1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5972/2010 Ashok Kumar Mehta vs. State & Ors. Date of order : 28/4/2010. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Anand Sharma for the petitioner. ****** The appointment of the petitioner was made as Gram Rojgar Sahayak for Gram Panchayat Karansar on contract basis. According to learned counsel for the petitioner, the contract for appointment was abruptly terminated by order dated 13.10.2009, but in doing so, the compliance of clause-7 of the agreement was not made according to which such contract would be terminated with service of notice of one month on either side or by depositing/paying one month's package/contract amount in lieu of notice. It is contended that petitioner is not aware of any FIR lodged against him, nor any irregularity has been alleged to have been committed by the petitioner and if any other person is indulged in any irregularity, petitioner cannot be penalised for such. The petitioner is appointed on contract basis and does not stand on similar footing with regularly recruited employees. The contract in any case would have out lived its term on 31.3.2010. The petitioner is approaching this Court after expiry of that term. 2 This Court cannot direct the respondents to renew the contract or to continue him irrespective of the fact that respondents have found certain irregularities in the work of the petitioner as Gram Rojgar Sahayak and with regard thereto FIR was lodged against him in Police Station Renwal as is evident from the impugned order dated 13.10.2009. At the maximum, he can complain of not paying him one month's package/contract amount in lieu of notice. For that limited prayer, the petitioner should approach the District Collector and District Programme Coordinator, NREGA, who shall ensure compliance of that clause-7 and payment of the contract amount to the petitioner for a period of one month for terminating his contract and pass appropriate order with regard thereto within a period of two months. The writ petition is disposed of. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
