Contract Service

Right for permanent induction — Proposition — The contract appointment confers no right for permanent induction in service — Such service is for a particular period. [An incumbent of contract service has no right for permanent induction under the University statutes. There was no question of discrimination. Supreme Court dismissed appeal]. Tahira Maqbool Lecturer and 3 others v. Chancellor of the University of AJK and 7 others 2013 SCR (SC AJ&K) 702 (B)
Termination — contention that the services of the project employees may not be terminated — held: when the project is not continuing and the posts are not available, the employer cannot be forced by the Courts to continue the services of the employees without post — further held: even according to law enforced in AJ&K dealing with the civil servants, in case of abolishment or reduction of post, the services of permanently inducted civil servants can be terminated. Section 10 of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Civil Servants Act, 1976 is very much clear, thus the prayer of the appellants that their services should not be terminated, in the light of the facts of the case is not maintainable. Muhammad Rehman & another v. Azad Govt. & 8 others 2014 SCR 298 (B)
