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.

                           JUDGE                                      JUDGE
