New Delhi (ILNS): The Madhya Pradesh High Court today dismissed the petition of a person seeking appointment to the post of Guest Teacher, because he did not have an appointment letter. The court also made it clear that appointment cannot be sought merely because the name is mentioned in the list of selected applicants. For this, the issue of an appointment letter is also necessary.
The division bench of Chief Justice Sanjay Yadav (Acting) and Justice Vijay Kumar Shukla was hearing advocate Sandeep Kumar Mishra, on behalf of petitioner Sunil Kumar Sharma.
The counsel argued that the petitioner is an MPhil degree holder and has done commendable performance in the field of sports. He appeared in the online examination of guest Teacher in 2018-19. He was successful, but was not provided with an appointment letter. Therefore, an order for the appointment should be issued.
Deputy Advocate General Swapnil Ganguly appeared on behalf of the state. He opposed the petition to the point of lack of appointment letter.
The court agreed with the argument and dismissed the petition. The court made it clear that even if the petitioner appeared in the examination and was successful, he should have an appointment letter. If the petition had been filed with the appointment letter, the petition could have been called meaningful and a relief order could have been given. But it was a mistake to file an incomplete petition. That is why the petition is dismissed.
