IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No. 3908 of 2009. Decided on: 15th November, 2010. Jagdish Chand. .….. Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. & others. …. .. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge. For the petitioner : Mr. YPS Dhaulta, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. Advocate General, for respondents No.1 & 2. Mr. Adarsh Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner is a PTA teacher. He is aggrieved since he has been replaced by a regular teacher. The PTA appointment itself is ad hoc arrangement until regular hand joins duty. However, it is the submission of the petitioner that there are vacant posts available to accommodate the regular hand in the nearby Schools. The petitioner being a PTA teacher cannot be accommodated anywhere else whereas the regular teacher can be accommodated in such places. This aspect the petitioner may point out before the second respondent and in case there are vacant posts available to accommodate the regular teacher, appropriate orders be passed for permitting the petitioner to be re- 2 engaged as PTA teacher until a regular teacher for whom there is no other vacancy in the nearby Schools is posted. 2. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 15th November, 2010 (Justice V.K. Ahuja), (tr) Judge.
