P.P. Rao and R.P. Gupta for the Appellants. 
The following Order of the .Court was delivered : 
Thi.' special leave petition arises from the judgment and order dated 
March 27, 1996 made by Allahabad High Ccurt in Special Appeal No. 258 
of 1996. The petitioners came to join as LT. Grade teachers in S.S.V. Inter 
College, Ghaziabad. It is claimed that 16 substantive vacancies and arisen 
c 
in the said college and the intimation thereof was claimed to have been 
issued to the U.P. Secondary Education Services Commission at Allahabad D 
(for short, the ncommission
11). But before recommendatioD came to be 
made by the Commission for appointment of the teachers, advertisement 
notifying the said 16 vacancies appears to have been issued in two 
newspapers on June 28 and July 3;1991 and interviews are claimed to have 
been conducted by the Management of the said college on July 12, 1991 
and the petitioners were allowed, as stated above, to join as teachers on E 
July 15 and 16, 1991. When papers were sent on November 2, 1991 to 
District Inspector of Schools, Ghaziabad for according financial sanction 
to make payment of their salaries, he made C\'rtain queries regarding 
vacancies and the procedure adopted in making their appointments by 
proceedings dated December 19, 1991. Thereon the writ petition bearing F 
No. 20128 of 1992 was filed and is stated to have been allowed by the High 
Court. Thereon, since salaries were not paid, they filed another writ 
petition bearing No. 26646 of 1992. In the meanwhile, an appeal came to 
be filed against the order in the first writ petition. The Division Bench 
dismis.sed the appeal but on appeal arising out of the Special Leave Petition G 
No. 12338 of 1994, this Court on August 8, 1994 set aside the High_Court's 
order and remitted the matter to ascertain whether appointments had been 
made properly and in accordance with law. The learned single Judge in an 
elaborate Judgment dated February 27, 1996 held that the Management 
claimed to have selected the petitioners and made them to join duty 
without issuing any letters of appointment before expiry of two months' H
