Leave to amend to annex relevant documents.
2.
In view of the advertisement issued for appointment on contractual basis, the eligible and willing candidates were required to submit their applications by 18th August 2025. The petitioners shall indicate by filing a composite affidavit whether they had made an application for the post of teacher. The petitioners shall also bring on record the letters of appointment. 3.
The learned counsel for the petitioners refers to a decision of the Coordinate Bench of this Court seeking an interim relief to the extent that they shall not be disengaged from the service.
4.
As we are informed that an advertisement has been issued for engagement of teachers on contract basis and a copy of the advertisement has been produced by the learned counsel for petitioners, which in fact clearly distinguishes the present batch of writ petitions from the case dealt with by this Court at Aurangabad Bench. Therefore, we are not inclined to grant any interim order in the present batch of writ petitions. 5.
The learned Advocate General assisted by the Government Pleader, Additional Government Pleader and Assistant Govt. Pleaders states that in subsequent petitions this Court at Aurangabad Bench did not grant any interim protection to the teachers who were appointed on ad-hoc basis. 6.
Stand over to 17th September 2025.
