WA 113/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. R.S. GARG THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY (R.S. Garg, C.J.) Heard Mr. K.K. Mahanta, learned counsel for the appellan t/petitioner and Mr. D. Goswami, learned counsel for the State. Heard on question of admission. Pick and choose was adopted as a policy for retaining so me persons, while picking and picking, according to the petitioner, has been ado pted as a policy for terminating the petitioner. Undisputedly the petitioner and number of persons were g iven entry in the services from the backdoor for a period of 89 days, the 89 day s order was repeated. Time and again thereafter, some officers without any auth ority of law exercising their discretion and that too contrary to law issued a d irection that the petitioner would be continued in the office. It appears that after some time, the petitioner’s engagement was brought to an end through some of the persons, who were similarly situated, were allowed to continue. The peti tioner being aggrieved has come to this Court. The learned Single Judge after he aring the parties dismissed the petition therefore, the petitioner is before us. Undisputedly, the petitioner has no right to continue on the post, but, however, according to Mr. Mahanta, learned counsel for the appel lant, the petitioner is entitled to continue if the others have not been discont inued. In our opinion, such an argument would not be available in law because an illegality extended in favour of somebody, cannot be directed by the High Court to be extended in favour of the others. Illegal continuation o f somebody would not provide a foundation in favour of the petitioner to say tha t such illegal favour should also be extended to her. We do not find any reason to interfere in the mater. We dismiss the appeal but, however, we direct the State Government to take appropr iate action against such persons, who are allowed to join their services on ad-h oc, daily or temporary basis and are being allowed to continue without facing an y selection process. Let a copy of this order be sent from the Court side to the Chief Secretary of the State for taking appropriate action in the matter.
