ORDER

¶67

The petitioners are before this Court seeking for the following reliefs:

¶68

a. "To issue a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash the impugned notification No.Ka.Shi.E/Nevi1/A.U.Aa/97/2021-22 dated 03.01.2023 inviting the application for Guest Lecturer vide Annexure-C.

¶69

¶70

¶71

d. Pass such orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit in the facts and circumstances of the case as in duty bound the petitioners shall ever pray an act of kindness in the interest of justice and equity.”

¶72

Sri. S.Venkatesh, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that similarly situate Guest Lecturers had approached this Court in several matters and in W.P.No.103091/2022 disposed of on 09.11.2022 directed the respondent-institutions to continue the petitioners therein as Guest Lecturers till completion of the academic year. He submits that the said order

¶74

WP No. 200925 of 2023

¶75

has been followed in various other subsequent Writ Petitions in W.P.No.1002/2023 and connected matters disposed of on 28.02.2023, W.P.No.101219/2023 disposed of on 23.02.2023 and W.P.No.100350/2023 disposed of on 09.02.2023.

¶76

Though the order passed in W.P.No.103091/2022 has not been produced, the other orders have been produced which indicate that this Court had directed the respondents not to disturb the petitioners therein till the completion of the academic year. The order having been passed on 28.02.2023, the academic year would necessarily mean 2022-2023. In that view of the matter, I pass the following:

¶77

ORDER

¶78

i. The Writ Petition is disposed with a direction to the respondents not to disturb the petitioners until completion of the academic year 2022-2023.

¶79

¶80

WP No. 200925 of 2023

ii. Liberty is however reserved to the petitioners to raise their grievance insofar as regularization of services is concerned in appropriate forum by initiating appropriate proceedings.
