After hearing learned counsel for the parties and after going through the documents annexed with the writ petition, it appears that the impugned order dated 22.2.2019 (Annexure-P/1) has been passed without affording any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and, therefore, the impugned order dated 22.2.2019 (Annexure-P/1) deserves to be and is hereby set aside. However, it is observed that the petitioner will not be entitled for reinstatement, as the appointment of the petitioner was for limited period and the petitioner was contractual employee and his tenure has expired. It is also observed that in future, if the petitioner applies for the subject post, his case may be considered in accordance with law. 2. With the aforesaid direction/observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Sanjay K. Agrawal) Judge Barve
