1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6646 OF 2007 Mr. Mulla D.H. Khalandar ..... Petitioner. V/s The Director of Higher Education and Ors. ..... Respondents. ----- Mr. K.K. Waghmare for the Petitioner. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH & V.M. KANADE, JJ. DATE : 8th January, 2008 P.C.: Though the post advertised was for appointment on regular basis, the Petitioner was given appointment on contract basis. The Petitioner did not challenge the appointment on contract basis and claim to get appointment on regular basis. Instead, he accepted the appointment and went to join. He was not permitted to join. Therefore, the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal directed the Government to pay him wages which were mentioned in the appointment order for the period for which the Petitioner was appointed. We do not see any illegality in the order. The claim of the Petitioner that he should have been appointed on regular basis cannot be entertained at this stage because 2 the Petitioner accepted the appointment on contract basis and approached the Principal for joining. The conduct of the Petitioner results in the Petitioner waiving his right to get appointment on regular basis pursuant to the advertisement. There is no substance in the Petition. Petition is rejected. (D.K. DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.)
