Article 226 of the Constitution of India may not be remedy for the petitioner because the petitioner is not a holder of civil post or had been substantially appointed on the post. His right and obligation will flow from the contract if such a claim is brought before the appropriate forum. This writ application is dismissed with the above liberty. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
