The petitioners are working as Guest Faculty in the different Government Colleges, namely, respondent No.3 to 7. (2). During the course of hearing one of the solitary relief pressed upon on their behalf is that they should not be replaced by another Guest Faculty and they may be allowed to continue so long as their services are required. (3). Learned State counsel, on instructions, states that subject to fulfillment of eligibility and availability of CWP No.3175 of 2009.doc - 2 – work, the petitioners shall be allowed to work as Guest Faculty. (4). As regards the petitioner No.4, it appears that she was relieved from the assignment of Guest Faculty and someone else has been adjusted against her. If that is so, then petitioner No.4, namely, Dipti Kaundal may approach the Principal of the College concerned, who shall then immediately employ her as Guest Faculty, however, subject to her eligibility and availability of work. It is made clear that it shall be presumed that the petitioners have a preferential right as against the employees appointed subsequent to their relieving. (5). With these observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. (6). Ordered accordingly. (7). Dasti . (SURYA KANT) JUDGE 18.02.2010 vishal shonkar
