(2.) COUNTER and rejoinder-affidavits have been exchanged. Heard Sri M. D. Singh Shekhar, learned Counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned standing Counsel.

(3.) IT is an undubitable fact that the post of lecturer in Sanskrit was in exist ence in the Krishak Intermediate College. This post was sanctioned in the year 1980 but remained unfilled. The petitioner was appointed on this post by direct recruit ment on ad hoc basis on 25-6-1986. The D. I. O. S. has not raised any objection about the manner and procedure adopted in making selection and appointment of the petitioner on ad hoc basis. The only ground on which the approval to the ap pointment of the petitioner has been with held is that the post which was created in the year 1980 had lapsed as no steps were taken to fill in the same within the period prescribed.
