IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Special Appeal No. 179 of 2011 Pooran Ram ….…… Appellant Versus State of Uttarakhand and others ………. Respondents Mr. S.S. Yadav, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. K.P. Upadhyay, Addl. Chief Standing Counsel for the State / respondents. Date of Judgment: 23.08.2011 JUDGMENT Coram: Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. BARIN GHOSH, C.J. (ORAL) Delay Condonation Application No. 8284 of 2011 Being satisfied with the reasons, furnished for the delay in preferring the appeal, and there being no serious objection for condonation of delay, we allow the application for condonation of delay. Special Appeal No. 179 of 2011 From time to time, until 1994, appellant was engaged on daily wage basis to work as an instructor. In the year 2005, appellant in a writ petition contended that he be permitted to make a suitable representation to the concerned authorities. That was allowed. While making the representation, appellant held out that many people are working on contractual basis as instructors and many posts of instructor are still vacant and, accordingly, appellant be accommodated on contractual basis in one of those posts of instructors. This representation was disposed of on 19th July, 2006, holding out that no sooner advertisements will be published, appellant may respond to the same. Being aggrieved thereby, 5 years later, appellant filed a writ petition and by the judgment and order under appeal, the said writ petition has been dismissed on the ground of delay. 2. In the appeal, it is being contended that it is the Director who should have decided independently and not on the basis of pre-suppositions of the Principal of the institution. 2 3. We feel that the claim of the appellant is not sustainable at all. No Court nor any authority can compel an employer to enter into a contract of employment with an employee. 4. The representation of the appellant, the writ petition and the present appeal are thoroughly misconceived and, accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. (V.K. Bist, J.)
