REKHA ARORA Vs. Chairman, National Commission for Scheduled Castes/scheduled Tribes

VIKRAMAJIT SEN

( 1 ) IN the present writ petition the Petitioner s alleged termination of services by the Respondent is under challenge. The facts of-the case are that by order dated 4/9/1995 the Petitioner was appointed as a hindi Stenographer "on purely. ad-hoc basis in the scale of pay RS. 1200-30-1560-EB-40-2040 for a period of 89 days with effect from 23/8/1995 to 19/11/1995 or until further orders, whichever is earlier". In the Order it is further clarified that this appointment shall not confer any claim for regular appointment. It is not in dispute that the Petitioner continued in service till 17/2/1997, that is, one and a half years from her initial period of engagement. Learned counsel for the respondent has submitted that no rights exist in favour of the Petitioner for claiming regularisation of service or even continuance of service. I am unable to accept this argument as carrying any weight for the dismissal of the Petition. Attention must be drawn to the decision of the Hon ble Supreme Court In Gujarat
