CWP (T) No. 12684 of 2008. 23.11.2009. Present: Ms. Madhu Sharma, Advocate vice counsel for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Addl. Advocate General, with Mr. Anil Jaswal, Deputy Advocate General, for the respondents. The petitioner was appointed as JBT teacher on contract basis on 15.3.1997. She remained absent from duty w.e.f. 10.3.2001. She was served with a notice by the Block Primary Education Officer. However, she did not join her duties. The contract of the petitioner was not renwed after the academic session 2002. The case of the petitioner is that she may be permitted to join her duties. We are of the considered view that once the petitioner has abandoned the job on 10.3.2001, she could not be permitted to join her duties in the year 2004. Moreover, she has filed the present writ petition in the year 2005 though she is absent from duties since 10.3.2001. The plea of the petitioner that she could not join her duties due to injury cannot be accepted. She should have informed the authorities in case she had met with an accident in the year 2001. Consequently, there is no merit in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. (R.B. Misra), ACJ. 23rd November, 2009. (Rajiv Sharma), J. (tr)
