June 2005 DATE : 29th June 2005 DATE : 29th June 2005 P.C. : P.C. : P.C. : 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioner has been working as a Lecturer in English in the college run by Omkar Shikshan Prasarak Mandal at Gadhinglaj, Kolhapur. It is her case that she has been so teaching from July 1998 onwards. Interviews were held later-on for regularisation of her appointment as well as many other appointments in July 2000. It appears that there was an incident of kidnapping of a candidate and, therefore, the University decided to cancel the interviews. 3. This petition is filed pointing out that the kidnapping was of a candidate who was to -2- appear for selection for the post of Lecturer in Marathi and the petitioner was a Lecturer in English. It has, however, been pointed out that this cancellation resulted in cancellation of the interviews for the other posts also and two other Lecturers / candidates viz. S/Shri J.S. Jadhav and A.J. Makandar had filed Writ Petition Nos.1735 of 2002 and 1737 of 2002 respectively. Mr.Ingawale, who had appeared in those matters, fairly points out that another Division Bench accepted the reasons given by the University for cancellation of all the interviews and dismissed those petitions on 29th August 2002. Inasmuch as the interview for the post of Lecturers in English was also to be held along with those two other interviews, we do not think that we can separate this particular post from the other posts. The petition will, therefore, stand dismissed. (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (SMT. R.S.DALVI, J.) (SMT. R.S.DALVI, J.) (SMT. R.S.DALVI, J.)
