G.P. for respondent nos. 1 & 2. C ORAM : D.B.BHOSALE ; and PRASANNA B. VARALE, J. DATED : 25th June, 2010. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicants/ petitioners and learned Additional Government Pleader for respondent Nos.1 and 2. 2. By these civil applications, the applicants are seeking direction to the respondents to continue their services till the candidates selected by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission are made available for regular appointments. They have also prayed for directions to the respondents that in the event the candidates selected by M.P.S.C. are available, they shall apply the principle of ‘last come first go’ while terminating the services of the 2 applicants, appointed on contract basis, in the relevant subjects. 3. This Court, while disposing of a group of writ petitions vide order dated 18/8/2009, in paragraph 7 thereof, had issued following directions : “7. The petitioners are continuing in service since 2002 and learned Addl. Govt. Pleader states that at least as on today, their services are needed. We, therefore, direct the respondents to continue the petitioners in service, if their services are needed, on terms and conditions as per their appointments, and we further direct respondent no.3 – MPSC to issue appropriate advertisement and to complete selection for a regular recruitment, as early as possible, and in any case, by 30th April, 2010.” 4. Learned Addl. Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the respondents have already initiated the selection process through MPSC and it is likely to get over by the end of December, 2010. In view thereof, she submits that as and when the services of the petitioners are needed, they will be appointed on contract basis only till the appointments of selected candidates is made. Her statement is accepted. 5. Insofar as prayer clause (B) in the application is concerned, such prayer was not made in the writ petition and, therefore, we are not inclined to issue such directions to the respondents. 3 6. With these observations, the civil applications are disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE Diwale
