By this Appeal, the Appellant is challenging the order of the learned single Judge dated 28.11.2005 whereby the Tribunal has dismissed the Appeal filed by the Appellant holding that the Appellant was appointed purely on a temporary basis and as such he would not be entitled to be protected. 3. We have perused the original appointment letters for the academic years 1996-1997 as well as : 2 : 1997-1998. Both the appointment letters were purely temporary for one academic year and in fact at the end of the services of each of the academic year, the services were terminated and again the Appellant has applied for fresh appointment and accordingly the Appellant was appointed again on purely temporary basis for one year. Under the aforesaid circumstances, we find no error in the judgement of the learned single Judge and we decline to interfere in the present Appeal. The Appeal is devoid of merits, hence the same is dismissed. (DR.S. RADHAKRISHNAN, J.) (S.J. VAZIFDAR, J.)
