THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 27267 of 2005 DATED: 26.12.2005 Between: G.Ranga Rao. … PETITIONER AND The Secretary and others. … RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner claims to have been appointed as an Associate Professor in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, on ad hoc basis, in Sri Venkateswara Engineering College, Suryapet, 3rd respondent herein, on 08.09.2003. He feels aggrieved by the order, dated 25.05.2005, passed by the 3rd respondent, discontinuing him from service. It is alleged that the 3rd respondent did not follow the procedure prescribed under the Andhra Pradesh Education Act, 1982 (for short ‘the Act’). Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Technical Education. Admittedly, the 3rd respondent-College is a Private Un-aided Institution. By no stretch of imagination, it can be brought under the purview of the definition of “State” under Article 12 of the Constitution of India. Even assuming that there is any infraction of the procedure prescribed under the Act, the petitioner has to avail the remedies prescribed therein. Therefore, the Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to work out his remedies, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 26.12.2005 Jsu
