WP(C) 6524/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Rashid, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. Gogoi, learn ed Standing counsel, PWD appearing for the respondents. The petitioner by the present petition has claimed for regularisation in service contending that initially in the year 1991 he was engaged against a leave vaca ncy and thereafter for different periods he was engaged from time to time again st grade IV post on temporary basis. According to the petitioner as he has in t he meantime gained enough experience he should be regularized in service agains t a grade IV. Admittedly Grade IV posts are required to be filled up by issuing advertisement and upon selection of the candidates and in terms of the Rules. Just because th e petitioner was fortunate enough to get the appointment against a leave vacancy , he cannot claim for regularization in service. That being the position the prayer made by the petitioner in the writ petition c annot be accepted. However, the petitioner may apply for any grade IV posts if any advertisement to that effect is issued and in case he applies for the same his case would be con sidered in accordance with the Rules and subject to fulfilling the eligibility c riteria. The writ petition stands disposed of.
