KULWANT SINGH Vs. STATE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) By way of this petition, the petitioner has, inter alia, prayed for the following reliefs:-

(2.) The case of the petitioner is that he was initially appointed as Computer Teacher in the then GHS Tatehal, District Kangra, H.P., on 03.06.2005, vide Annexure P-1, referred to in the petition as GSSS Tatehal as subsequently the School was upgraded. His salary was Rs.1,000/- per month. He continued to serve, as such, till the month of March, 2013, when his services were dispensed with on the appointment of regular incumbent. His contention is that he has a right to be regularized against the post in issue and he also has a right to be received grant-in-aid by setting aside the impugned rejection order dated 03.04.2017.

(3.) Though, during the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has not pressed the relief for regularization, however, he has argued that as the petitioner served in the School after he was appointed by the Parents Teachers Association in the School concerned against the post of Computer Teacher, the act of denying grant-in-aid to him from 03.06.2005 till he served as such, is arbitrary and accordingly, learned counsel has submitted that this writ petition be allowed by directing the respondents to pay grantin-aid to the petitioner for the period, he served as Computer Teacher.
