ORDERM. Katju, J.1. This is an application praying that the Nagar Nigam, Allahabad be directed to remove the persons who are illegally squatting on/occupying the Bank road for selling vegetables (whether on retail or wholesale basis).2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has invited our attention to the Division Bench decision of this Court in Sanjay Agarwal v. Nagar Paltka, Allahabad being Writ Petition No. 3119 of 1987 decided on 20.4.1999, copy of which is Annexure-1 to the writ petition. By that judgment, the persons who were squatting illegally on Katra road were directed to shift to some other place. It appears that following the said decision, those persons have now started Illegally squatting on/ occupying the Bank road. This means that such persons who were illegally occupying one place have now started illegally occupying another place. In our opinion, this cannot be permitted. One can occupy public land only with the permission/licence from the authority concerned. We are in...

Dr. Mala Arora Vs. Director of Higher Education and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-05-2003

Reported in: 2003(3)AWC1895; (2003)2UPLBEC1159

ORDERM. Katju, J.1. The petitioner is challenging the impugned order of the Director of Higher Education, U. P. dated 2.4.2002, Annexure-32 to the writ petition.2. The petitioner was appointed in Juhari Devi Girls Post Graduate College, Kanpur Nagar on a purely contractual and honorarium (Mandeya) basis in pursuance of the G.O. dated 7.4.1998. It appears that even an appointment order was not issued to the petitioner because none has been annexed to the petition. This appointment was without selection by the U. P. Higher Education Service Commission. In our opinion, such purely contractual appointments on honorarium basis confers no right on the petitioner.3. All these aspects have been discussed by a Division Bench decision of this Court in Dr. Alok Kumar Singh v. State of U. P., 2002 (3) AWC 1859 (DB) : 2002 (2) ESC 427. In that decision, the G.O. dated 7.4.1998 has also been considered in great detail and it has been held that these appointees were only appointed for a very short sp...

In this case on 6.1.2003 learned Standing Counsel as granted time to file counter-affidavit and thereafter on 11.2.2003 time was again granted for that purpose but no counter-affidavit has been filed till today.

On 3rd July, 1981 an order of regularisation was passed with regard to 14 persons including some persons junior to the petitioner but not for the petitioner. The reason why the regularisation order was not passed in favour of the petitioner was that there was an adverse entry against him for the year 1974-75. This adverse entry was subsequently expunged on 30.6.1984, wide Annexure-5 to the writ petition.
