(iv) Issue any other writ, order or direction, which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. (v) Award costs of the petition in favour of the petitioner. The facts as narrated in the writ petition are that petitioner was appointed as Teacher (Civics) for students of High School, some times in the year 2000 – 01 under PTA Scheme/ by Management. However, in the year 2005 as stated by the petitioner he was appointed under PTA Scheme / by Management to teach Civics to students of Intermediate Class. Petitioner has challenged the advertisement dated 15.02.2006 issued to fill up the post of Lecturer (Civics) which is being held by petitioner. Government Order dated 26.11.2005 provides that posts, which are being held by the persons duly appointed under PTA Scheme prior to 20.09.2003 and are getting honorarium should not be filled. Since the petitioner is appointed as Lecturer (Civics) under PTA Scheme/ by Management in the year 2005 he cannot get benefit of Government Order dated 26.11.2005. Writ petition is devoid of merit, as such is dismissed, in limine. No order as to costs. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J) July 25, 2006 SKSharma
