The policy decision taken by the State Govt. cannot be gone into. The writ petition is dismissed. However, as and when financial provisions are made, question of provisions are made, question of creation of post in the petitioner institution shall remain open. "

"On the contrary, the appellants want creation of some additional post of teachers which has been refused by the Director of Education (Basic) on the ground that the state government has not made any financial provision for the same. Learned counsel for the appellants has failed to show that the appellants have any legal right to claim creation of additional posts. In this view of the matter, we find no merit in the Special Appeal which is hereby dismissed at the admission stage.
