DHUNNU LAL Vs. VICE CHANCELLOR ALLAHABAD UNIVERSITY

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS writ petition has been filed challenging the order of terminating the service of the petitioner. J have heard the learned counsel for the parties and am disposing of the writ petition finally.

(2.) THE petitioner was appointed on daily wage basis on 9-5-89 as peon in the Library Department, Allahabad University, Allahabad and he worked till 21-12-90 as stated in para 5 of the writ petition but thereafter he was not permitted to sign the attendance register.

(3.) IN my opinion, this petition is liable to be dismissed on the ground that the petitioner was never appointed by the proper authority. The learned counsel for the petitioner has quoted Statute 2.06 of the First Statute of the Allahabad University in para 4 of the rejoinder affidavit and on the basis of the same has urged that the Librarian is the appointing authority. Statute 2.06 only says that the Registrar has disciplinary control over all employees of the University other than officers, teachers, the Librarian and some other employees. The provision, therefore, does not say that the Librarian is the appointing authority of the peon working under him.
