HAVING heard the learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the opinion that these are disputed questions of facts, which cannot be gone into under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner was neither fixed tenure contractual employee nor was regularly selected employee. On account of his medical condition, if the respondents have considered it appropriate to discharge the contractual employment, no fault can be found with the same.
