It is argued that initially the petitioner was appointed on the post of part time instructor on 19th June 2013 and worked regularly there on the aforesaid post till 31.03.2022. Subsequently since no renewal order was passed a representation moved before the authorities. On the said representation letter dated 21.11.2022 was written by Block Education Officer, Block Dudahi, District Kushinagar/respondent no. 5 to the District Basic Education Officer, District Kushinagar/respondent no. 4 on 29.11.2022, copy of the same appended as Annexure No. 5 to the present petition but till date no final decision has been taken in the matter. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents argued that since the petitioner was appointed for a fixed term on a fixed salary, hence the appointment of the petitioner would be governed by the law of contract. It is further argued that appointment of the petitioner was for a fixed term hence it does not required any order of termination. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 5. From perusal of record, it is clear that the matter pertaining to the renewal of contract of the petitioner is still pending consideration before respondent no. 4. 6. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the present petition is disposed of directing the respondent No.4/District Basic Education Officer, District Kushinagar to take a decision on the letter dated 29.11.2022 written by the Respondent no. 5/Block Education Officer, Block Dudahi, District Kushinagar strictly in accordance with law most expeditiously and preferably within a period of two months from the date of production of certified copy of this order before him.
