IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.22311 of 2011 Date of decision : 1.12.2011 Kishore Kumar and others ....Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Ms.Alka Chatrath, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioners are contractual employees and they do not have any right to claim any privilege of regular service unless the terms of appointment are changed beneficially in their favour. There is no material on record from where it can be inferred that the services of the petitioners are likely to be replaced by another set of contractual employees. As such it is extremely difficult to appreciate the prayer that has been made in the instant petition. A contractual employee's services can be dispensed with upon the expiry of contract or even prior thereto if his work and conduct is unsatisfactory, but it cannot be perpetuated beyond the terms of the contract by any intervention of the Court. For the aforesaid reason, the writ petition is without any merit. However, in case the petitioners' services are sought to be C.W.P.No.22311 of 2011 -2- replaced by another set of contractual employees, the petitioners shall have a grievance and in that eventuality they are at liberty to approach this Court.
