(1.) HEARD learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos. 1 and 3 and learned counsel for the respondent No. 2, U.P. Secondary Education Services Selection Board, Allahabad.
(2.) THIS writ petition is directed against recommendation/panel dated 24.1.2009 sent by the Selection Board, which is Annexure-7 to the writ petition. Through the said recommendation/panel, Sri Madhav Prasad Singh, respondent No. 5 in this writ petition after being selected has been sent for being appointed as Principal in the college in question, i.e. Baba Indramani Uchchattar Madhyamik Vidyalay Tikar, District Deoria. Petitioner is working as ad hoc Principal by virtue of being senior most lecturer since 1998. Argument of learned counsel for the petitioner is that a Government Order dated 9.1.2009, copy of which is Annexure-6 to the writ petition, has imposed ban upon (stayed) the further proceedings in respect of selection of Principals by the Selection Board as the Government is considering to regularise the services of officiating Principals in secondary schools/colleges. Learned counsel for the petitioner further states that an Act amending/adding requisite provision for regularisation in U.P. Secondary Education Service Selection Board Act, 1982 is also in the officiating and likely to be passed by the legislature very soon. Learned counsel therefore argues that if respondent No. 5 joins then chances are that claim of petitioner for regularisation would come to an end.
