RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.28855 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of November, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Guest Lecturer in the Department of Malayalam under the respondent University. It is submitted that the petitioner actually joined the Department as Contract Lecturer on 10.06.1997 which was later changed to Guest Lecturership with different scales of remuneration and one of the orders has been produced as Ext.P2. 2. According to the petitioner, in the light of the long and continuing experience of more than 14 years as Guest Lecturer as well as academic credits and awards for literary works, he is having a legitimate claim for being absorbed as permanent Lecturer in Malayalam in the respondent University and Ext.P5 is the representation submitted by the petitioner in that regard. It is pointed out that by Ext.P4 judgment, in the case of one Dr.Sreelatha Varma, this Court has issued a direction to the University to consider the representation. W.P.(C) No.28855/2011 2 3. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the University. It is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel for the University that the representation is only dated 05.10.2011. I am not expressing anything on the merits of the claim of the petitioner. The appointing authority is the Syndicate of the University. Therefore, it is upto the Syndicate to take a decision in accordance with law. In that view of the matter, the representation will be placed before the Syndicate and an appropriate decision will be taken in accordance with law within a further period of three months. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
