IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.13497 of 2011 Date of Decision: July 29, 2011 Umesh Kumar & others ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.S.K.Tamak, Advocate, for the petitioners. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioners were appointed on contract basis in National Rural Health Programme. While making offer on contract basis, certain conditions were imposed to the effect that the petitioners will achieve certain targets. However, the petitioners could not achieve those targets and accordingly their contract has not been renewed. The submission that in case of some persons the contract has been renewed would not give any right to the petitioners to seek renewal or continuation of the contractual employment. Contract employees would hardly have any right to continue. If the contract is wrongly terminated in any manner, the petitioners can seek damages. The contract of service cannot be enforced through a writ petition. Dismissed. July 29, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
