IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6118 of 2001 RAMESH RAMAN SINHA Versus RAJENDRA AGRI.UNIVERSITY & ORS ----------- 4 4.5.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner was appointed in the department of Basic Science and humanities, Rajendra Agricultural University, as Laboratory Assistant under the Ganga Project. His letter of appointment dated 15.6.1985 at Annexure-1 itself states that on expiry of the scheme his appointment shall automatically come to an end. The law stands well settled that those appointed under a scheme or for a limited duration and that their appointments shall come to an end on expiry of the scheme or duration will not have a right to claim any continuance or claim absorption. That remains a policy matter to be considered by the employer and no mandamus can be issued for the same. The petitioner appears to have moved before the Chancellor who by order dated 6.11.1992 has held that it was not a case for reappointment as a matter of right, in view of the nature of appointment. However on compassionate ground he may be given preference as casual worker when vacancy exists. - 2 - In pursuance of the same, if the University has made any proposal as suggested on behalf of the petitioner, it is for the University itself to consider the matter in the light of the observation of the Chancellor and no mandamus can be issued by this Court in view of the nature of initial appointment of the petitioner. The writ application stands disposed with the aforesaid observation. (Navin Sinha,J.) A.Kumar
