Manisha And ORS. v. State Of Haryana And Others

6. Perusal of the case file reveals that disputed questions of facts are involved herein, which cannot be gone into on the basis of affidavits under the extraordinary writ jurisdiction.

7. Concededly, the petitioners' services were hired on contract basis. The contractual employee has only limited rights confined within the four corners of the contract of employment. It is the prerogative of an employer to continue and/or discontinue with the contractual services in terms of the contract. I am of the view that on the short ground of being a matter of contract, this Court ought not to exercise its extraordinary writ jurisdiction.

8. This Court would refrain from interfering in the domain of the employer's discretion to engage employees on contract.

9. Dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to seek appropriate alternative remedy, as may be advised and available under the law.
