THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No. 604 of 2004 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Secondary Grade Assistant in the Visakha Vimala Vidyalayam, Ukkunagaram, the 4th respondent herein, for the past several years. The institution is admitted to grant-in-aid. The grievance of the petitioner is that though several posts, admitted to grant-in-aid, are vacant, and though he is qualified to be absorbed against it, the respondents are not taking steps in that direction. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Education. It is no doubt true that the institution is admitted to grant-in-aid, and in the normal course of events, the petitioner is entitled to be considered for absorption, against a vacant aided post. However, the Government has imposed ban on appointment of Teachers, against aided vacancies, and it is operating for the past several years. The dispute relating thereto, is pending adjudication before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. As long as the ban operates, this Court cannot direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner, for absorption. He can renew his efforts, after the ban is lifted, or set aside by a Court of law. Hence, the writ petition is closed, leaving it open to the petitioner to make efforts for absorption, as and when the ban, imposed by the Government, is lifted or set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.23-09-2010. KO
