RAJNI BALA SHARMA Vs. UNIVERSITY OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) SINCE on similar set of facts same relief has been sought, both the writ petitions have been heard together and are being decided by this common order.

(2.) THE petitioners are claiming appointment as temporary lecturer as also minimum of the salary payable to a regularly selected Lecturer. THE petitioners have also prayed for directions to make regular selections to the post of Lecturers in the respondent University.

(3.) THIS Court had the occasion of examining the affairs of the respondent University so far as appointments and selections of the teaching staff in case of Dr. S. K. Kumbhaj vs. University of Rajasthan & Ors. , SB Civil Writ Petition No. 2692/1998 and connected matters decided on 9. 5. 2005. A baffling factual picture had been brought on record in the above case which has duly been referred in the judgment itself. Out of total sanctioned strength of 703 Lecturers/assistant Professors, only 287 Lecturers are working in the respondent University on adhoc temporary basis either under the working arrangement as per guidelines issued by this Court in case of Om Prakash Pareek (supra) or otherwise. Such adhoc temporary Lecturers are still continuing in service without facing any regular selection and now counting by number they are exerting all shorts of pressure for their regularization under mistaken sympathies. Even the authorities are not able to take any decision for such regularization. Obvious reason been the same is not permissible under the law and relevant regulations.
