The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner was appointed as Lecturer in Civics on contract basis and the validity of the contract period is up to 28-02-2005 and since the date of his appointment the petitioner has been discharging his duties. Contrary to the terms of the contract of agreement, the petitioner was orally instructed not to attend the classes from 10-01-2005. The act of the respondents in terminating the services of the petitioner orally is contrary to the terms of contract of agreement, which is in force till 28-02-2005. On the other hand, the learned Government Pleader representing the respondents contended that as per the agreement, the petitioner shall continue till 28-02-2005, or the contract of employment can be terminated when a regular selected person was taken charge. She further contended that a regular selected person has assumed as a Lecturer in Civics on 08-01-2005. It is very clear from the contract of employment, the validity of the contract period is up to 28-02-2005 or before regularly selected person assumes office. As the regularly selected person took charge as Lecturer in Civics on 08-01-2005,the termination cannot be said to be in violation of the agreement entered in between the petitioner and the respondents. However, it is not shown that discontinuing the petitioner, as a Civics Lecturer, is contrary to the agreement made between the petitioner and the respondents. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________ K.C.BHANU,J 17th January 2005 *TSNR TO 1 The Government Junior College, Wankidi, Adilabad District, Rep. by its Principal. 2 The Director of Intermediate Education, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Nampally, Hyderabad. 3 The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Secretary, Department of Higher Education, Secretariat, Hyderabad. 4 The Regional Joint Director , Intermediate Education, Warangal 5.
