In these circumstances, we see no reason to entertain the present petition. Unless the petitioner is in service, the question of granting approval to his appointment does not arise. 3 We have not decided whether the cessation of the work of the petitioner is either due to termination of his services or on account of his resignation or otherwise. In case the petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that he is no longer in service, he has an alternate remedy for redressal of his grievance. The petition is rejected. ( M. T. JOSHI, J.) (SMT.
