The petitioner, by means of the present writ petition, has only prayed that the post of Assistant Teacher (Veda) be created in “Sri Jairam Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya, Rishikesh”. The school is admittedly under grant-in-aid of State Government. Although primary objection has been raised by the learned State Counsel Sri Sudhir Kumar about the maintainability of the writ petition, since the said prayer is not by the management committee or school, but by the petitioner who has no locus standi in the matter. However, since the petitioner has been able to convince this Court that there are recommendations by the District Education Officer to this effect, it is directed that the Secretary of School Education, Dehradun i.e. respondent no. 1 shall look into the matter personally and take a decision on it, one way or the other. It is clarified that by this order, the petitioner is given no right to be absorbed or appointed, if the post of Assistant Teaher (Veda) is at all created. With the aforesaid observations, writ petition is disposed of finally. 2 No order as to costs. The State Counsel ensures to send a copy of this order to the Secretary of School Education, Dehradun.
