(3.) AN ad hoc employee, who has been appointed for a particular period or purpose or to meet an exigency, has no right to continue on the post by claiming himself to be permanent. Such an appointment terminates with the happening of the contingency or the expiration of the period or purpose. He has no right to hold it. Such an employee or a government servant is not entitled to a Writ of Mandamus restraining the employer from making a regular appointment or for a Mandamus to the employer to regularise his service.
