I have heard Mr. D.K. Sarmah, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. P.S. De ka, learned State Counsel for the respondents. The uncontroverted pleaded case of the petitioner, in short, is that he was init ially appointed for a period of three months in the office of the District Socia l Welfare Officer, Kamrup, in the post of LDA-cum-Typist three months in the pay scale of Rs.1065-2095/-. The said term was thereafter was extended for another six months vide office order dtd. 31.03.1995, whereafter he was appointed as a muster roll worker in the same department.
