MALVIKA SHEKHAR Vs. DIRECTOR HIGHER EDUCATION U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for the parties.

(2.) THE petitioner's appointment dated 14.6.2003 (Annexure -5 to the petition) shows that the petitioner was appointed on Mandeya (Honorarium basis). The Mandeya (Honorarium basis) is a purely contractual appointment which confers the appointee no right as held by a Division Bench decision of this Court in, A/ok Singh v. State' of U.P., 2002 (2/ESC 427. The petition is, therefore, dismissed.

(3.) IT may be mentioned that there was earlier a provision under Section 16 of the Act for making adhoc appointments but that was deleted by the Amendment to the Act of 1992 w.e.f. 22.11.1991. Hence now there is no statutory provision enabling appointments on adhoc basis.
