The petitioner has been working as teacher on the basis of engagement by the Parents Teachers Association. He is aggrieved since he has been substituted by another teacher appointed on transfer by the third respondent. According to the petitioner, the fifth respondent is not liable to be transferred and posted in his place since the fifth respondent is a contract teacher.
