The letter of the State Health Society, at best enables the petitioner's engagement, if required. It does not vest any right in the petitioner. The earlier engagement under letter dated 15-05-2021(Annexure- 1), came to an automatic end after three month. Therefore, it will be open to the Authorities to engage the petitioner's services as per requirement in terms of policy decision. The petitioner would be at liberty to avail such opportunity, should the same come his way.
