14/15 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. B. BAJANTHRI and HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. G. ANUPAMA CHAKRAVARTHY ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. B. BAJANTHRI) 02-09-2024 Gist of the issue in the present litigation is whether petitioners are entitled to be reinstated on Contract Basis against the post of 'Uddipika' in different Panchayats of the State of Bihar. They were initially appointed on Contract Basis in a particular scheme in the year 2016 for a particular period in the scheme called "Sector Wide Approach to Strengthening Health (SWASTH) Scheme sponsored by the Department of International Development, United Kingdom. In the meanwhile, the State has closed such scheme. Resultantly, their services were dispensed. The appellants have no vested right when they were appointed on Contract Basis under a particular scheme. Once the scheme is not existing in the eye of law, resultantly, appellants have not vested right to claim over the post on Contract Basis till the tenure is completed.
2. Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Ganesh Digamber Jambhrunkar & Ors. Vs. The State of Maharastra & Ors. reported in 2023 LiveLaw (SC) 801 held that contract appointees have no vested and legal right to claim over the post. The word 'Contract' itself indicates that their appointment was on tenure basis.
15/15
3. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that State-respondents have filed counter-affidavit and appellants' counsel intends to file rejoinder.
4. Having regard to aforementioned facts of the case by means of rejoinder, appellants may not improve their case insofar as their status to the extent that they were initially appointed on Contract Basis with a particular tenure and in a project/scheme. Once the project/scheme is closed, resultantly, there is no point in continuing the services of the appellantscontract basis under the non-existing scheme or project. Therefore, rejoinder is not warranted.
5. Accordingly, Letters Patent Appeal stands dismissed while affirming the order of the Learned Single Judge.
6. Pending Interlocutory application(s), if any, stands dismissed.
