Verma, Deputy Advocate General and Mr. Anil Jaswal, Deputy Advocate General for respondents No.1 to 3. The petitioner was appointed as a Cutting and Tailoring Teacher by Gram Panchayat, Bangoli with effect from 1995 to 5.4.2001. The State Government has issued notification dated 4.9.2000. It is stipulated in the notification that appointment of Tailoring Teacher in Gram Panchayat shall be made on contract for one year by a Selection Committee. Accordingly, there is no automatic renewal of contract after the expiry of one year. The petitioner was appointed for one year in the year 1995 and thereafter her contract was renewed from time to time. Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? No. …2… Thereafter the petitioner had appeared in the fresh interview conducted by the Selection Committee. Though both the candidates, i.e. the petitioner as well as respondent No.5 secured equal marks, but according to notification dated 4.9.2000, preference was given to respondent No.5 as her husband is not in Government service and the husband of the petitioner is serving in Government department. The suitability of respondent No.5 has been adjudged by a duly constituted Selection Committee. The appointment of the petitioner was for a period of one year and this Court cannot enlarge the period by re-writing the contract. Accordingly, there is no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (R.B. Misra) Acting Chief Justice. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge. October 22, 2009. (sck)
