1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5402/02 Kumari Sudesh Sharma vs. State & Ors. Date of order : 18/3/2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Ravi Shankar Sharma for the petitioner. Shri Pradeep Kalwania, Addl. Govt. Counsel for the respondents. ****** This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging her order of termination and with the prayer that the respondents be directed to reinstate the petitioner in the office of Kishangarh Bas and regularise her in service. The petitioner has contended that she was appointed as LDC by order dated 15.9.1998 on contract basis till 28.2.1999 on consolidated salary of Rs.2,500/-. Her services were extended by order dated 30.4.1999 till 28.2.2000 and thereafter by vide order dated 27.7.2000 till 28.2.2001. She in this manner completed 14 months. However, subsequently, her services were not extended. The action of the respondents in not extending the services of the petitioner is absolutely illegal and arbitrary, particularly when the petitioner has worked 2 for so long in view of the clear available vacancy. The writ petition be therefore allowed. The respondents in reply to the writ petition have stated that the appointment of the petitioner was made on contract basis and salary was also paid on consolidated basis. In the appointment letter, it was clearly stated that her services would be liable to be dismissed on availability of duly selected candidates. In any case, the respondents did not pass any order of termination and that the services of the petitioner came to an end on 4.5.2002, when it would not be extended. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the material on record, I find that the appointment of the petitioner was illegally made on contract basis and in such like situation when already more than seven years have gone by, the respondents cannot be directed to reinstate her and there is no question of regularising her services because the petitioner is not in service for last seven years. 3 I do not find any merit in this writ petition. The writ petition is dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
