CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A NAIK &
V.M.DESHPANDE, JJ.
DATED : 14.03.2017
O R A L J U D G M E N T (Per Smt.Vasanti A Naik, J.)
By this writ petition, the petitioners have challenged the
communication of the respondent No.7-Block Development Officer,
Panchayat Samiti, Amravati dated 11/11/2009 whereby the petitioners
have been declared as surplus teachers.
2. The writ petition is filed in the year 2009. Since we had
not granted any interim relief in favour of the petitioners, the
petitioners have joined in the zilla parishad schools in which they were
absorbed after they were declared as surplus. The petitioners are
working in the school in which they are absorbed for more than seven
years. The petitioners have challenged the order declaring them as
surplus solely on the ground that they are seniors to some of the
employees that they were not declared as surplus. However, nothing is
brought by the petitioners on record despite grant of adjournment to
1403WP5497.09-Judgment 4/4
show that in the municipal council, the junior employees need to be
declared as surplus and not the seniors. In the circumstances of the
case, in the absence of any rule supporting the right in the petitioners to
be retained in the schools in which they were working and considering
the fact that the petitioners are now working in the zilla parishad school
for more than seven years, no case for interference with the impugned
communication/order is made out.
In the circumstances of the case, we dispose of the writ
petition with no order as to costs. Rule stands discharged.
