M B JAYANTHI Vs. P REKHA EVANGELINE

Decided On November 29, 2004
M.B.JAYANTHI, IN-CHARGE PRINCIPAL, CBM, JUNIOR COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, KAKINADA Appellant
V/S
P.REKHA EVANGELINE, JUNIOR LECTURER, CBM, JUNIOR COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, KAKINADA Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Both the Writ Appeals arise out of the order passed by the learned single Judge in Writ Petition No. 19746 of 2003, dated 20-7-2004.

(2.) The matter relates to appointment to the post of Principal in C.B.M. Junior College for Women, Kakinada, East Godavari District. While Mrs.M.B. Jayanthi claims to be senior, equally Mrs.P.Rekha Evangeline also claims the post of Principal on the basis that she is the senior. The learned single Judge, however, taking into consideration the respective claims, disposed of the Writ Petition with the following directions:

(3.) The grievance of the writ appellants is that though learned single Judge recorded a finding with regard to the seniority of the 1 st respondent-Mrs. Rekha Evangeline, while in fact there was no such determination of seniority at any point of time and therefore the learned single Judge ought not to have recorded such a finding. Admittedly the petitioner is the senior most Junior Lecturer in the College.
