THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 19559 OF 2010 O R D E R: The petitioners claim to have been engaged as Teachers on contract basis by the 2nd respondent herein. It appears that respondent No.2 initiated steps for appointment of Lecturers and Teachers on regular basis. This writ petition is filed with a prayer to direct the 2nd respondent to regularize the services of the petitioners and not to replace them with other candidates. Heard Sri K.R. Sasidharan Nair, learned counsel for the writ petitioners and Sri K.Durga Prasad, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Though the petitioners contend that they have been engaged as Contract Teachers, nothing is placed before this Court to substantiate that. No written orders were passed by the respondents appointing the petitioners and nothing is placed before this Court to disclose that any remuneration was paid. In this scenario, it is difficult to treat the petitioners as employees of the 2nd respondent on temporary basis. It is brought to the notice of this Court that the 2nd respondent has issued a notification for appointing Lecturers and Teachers in the residential institutions. In case the petitioners are eligible, they can submit applications and if they have got any experience behind them, it would certainly be useful. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioners to submit applications in response to a notification that may be issued by the 2nd respondent for appointment to the post of Teachers. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 19th January 2011 ksld
