Rejecting their contentions against the state policy, the bench observed that no direction can be issued that the guest teachers, who are not meritorious enough, should be engaged for teaching the students of government schools. Therefore, if the petitioners are not meritorious to find merit in the school in which they were teaching, is not a ground to nullify the entire process of engaging almost 70,000 Guest Teachers.” There should not be any adhocism in engaging the teachers The court, however, observed that, the policy of replacement of guest teachers with another set of guest teachers is neither proper nor justified as the guest teachers are engaged to meet out the emergent situation and that, it cannot be a rule that the guest teachers should continue year after year.
