Contractual Employees – Whether on expiry of the contract period, the petitioners have got any vested right to continue in service, the answer cannot be in affirmative

The petitioners cannot go beyond the terms and conditions of the appointment letters – It is clearly mentioned in their appointment letters that they had been appointed for one year or till appointment of regular incumbents, whichever was earlier – Though their period stood extended but after expiry of period of last extension, they cannot insist to continue in service.

Contractual Employees – Asking for a hike in wages by an employee is not such a reason by which an employer would feel offended so as to start scheming against such employee to dispense with his services – The petitioners have not been able to show any malafide on the part of respondents so as to deny them extension in the contract period and to replace them by another set of ad hoc employee.
