HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21485 OF 2002 ORDER: The petitioner was engaged as a Lecturer in Commerce by the 4th respondent, a private Educational Institution, in the year 1998. However, his appointment was not in accordance with the procedure prescribed by the Government. It is stated that on account of the retirement of an incumbent, holing an aided post, it has fallen vacant, and that the petitioner is working against it. His grievance is that the respondents have not regularized his services against the aided vacancy. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Higher Education and the learned counsel for the 4th respondent. 3. It is only when a lecturer is appointed against an unaided vacancy, after the selection in terms of relevant Government orders, that his case can be considered for absorption against an aided vacancy. Admittedly, the petitioner was not selected by the Selection Committee, much less, unaided post was advertised. Further the ban imposed by the Government against the appointment or absorption against the aided vacancy is operating. 4. Under these circumstances, the direction as prayed for by the petitioner cannot be issued. However, in case the petitioner is working in an unaided post of lecturer, the 3rd respondent cannot remove him except by following the procedure as prescribed in law. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the 4th respondent shall continue the petitioner in the same capacity as he is holding now, as long as the workload remains, and the petitioner is not found guilty of any misconduct. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J December 29, 2010. KTL
