ORAL JUDGMENT
1] This petition seeks direction to the respondents
to pay the salary to the petitioner on the post of Head
2 wp774.02.odt
Mistress from the date of appointment i.e. 01.07.1999 till the
filing of the petition on 23/24.01.2002. The appointment was
in the Ashram School in respect of which there is no dispute.
However, after going through the averments made in the
petition and the reply filed by the Special District Social
Welfare Officer, it seems that the appointment of the
petitioner was not regular appointment, but was on the
honorarium of Rs.2,500/- per month. The appointment was
restricted for the year 1999-2000 and in the year 2000-01,
the petitioner refused to accept the honorarium with
unreasonable demand. The petitioner has not produced
even the order of appointment to find out as to the nature of
the appointment or salary payable to her. According to the
petitioner, no such order of appointment was issued. The
approval to the appointment of the petitioner was also not
granted. The petitioner is out of employment since
12.01.2002.
2] In such a situation, various disputed questions of
fact are involved and it is, therefore, not possible for us to
issue mandamus to the respondents to pay the salary to the
petitioner in the scale of pay available to the post of Assistant
3 wp774.02.odt
Teacher. The petition is dismissed.
Rule is discharged. No order as to costs.
