Petitioner was appointed as Lecturer (History) in the Government Senior Secondary School, Bathri with effect from 23.7.1998 to 26.10.1998. He was relieved from his duties as Lecturer (History) on 26.10.1998 on account of joining by a regular Lecturer in the School. Mr. M. C. Verma has vehemently argued that his client was required to be reinstated as per the directions issued by this Court 1 Whether reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? . No. 2 in CWP No. 415/2000 as reproduced in Annexure A-4 by the learned Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal dated 29.12.2000. Mr. R.K. Sharma, learned Senior Additional Advocate General has strenuously argued that no directions can be issued at this belated stage. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the pleadings. Petitioner has only worked for three months i.e. 23.7.1998 to 26.10.1998. His appointment was on contractual basis. He was relieved after the joining by a regular Lecturer in the School. Petitioner’s case is that he had approached this Court by way of CWP No. 415/2000. Petitioner has not placed on record copy of the order passed in CWP No. 415/2000. He has only placed on record copy of order dated 29.12.2000 passed by the learned Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal in which order passed in CWP No. 415/2000 dated 19.9.2000 is reproduced. Petitioner has not annexed the memo of parties along with this order. However, the fact of the matter is that the order passed by this Court in CWP No. 415/2000 was interim order. There is no material placed on record to ascertain whether the vacancies of Lecturers (History) are still available with the respondent-State or not. He was disengaged about 12 years back. We are in 2010. Consequently, no directions can be issued to the respondents to re-engage the petitioner at this belated stage. 3 Consequently, there is no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed. (Rajiv Sharma), Judge 30.3.2010 *awasthi*
