No.18679 of 2010 (H) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 16th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Junior Instructor in Mala ITI appointed under Rule 9(a)(i) of KS & SSR. She seeks continuation in service beyond her term of appointment on the ground that there is no PSC rank list and seeks a direction from this Court in this regard. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner is only a Rule 9(a) (i) appointee, the maximum that can be claimed is that she should be continued in service for the period of her appointment. If the period has expired, she has no right to continue in service. Therefore, this Court will not be justified in directing that the petitioner be retained in service beyond the term of her appointment. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed.
