Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgment dated 07.07.2010 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that no direction could be issued in favour of the appellants for regularisation of their services or granting them permission to continue working at their respective places of postings. 2. It is appropriate to mention that the appellants are working in Industrial Training Institute on contract basis and have also awarded regular pay scale. The learned Single Judge has categorically pointed out that posts were duly advertised before appointing the appellants on contractual LPA No. 68 of 2011 (O&M) -2- basis and the appellants have accepted the terms and conditions of the contract. Placing reliance on the judgment of Constitution Bench of Hon'ble the Supreme Court rendered in the case of Secretary State of Karnataka v. Uma Devi and others 2006(4) SCC 1, the learned Single Judge has dismissed the petition. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the appellants at some length and are of the view that no legal infirmity warranting admission of the appeal could be found in the view taken by the learned Single Judge. There, is, thus no merit in the appeal. 4. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. 5. In view of the dismissal of the appeal on merit, no orders are required to be passed on the application seeking condonation of 25 days' delay in filing the appeal. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (T.P.S.
