C.W.P. No. 2429 of 2007 Ajit Singh and others vs. State of Haryana and others Present: Mr. Ravi Verma, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana. *** The petitioners have challenged the order whereby their contractual appointment has been cancelled. There is no averment in the writ petition that the petitioners were appointed as a result of any advertisement or after considering other eligible persons. It is not disputed that appointments were on ad hoc basis. The defence taken by the respondents is that since the appointments of the petitioners were not in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy of the State Government so their services were rightly dispensed with. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that it is only because of pendency of this petition that fresh appointments have not been made on purely pick and choose basis. There is no ground for this apprehension. Consequently this writ petition is dismissed. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE April 21, 2009 sunita
