This is a writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India challenging the order dated 7.9.2001 of the respondent No.2 by which the services of the petitioner have been terminated.

It is not is dispute that the petitioner was working as Assistant Sub-Inspector in Krishi Upaj Mandi, Nagoud for nearly twelve years and his services have been terminated without any show cause notice or opportunity of hearing to him by the impugned order. He would have been regularised if he had been appointed before 31.12.1988.

The petitioner's case is that he was appointed on the said post by order dated 1.1.1988 (Annexure P-2) after he submitted his application dated 25.12.1987 (Annexure P-l). In the letter dated 6.4.1995 (Annexure P-3) sent by the respondent No.4 to the respondent No.2 for regularisation of the services it was mentioned that the petitioner was appointed on 1.1.1988. Again by letter dated 8.8.1997 (Annexure (P-4) the respondent No.4 informed the respondent No. 1 that the petitioner was appointed from 1.1.1988. The same thing was stated in the letter dated 29.11.1999 (Annexure P-6) sent by the respondent No.4 to the Collector, Satna.
