Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Sharma, Judge. For the petitioner: Mr. Tek Chand Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, AG with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. AG for respondents No. 1 to 3. Mr. Naveen K. Bhardwaj, Advocate, for respondent No. 4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The Writ Petition is filed mainly with the following prayer: “ i) That the Respondents/particularly Respondent No. 4 President Gram Panchayat Tharjoon may kindly be directed to renew the contract agreement of the petitioner fro the year 2010 and 2011 on the basis of Office order dated 31st March, 2011 (Annexure P-1) vide which the petitioner has been ordered to be relieved from Primary School Batand Distt. Mandi for the purpose of renewal of contract/agreement of service and the petitioner may kindly be permitted to work at the present place of posting i.e. Pry. School Batand regularly.” 2. Learned counsel for the 4th respondent submits that the contract for this year was not renewed because the contract for the year 2010 was not renewed. But it is pointed out that the petitioner has actually worked for the said period and he has received the wages as well. If that be so, there is no point in not renewing the contract. Therefore, there will be a direction to the 4th respondent to renew the contract and permit the petitioner to continue in service as part time water carrier. Since the petitioner has actually worked last year, it shall be treated that the service is continuous otherwise. 3. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application (s), if any.
