JUDGMENT :

CM No. 2762/2022

1. This is an application by the applicants, namely Mohsin Farooq Kawa and Manzoor Shafi Bhat seeking their impleadment as party- respondents. They are seeking their impleadment on the ground that they are working against the posts of Jr. Engineers against which the petitioners herein have been selected in the selection process conducted by respondent No. 2. The applicants claim that they, by performing their continuous duties for more than seven years, have acquired the right of regularization and, therefore, no selection against the posts held by them could be made. They also claim that the selection process conducted by the respondents which has culminated in selection of the petitioners is only an eye wash and conducted only to show door to them.

2. Having heard learned counsel for the applicants and perused the record, I find this application grossly misconceived. The applicants are admittedly the holding the posts of Jr. Engineer (Electrical) and Jr. Engineer (Civil) respectively purely on contractual basis for a specified period. They were initially appointed on contractual basis on a consolidated salary of Rs. 20,000/- per month for 59 days. However
