His services were terminated vide impugned order dated 06.09.2018 (Annexure.13) stating that due to financial inability of the Gram Panchayat, as well as, there being no requirement of services on the post in question, the services of the petitioner are being terminated.

2. I have heard the contentions of learned counsel for the petitioner vis-a-vis those of learned counsel for the respondents.

Suffice for the purpose, as long as there is no violation of the terms and conditions of the contract, he cannot seek forced continuation, even if employer is unable to financially afford his services and/or otherwise his services are not required.

4. In the premise,
