Ext.P1 is the order on the basis of which the petitioners were engaged in service. This itself shows that appointment of the petitioners was for 179 days. Even if the petitioners are retained in service beyond 179 days, that does not give them any right for regularization. This issue is covered against the petitioner by a Full Bench judgment of this Court in Radha v. District Medical Officer (2002(2) KLT 711) and the judgment of the Apex Court in Secretary, State of Karnataka & Others v. Umadevi & Others (2006 (4) SCC page 1). Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Jvt
