THIS WRIT PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 9 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:7157 WP No. 103124 of 2025 CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S G PANDIT ORAL ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S G PANDIT) Heard Sri. B.N.Mulimani, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, and Sri. Madanmohan M.Khannur, learned Additional Government Advocate, who has taken notice for the respondents. Perused the writ petition papers. 2. The petitioners are before this Court praying for a Writ of Mandamus to respondent No.2 to pass orders allowing the petitioners to continue their service in respondents No.3 to 26-Colleges till the end of the Academic Year 2024-25 in view of the Circular bearing No.KA.Shi.E/NEVI-1/A.u.aa/90/2023-24, dated, 03.10.2024 (Annexure-B). 3. Petitioners claim that they are working as Guest Lecturers in respondents No.3 to 26-Colleges. Annexure-B, Circular dated 03.10.2024, would state that the Guest Lecturers would be entitled for remuneration for the work carried out in accordance with the Rules governing honorarium. Further, it would state that for the year 2024-25, separate - 10 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:7157 WP No. 103124 of 2025 recruitment notice would be issued for appointment as Guest Lecturers. 4. Petitioners have not made any representation to the authorities. Without making demand or representation, the petitioners could not have come before this Court seeking Writ of Mandamus. Unless there is a demand in accordance with law and refusal on the part of the respondents-authorities to consider, the writ petitioners would not be entitled for a Writ of Mandamus. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the writ petitioners to make appropriate representation to the concerned authority to continue their services till the end of Academic Year 2024-25.
