For respondents No. 1 to 4. : Mr. P.M. Negi, Deputy Advocate General with Mr. R.P. Singh, Assistant Advocate General. None for respondent No. 5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajiv Sharma, Judge (Oral): The claim of the petitioner, in a nut-shell, is that since the private School has been taken over, his services are also liable to be taken over. However, it has come in the reply that in fact vide notification dated 08.08.1997, the Government has upgraded Government Middle School Pressi to Government High School Pressi and has not taken over the privately managed High School Pressi. Since it is a case of up-gradation and not taking over, no directions can be issued to the respondents to take over the services of the petitioner. 2. Accordingly, there is no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge September 06, 2010.
