JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS application is at the instance of an Ex Guest Lecturer and is filed for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to cancel the order dated January 4, 2013 issued by the respondent no.5 and to allow the petitioner to continue as Guest Lecturer on a remuneration as per resolution of the respondent no.4 with effect from the date of such resolution and other consequential reliefs.

THE petitioner has contended that he is an M.A. in Vocal Music from the Rabindra Bharati University, M.A. in Musicology from the Rabindra Bharati University, NET qualified in Music in 2002 and now doing Ph.D under the UGC norms on Musicology over the ages. He had been working as Guest Lecturer in Musicology from 2004 till the recent time when by the letter dated January 4, 2013, the respondent, teacher-in-charge informed the petitioner that he should be restrained from taking assigned classes in the department of Musicology. Being aggrieved by such order this application has been preferred.

(3.) IT is also noted that the petitioner filed a reply denying the contention raised in the affidavit-in-opposition. Now, the question is whether the order dated January 4, 2013 is bad in law and if the respondents are justified by not paying the remuneration to the petitioner.
