PREM CHANDRA Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard.

(2.) The petitioner herein had earlier approached this court by means of writ petition no.9473(SS) of 2016 seeking a writ of mandamus for being allowed to officiate as Principal in the respondent-Intermediate College in view of the provision contained in Section 18 of the U.P. Secondary Education Services Selection Board Act 1982 (hereinafter referred as 'Act of 1982'). The said writ petition was disposed of vide judgment dated 3.5.2016. For the reasons mentioned therein following arrangement was made under the orders of this court:

(3.) It appears that prior to passing of the said judgment on 3.5.2016 the Committee of Management which comprised of the District Magistrate and S.D.M. etc. had already taken a decision on 13.4.2016 for the appointment of opposite party no.8 as officiating Principal, although the petitioner herein claims that this resolution has been prepared subsequently. The opposite party no.8 is placed at serial no.4 in the seniority list of Lecturer Grade; the petitioner is placed at serial no.1. There is no dispute in this regard that the persons at serial nos.2 and 3 namely Sandhya Srivastava and Ram Vilas have not come forward to challenge the decision impugned herein.
