RAJESH PRATAP SINGH Vs. DISTT REGISTRAR BASTI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) S. S. Sodhi, C. J. No occasion arises for the petitioner to be granted any relief in this writ petition.

(2.) A reference to the record shows that the petitioner was given ad hoc appointment on March 15, 1991 and his services as such, were terminated on June 19, 1991. It was the contention of the counsel for the petitioner that as the appointment letter said that his appointment was to continue until regular appointments are made, his services could not have been terminated until such regular appointments. This contention cannot be sustained. It is well settled that where a temporary appointment is given and it is mentioned in the letter of appointment that his services shall continue till regular appointments are made, such an order merely fixes an outer limit for the period of appointment but it constitutes no bar to the service of such temporary employee being terminated earlier as the employer may deem appropriate.

(3.) DISMISSAL of this writ petition cannot but be looked upon as undoing a grave wrong.
