The mere statement made by the petitioners that the initial appointment was made by the outsourcing agency on temporary basis, cannot be taken into consideration. This being the factum, the petitioners are not entitled to seek any relief against the Government Department and if at all they are aggrieved, they seek relief before the private agency, who engaged them, in the manner known to law.
