1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.6743/2010 Girdhar Gopal Kiradoo vs. State & Ors. Date of order : 12/5/2010. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Omveer Singh Saini for the petitioner. ****** Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. This writ petition has been filed by petitioner aggrieved by discontinuation of his services from the post of Administrative Assistant in the National Disease Service Project. The appointment of the petitioner was admittedly made on contract basis on consolidated honorarium of Rs.4000/- per month. Contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that contractual appointment of the petitioner was extended from time to time and lastly it was extended upto 30.6.2010. However, it was discontinued with effect from 1.4.2010. Perusal of the letter dated 31.3.2010 sent by the Additional Director (PH) & National Project Officer (IDSP), National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Delhi shows that this scheme was entirely funded by the Government of India. The Government of India approved the extension of the services of contractual staff under the IDSP only upto 30.6.2010. However, it was clearly stipulated in that 2 letter that the posts of 'Administrative Assistant' and 'Helper' at State Surveillance Units and the posts 'Accountant' and 'Administrative Assistant' at District Surveillance Units are being discontinued with effect from 1.4.2010. In the first place, the petitioner was appointed on contract basis. Secondly, the post against which the petitioner was appointed, no longer exists. The Government of India, in its discretion, decided to discontinue such post. This Court cannot compel the respondent-State of Rajasthan and its functionaries, which are party to this petition as also through them the Government of India which is not party to this writ petition, to revive the discontinued post so as to continue the petitioner in service. However, if vacancy exist in any other post by different nomenclature and the petitioner meets the eligibility requirement for appointment on such post, he may make representation to the respondents and the same may be considered, may be on contract basis, keeping in view the fact that the petitioner has served for four years. With the above observations, this writ petition is dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
