THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27065 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner claims that he has worked as contract lecturer in Government Vocational Junior College, Mahaboobnagar from 2008 to 2010. The 1st respondent issued guidelines in memo, dated 16.05.2008, directing inter alia that before fresh candidates are considered for appointment as lecturers on contract basis, the cases of the displaced or transferred contract lecturers must be considered in preference. Through another memo, dated 29.06.2011, the 1st respondent directed that all contract lecturers, who were disturbed during the current academic year, should be accommodated, if they have achieved required results. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the said condition. According to him, the candidates with hardly few months experience are being preferred to those who have experience of years together. Heard Sri S.Gopal Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education. The appointment of lecturers on contract basis itself is a temporary phenomenon. The appointments are made each time for a limited period of maximum one year. The guidelines are issued in the context of making appointments after completion of the term of contract. It is not in dispute that the indiscriminate replacement of persons, who are already engaged as lecturers on contract basis, would lead to uncertainty and in turn would effect the standards of the institution. The petitioner might have worked for certain period. For one reason or the other, he was not employed in the previous academic year. His claim that he being more experienced than the persons who are appointed in the previous academic year, he must be given preference cannot be accepted. At the same time, if any fresh vacancy arises, the case of the petitioner certainly deserves to be considered and the experience gained by him must be taken into account. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that in case any appointments on contractual basis are made, against fresh vacancies, the case of the petitioner shall be considered duly taking into account the experience, which he had as contract lecturer. There shall be no order as to costs. L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:28.09.2011. lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27065 of 2011 Dt. 28.09.2011
