( 1 ) PETITIONER-APPELLANTS 1 and 2 were appointed in 1986 and the third petitioner-appellant was appointed in 1987 as L. D. C.-cum-Typist in the establishment of the first respondent - Central Institute of English and Foreign languages. They were recruited, it is not in dispute, by the procedure of inviting nominations from the Employment Exchange and interview before appointment, but, it is said, were given purely temporary appointment. They, however, it is not in dispute, were given three months extension each time with break to introduce terminals of the appointment and termination of service in a manner that although they have been continued ever since their appointment in their respective posts of L. D. C-cum-Typist, they are still not absorbed in the service and according to the first respondent, are thus purely temporary employees having ad hoc contractual appointment from time to time.

C-cum-Typist and, it is alleged, in december, 1988 the Employment Exchange forwarded the names from which candidates were selected viz. , 2nd to 9th respondents
