The appointment is for a period of 179 days. The petitioner submits that his service is proposed to be terminated on completion of the said period and if no P.SC hand is available, he should be permitted to continue till a regular hand is appointed. 2. It is well settled that the said appointee will not get any right for continuance as the term of appointment will stand expire after the period of 179 days. 3. Whether he could be continued in service etc ., is a matter within the purview of respondents 1 and 2 for consideration. This Court cannot therefore give a positive direction to respondents 1 and 2 to continue his engagement. Therefore, the writ petition is closed with liberty to move the respondents 1 and 2 by the petitioner. T.R RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE ma 2 3
