that for the current session of 2023-24, advertisement have been issued at the District level, to appoint/engage the Guest faculty afresh for various subjects, in different educational institutions of the Higher Education in the State of Rajasthan but he submits that fresh applications have been invited and out of total number of aspirants whosoever would apply and would be found more meritorious, expert and experienced, coupled with having the requisite qualification, would be engaged on the basis of merit. It has been urged that since the engagement of Guest faculty in the Vidya Sambal Scheme is not akin to an appointment against the vacant post, petitioners are not entitled to claim their engagement to continue in the present session as well, more particularly where engagement of petitioners in the previous session was under the agreed terms of the scheme that petitioners would not claim any right of regularization and the engagement as Guest faculty in only a temporarily arrangement for that particular semester/session or till the regular selected candidates is made available on the post, and engagement shall come to an end automatically with the end of that session. Learned AAG states that it is true that since new colleges/universities have also been established, in the intervening period after 2021-22 and 2022-23, therefore, the number of required Guest faculty have been increased but their engagement is always subject need in the respective college for particular session, according to the strength of students and strength of available regular selected Teachers and vacancies.
