He has no case that he is a person working against the sanctioned post or that he was appointed as Driver in accordance with the recruitment rules. Therefore, the contention of the petitioner that the first respondent Panchayat has got a legal duty to allow him to continue as daily wage employee until regular hands join duty from the ranked list published by the PSC is devoid of merit. The petitioner does not hold a post in the Panchayat and therefore, it will not be in accordance with law to direct the Panchayat to allow such a person to continue in service. Writ Petition is devoid of merit. Dismissed. K.K.DENESAN, JUDGE css/ W.P.(C)No. 2
