An-nexure-8 to the writ petition and for a man damus directing the respondents to permit the petitioner to continue to function as an ad hoc teacher in Lecturer's grade in Hindi in National Inter College, Harraiya, district Basti and to pay the arrears of salary to him.

(2.) I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel. It is alleged in Paragraph 2 of the writ petition that a substantive vacancy of lecturer had occurred on the retirement of a permanent lecturer on 30-6-1987. The petitioner had been working as L. T. grade teacher since August 1970. On 2-4-1991 the petitioner wrote an application to the Manager requesting for his promotion as lecturer in Hindi. He sent another application on 24-4-1991. True copies of the said applications are Annexures 1, 2 and 3 to the writ petition. Thereafter, the Committee of Management promoted the petitioner vide resolution dated 30-6-1991 and promotion letter dated 1-7-1991 was issued, true copy of which is Annexure-4. Thereafter the Committee of Management sent the papers for approval to the District Inspector of School on 1-7-1991 vide Annexure 5 to the petition. How ever, despite several reminders the District Inspector of Schools did not give approval to the petitioner's promotion and the petitioner was not being paid salary of lec turer. The petitioner made a representation to the District Inspector of Schools which was rejected on 23-11-1993. Hence this peti tion.
