Rajbinder Singh. Vs. State of Punjab & Ors.
Removal from service – Ad hoc lecturer – Appointment for a term only – Deprived of vacation salary – Fresh people appointed every time – Ad hoc teachers to continue in service until regular selections are made by the P.S.C.
1. The Petitioner is an ad hoc lecturer. He was appointed for a term. His grievance is that he is likely to be removed from service so that he may be deprived of his vacation salary. It appears that the practice of the respondents is to appoint fresh people every time.
2. This Court in a number of writ petitions (W.P. 125/87 and 317/1987) has allowed the ad hoc teachers to continue in service while person regularly selected by the P.S.C. are appointed to the posts. The respondent ought to extend the benefit of that order to all other ad hoc lecturers. It is not proper to drive them to this court for securing similar relief. We make it clear that the petitioner and other similar ad hoc teachers are entitled to the benefit of the order of this court made in the aforesaid writ petition.
Petition allowed.
