This Writ Petition has been filed only against the consequential order dated 18.12.2017, appointing the petitioner as a surplus Assistant Professor in the place mentioned on deputation basis for a period of three year, subject to the terms and conditions as laid down in the G.O.Ms.No.270 Higher Education (H1) Department, dated 19.09.2017 and Proceedings of the Registrar, Anna University, Chennai Procs.No.:001/PR10 & 20/2017, dated 28.11.2017.

2.Unfortunately, the petitioner has not questioned the original order issued in G.O.Ms.No.270 Higher Education (H1) Department, dated 19.09.2017 and consequential order passed in Proceedings of the Registrar, Anna University, Chennai Procs.No.:001/PR10 & 20/2017, dated 28.11.2017. It is only the second consequential order alone has been challenged by the petitioner by which he has been posted as surplus Assistant Professor in the place mentioned on deputation basis for a period of three year, subject to the terms and conditions as laid down in G.O.Ms.No.270 Higher Education (H1) Department, dated 19.09.2017 and Proceedings of the Registrar, Anna University, Chennai Procs.No.:001/PR10 & 20/2017, dated 28.11.2017.

¶18

3.However, this Court, without knowing as to what are all the terms and conditions laid down in the G.O.Ms.No.270 Higher Education (H1) Department, dated 19.09.2017 and Proceedings of the Registrar, Anna University, Chennai Procs.No.:001/PR10 & 20/2017, dated 28.11.2017, which went unnoticed and unchallenged, cannot entertain this writ petition. Therefore, this petition fails and the same is liable to be dismissed.
