WP(C) 797/2003 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE T VAIPHEI Heard Mr I Hussain, the learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Ms M Gos wami, the learned GA and Mr S Khaund, the learned counsel for the respondents No . 4 to 7. In this writ petition, the petitioner is challenging the order dated 02.01.2002, issued by the Conservator of Forests, Western Assam Circle, Kokrajhar and the e nsuing letter dated 21.12.2001, issued by the Principal Chief Conservator of For ests, Assam, cancelling the appointment of the petitioner as temporary line Khal ashi under Kachugaon Division. The petitioner was appointed to officiate as tem porary line Khalashi by the order dated 21.06.2001. Indisputedly, the appointme nt of the petitioner was done without assigning any reason and without following the recruitment procedures laid down by law. Having not been appointed without following the procedure laid down by law, and in violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, the petitioner cannot have any legitimate grievance if his services have been terminated without following such procedures. No vested righ t accrued to the petitioner to continue in the service. Faced with the situatio n, the learned counsel for the petitioner nevertheless prays that the petitioner should be allowed to file a representation to the respondent authorities to acc ommodate him as in similar other cases. The permission of this Court is not nec essary for the petitioner to approach the competent authority to ventilate his g rievances. He is at liberty to do so as and when he deems it fit and proper. Th e writ petition is, therefore, liable to be dismissed which I hereby do. If the petitioner has already been appointed to any post by the respondent authorities during the pendency of this writ petition, this order will in no manner affect such appointment. No order as to cost.
