On the basis of the interim order, the petitioner was allowed to resume his duties and still he is working. ( 4 ) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was selected in the regular selection. On the basis of the Government Resolution dated 26. 12. 1980 the petitioner after three years service is entitled for regularisation. A copy of that government Resolution dated 26. 12. 1980 has been produced at Annexure-C, whereby all the Heads of the Department were directed that they should examine the present arrangment of the ad-hoc temporary employees getting the salary vide Resolution No. PCB-2576-77-M dated 24. 3. 1976 and for continuing such employees and recommend the propriety of the regularisation of such ad-hoc employees into the regular salaried persons and convert them as such.

The learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that the appointment of the petitioner was made subject to availability of any regular employee after selection in due course and the petitioner is still working in the department. Learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon the decision of the Supereme court in the case of Karnataka State Private College Stop-gap Lectures Association vs. State of Karnataka, (Supra) wherein the following instructions have been issued. (i) Services of such temporary teachers who have worked as such for three years, including the break till today shall not be terminated. They shall be absorbed as and when regular vacancies arise.

A copy of rojkam, has been annexed with the Annexure-A. Services of that petitioner were terminated without issuing any show cause notice to him. In the present case also, no such show cause notice has been issued. Learned Single Judge has relied upon the provisions of Ruls 33 of the Bombay Civil Services Rules, 1959. In that connection, the Division bench of this Court in the case of Sub-Divisional Soil Conservation Officer, Idar and Anr. vs. M. M. Saiyed, reported in 31 (1) GLR 495, held that the employee is entitled to get notice in accordance with Rule 33. In that case also, a similar argument was advanced on behalf of the respondent authorities that the petitioner was not regularly appointed and was also not qualified. In view of the fact that the services were came to be terminated. The Division Bench of this Court held that the order was bad in want of notice and the petitioner was ordered to be reinstated in that case. ( 6 ) ON the contrary, learned counsel for the State contended that on the basis of the averments made in the affidavit-in-reply that the services of the petitioner were terminated as the petitioner was appointed on temporary and ad-hoc basis. Secondly, the petitioner was not possessing requisite qualification. It was also pointed out that by the government. Resolution dated 25. 5. 1979 of the Social Welfare and Scheduled Castes development Department, the post of Typing Instructor was sanctioned with the pay-scale of Rs. 1,200/- to Rs. 2,040/- month. Pursuant to that proposal being sent to the government letter dated 5. 1. 1984 was sent to frame the Recruitment Rules for the said post, which reads as under : a- Age - Not above the age of 30 years. B- Qualification - Passed S. S. C. or equivalent examination. ~ Passed G. C. C. Examination. ~ English typing speed 50 words/mt - Gujarati " 40 c- Experience - Three years. ( 7 ) IT was admitted in the affidavit-in reply that on the basis of the aforesaid qualification as per the proposed Recruitment Rules, to fill in the aforesaid post, the name of the candidates from (i) District Backward Class Welfare Officer. Vadodara, (ii) Social welfare Officer (D. C.), Vadodara and (iii) Employment Exchange Officer, Vadodara. , were called for vide letter No. SK/tlm/v/yadi/189/86 dated 6. 1. 1986.
Vadodara, (ii) Social welfare Officer (D. C.), Vadodara and (iii) Employment Exchange Officer, Vadodara. , were called for vide letter No. SK/tlm/v/yadi/189/86 dated 6. 1. 1986. The name of the petitioner was forwarded by the District Backward Community Welfare Officer, vadodara. The interview for the aforeasid post was held on 17. 2. 1986, by the District backward Community Welfare Officer, Vadodara. The petitioner was selected and his name was shown at Sr. No. 1 though it was pointed out that he had no experience but he had requiste qualification. As the petitioner was not having requisite experience and type speed in Gujarati as required under the proposed Recruitment Rules. The petitioner was terminated from service from 30th March, 1992. As the appointment was made on purely temporary and ad-hoc basis and petitioners appointment was not regular because at the time ofhis appointment he was not possessing requisite qualification as provided under the proposed recruitment rules. Learned Counsel for the State has relied upon the decision of the learned Single Judge of this Court and decision of the Supreme Court in the case of state of Orissa and Anr. vs. Pyari Mohan Mishra, reported in AIR 1995 SC 974 . But in the supreme Court decision, the appointment of Director was made on ad-hoc basis. That post was only for I. A. S. Officer. The reversion of the Director to the post of Jt. Director without any inquiry was held to be legal and valid. The facts of that case are not attracted to the present case. Learned counsel for the respondent also relied upon the decision of the learned Single Judge of this Court in the case of Dinesh Shivubha Parmar vs. State of gujarat and Ors. , reported in 1992 (1) GLR 608 , wherein the names of the candidates were called from the Employment Exchange Officer and they have been given appointment on temporary and ad-hoc basis and thereafter the appointments were made after due course and the appointment of the petitioner of that case was subject to availability of the regular employees. In the present case, there is no condition for the appointment of the petitioner and service of the petitioner will continue till availability of the regular selected employees.
In the present case, there is no condition for the appointment of the petitioner and service of the petitioner will continue till availability of the regular selected employees. As such, the case law cited by the learned counsel for the State as stated above is not applicable to the facts and circustances of the persent case. According to the allegations made in the affidavit-in-reply, the petitioner was not possessing requisite qualification under the proposed recruitment rules. It appears that there are no rules for recruitment requiring any requisite qualification or experience. It appears that the some proposal has been made for framing recruitment rules otherwise petitioners appointment would not have made in accordance with the provisions of the Rules. From perusal of the whole affidavit-in reply, it appears that there is no rule for appointment of Typing Instructor. It appears that the petitioner was selected by the recruintment Committee and at that time there was no even proposed recruitment rules for recruitment of Typing Instructor. At the relevant time, the petitioner was found fully qualified having requisite qualification cannot be said at later stage after five years that the petitioner was not possessing requisite qualification at the time of his appointment. In view of the directions issued by the Superme Court in the case of Karnataka State private College Stop-gap Lecturers Association vs. State of karnataka and Ors. (Supra), even the petitioners appointment was temporary and on ad-hoc basis, services of the petitioner could not be terminated and he was entittled to be regularised as per Ihe terms of the Government Resolution dated 26. 12. 1980 after completing three years service much before the termination the petitioner had obtained requisite experience in Gujarati type even if it is assumed that it was required under the proposed recruitment rules. ( 8 ) CONSIDERING the facts and circumstances, as discussed above I am constrained to hold that termination order dated 30th March, 1992 passed by the Training Officer is illegal and not sustainable in the eye of law. Accordingly, this petition is allowed and the impugned termination order dated 30th March, 1992 is hereby quashed and set aside. The respondents are directed to treat the petitioner as regular employee from the date of his termination i. e. , from 30th March, 1992. The respondents are also directed to give all consequential benefits to the petitioner from that date.
