Sri Lalit Miglani, Advocate, present for the Petitioner. Sri Paresh Tripathi, Brief Holder, present for State-respondents. Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent authorities to grant the petitioner benefit of Government Order dated 30th November 2007 (annexure 4 to the writ petition) for her re-employment 2 till the end of academic session of 2008-09 i.e. up to 31st March 2009. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner was Lecturer in Hindi in Shree Anandmayee Sewa Sadan Municipal Mahila Inter College, Haridwar (Aided institution run by respondent no. 5). Admittedly, she attained age of superannuation on completion of 60 years on 04.05.2006. Learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that the petitioner was given National Award for Teachers in the year 2004 (copy annexure 1 to the writ petition) and as per the Government Order No. 1772/15 (14) 30/67/7, dated 6th May 1982, she was given two years extension in service, after attaining age of superannuation. The petitioner has served for said extended period also. Now the petitioner wants that she should be re-employed in view of Government Order No. 694/XXIV-2/2007, dated 30th November 2007 (copy annexure 4 to the writ petition), permitting her to work till the end of academic session of 2008-09 i.e. up to 31st March 2009. The plain reading of the aforesaid Government Order dated 30th November 2007 shows that a teacher in Government College or Aided Institution can be re- employed till the end of academic session in the year he / she attains age of superannuation. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the view that this writ petition deserves to 3 be summarily disposed of, directing the respondent no. 2 to decide the representation, if any, made by the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is summarily disposed of with the observation that the petitioner, if she so likes, may make a representation to the respondent no. 2 i.e. Director, School Education, within a period of one week (through proper channel) and said authority may decide the same within a period of one month of receiving such representation. (Stay Application No. 5402 of 2008 also stands disposed of). (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) Dt.20.08.2008 NS
