Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 17200 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 27th day of June, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioners are provisional employees appointed for a period of 179 days. They seek continuance in service until regular hands join duty. It is settled law as laid down by various decisions of this Court that provisional hands do not have any right to continue in service beyond the period of their appointment. Therefore, I do not find any merit in this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
