LALIT MOHAN Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) ALL these petitions are disposed of by this common order as common question of law is involved in these petitions.

(2.) ALL the petitioners were appointed on the post of Junior Engineer (Civil) by the Secretary Local Self Government Department, State of Rajasthan, purely on temporary basis for a period of six months. However, without any fresh order of extending their services or issuing fresh orders of appointment, they were continued in service even after expiry of the period of six months. However, on 24. 8. 1999, the State Government took a decision to terminate the services of the Junior Engineers appointed in the Municipal Board and accordingly, their services were terminated by the impugned common order dated 24. 8. 99 (Annexure-2 ). This has been challenged by all the petitioners by way of these petitions before this Court, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

(3.) IN view of the above discussions, I do not find any substance or merit in these petitions. Accordingly, the petitions are dismissed. .
