It has been agreed to by learned counsel for the parties that the controversy is covered by an order dated 16.9.2010 passed by this Court in CWP No. 2324 of 2010, wherein following observations/directions were issued:- “ It is settled law that the temporary employees cannot be replaced by similar temporary arrangement. The petitioners, who are working on contract basis cannot be removed by a similar temporary arrangement except on account of unsatisfactory service or misconduct on their part or if, their services are not needed. In view of the above circumstances, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents not to replace the petitioners by a similar temporary arrangement except for unsatisfactory service or if, their services are not needed. However, respondents are at liberty to fill up the posts on regular basis. In that eventuality the petitioners will make way for the regular appointees.” It is, accordingly, prayed by learned counsel for the parties that these writ petitions may also be disposed of in terms of the aforesaid petition. CWP. No. 18620 of 2009 (O&M) -5- These petitions are, accordingly, disposed of in terms of the aforesaid order. Copy of this order be placed on each connected file.
