Heard learned counsel representing the petitioners and learned counsel representing the respondents. 3. This is second round of litigation of both these 2026:JHHC:9140 2 petitioners. 4. Facts of this case are as follows:- 4.1. These petitioners were appointed on the post of “Lady Supervisor” on contractual basis, pursuant to the Advertisement, after following due process. 4.2. Thereafter, the payment of these petitioners was not made and they were removed from their services. 4.3. Being aggrieved of the aforesaid removal from service, the petitioners challenged the same by filing a writ petition being W.P.(S) No.3072 of 2010, which was disposed by a Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 18.06.2018, without warranting any interference in the order of removal of the petitioners. However, the Coordinate Bench directed the respondents to pay the admissible arrears of salary of the petitioners during the period for which the petitioners have rendered their services, which the respondents complied and made the payment. 4.4. Now the petitioners are claiming adjustment against the vacancies of two sanctioned posts of Lady Supervisor in the District of Giridih, which was intimated by the respondent as being laying vacant since long. 5. After going through the writ petition and hearing the parties, I find that the petitioners have been terminated from services and their termination also stood affirmed by a Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 18.06.2018 in W.P.(S) No.3072 of 2010. Further, lying of posts vacant since long cannot give any right to the petitioners to be appointed, thus, no relief can be granted 2026:JHHC:9140 3 to these petitioners. 5.1. The petitioners, if so advised may apply when the Advertisement is published for filling up of the said vacancy as regular candidates and compete with others. 6. With the aforesaid observation, this writ petition stands dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 30th March, 2026 Prashant. Cp-2 Uploaded on 07.04.2026
