SANJAY JINDAL Vs. J P BHARGAVA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY means of this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India the petitioner seeks issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the opposite parties to treat him as a permanently appointed lecturer. Further prayer is for issuance of a writ of certiorari quashing the letter of appointment dated 6th April 1988, so far as it confines the petitioner's services with effect from 24-3-1988 to 31-5-1988.

(2.) THE nature of appointment of the petitioner, as is evident from the letter of appointment dated 6th April, 1988, which was accepted by the petitioner and in pursuance whereof he joined the post, was purely temporary lasting for a period between 24th March, 1988 and 31st May, 1988.

(3.) LATERON Sri Mahendra Rai resigned the post as he had secured job somewhere else. On resignation of Sri Mahendra Rai a fresh vacancy arose. May be the nature of vacancy was substantive in nature but the authorities concerned chose not to fill up the post on a permanent basis instead the petitioner was offered a temporary appointment for a period between 24th March 1988 and 31st May 1985 which he joined. This temporary appointment may have been made pending regular selection which is a time-consuming process and interest of the student warranted immediate arrangement.
