P.Arul Deva Paul v. The Regional Joint Director of Collegiate Education

ORDER Heard the learned counsel on either side.

¶2The petitioner was appointed in the fifth respondent college as Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Education under self financing scheme. The fifth respondent is an aided minority institution. Seeking regularization in the said post, the present writ petition has been filed.

3.When the matter was taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the respondents 3 to 5 submitted that in view of the subsequent development, the matter has become infructuous. It is pointed out that the petitioner was appointed as a management staff on 04.04.2022. The question of regularizing the petitioner does not arise at all. The relief of regularization is sought in writ proceedings only against the Government. As the petitioner was appointed under the self-financing scheme, the question of directing regularization in the said post does not arise at all. As and when vacancies arises in future, I certain that the petitioner's case also will be considered as per the diocesan norms. There is no question of granting relief at this stage.

¶4With these observations, this writ petition is disposed of.
