HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.NARAYAN ROY HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Mr. Riyaz Mazahar for the appellant. **** Heard counsel for the appellant. Delay in filing this appeal is condoned. Writ petitioner appellant who was engaged as a Driver for a fixed period under a contract was terminated on the expiry of the period of contract. Writ application filed by the writ petitioner appellant however was dismissed. It is not in dispute that the writ petitioner appellant was engaged as a Driver in between December, 1995 and May, 1999 and, thereafter, he was terminated. It is also not in dispute that appointment of the petitioner-appellant was on the basis of contract. Learned counsel submitted that the appellant has continued for 4 years as Driver and there is exigency of work therefore, he should be re-engaged. The order of termination is of 1999 and at this stage, it is not required for us to examine as to whether there is exigency of work or not and in case certain vacancies have occurred under the respondents, they may be advertised for fresh recruitment where, writ petitioner appellant may also apply. In the given facts and circumstances of the case, therefore, the learned Single Bench of this Court was accordingly justified in not granting any relief to the writ petitioner. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. (NARAYAN ROY), CJ. anil/- 2
