THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA W.P.No. 2564 of 2006 Date: 20.01.2011 Between : 1. Dr.R.Adi Reddy, S/o.Raghava Reddy, Aged 42 years, R/o.Balasamudram Working as Part Time Lecturer in History Kakatiya University, Warangal & another. … Petitioners And 1. Kakatiya University Rep. By its Registrar Vidyaranapuri, Warangal –506009 & 2 others. … Respondents ORDER: The petitioners are the part time lecturers and are teaching the subject of History in the 2nd and 3rd respondents - colleges. Their grievance is that the 2nd and 3rd respondents are taking active steps to dispense with their services and fresh employment to another set of part time lecturers. The learned counsel submits that this practice of dispensing with the part time lecturers and replacing them by another set of part time lecturers is wholly illegal and that the petitioners should not be displaced. Counsel for the respondents submits that as the appointment of the petitioners is contractual in nature, they have no right to seek continuance as part time lecturers. After hearing the counsel for the parties, I am of the considered opinion that the petitioners cannot be replaced by some other persons in the capacity of part time lecturers. In case, there is work available with 2nd and 3rd respondents and the services of part time lecturers are required, then the petitioners shall be given preference and shall not be replaced with some other part time lecturers. However, in case, there is no work with the respondents in the subjects in which the petitioners are teaching, then in that event, the services of the petitioners can be dispensed with. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Dt: 20th January, 2011 Ysk/Rns HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA W.P.NO. 2564 OF 2006 20th January, 2011 Ysk/Rns
