IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No. 1012 of 2008. Decided on: 23.11.2010. Subhash Chander …..Petitioner. vs. State of H.P. & Ors. …..Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge. For the petitioner: Mr.Dalip K.Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Additional Advocate General, for respondents No. 1 to 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner is aggrieved since he has been replaced by a regular teacher. According to the petitioner, regular teacher can be accommodated in schools where there are open vacancies, whereas teachers like the petitioner, who is on PTA basis, cannot be transferred to another school. But the fact remains that the PTA is an ad hoc arrangement only and as soon as a regular teacher is appointed, the PTA teacher has to give way to the regular teacher. However, in case there are still open vacancies available in the school, it will be open to the petitioner to point out the same before the Director and the Director will make an attempt to see whether the regular teacher can be accommodated in that 2 vacancy and in which case, Parents Teacher Association shall re-engage the petitioner. 2. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. November 23, 2010. (Justice V.K. Ahuja), (tilak/pankaj) Judge.
