Judgment :- Elipe Dharma Rao, J. conditions of the appointment on contract basis when the writ petitioner indulged in corruption and a criminal case was registered, the writ petition was filed. The learned single judge accepting the arguments of the learned counsel for the petitioner that by virtue of the order of dismissal the petitioner was terminated from service and therefore she is not entitled for future rights in Government service, allowed the writ petition. Against which the present writ appeal is filed. 2. The writ appeal has been admitted and though notice was served on the petitioner, the petitioner has not chosen either in person or through counsel to represent the case. Therefore, we consider it appropriate that the petitioner is not interested in the matter. However, the order of termination is based on the ground of involvement in a criminal case and therefore, if the petitioner succeeds in the criminal case, she can make a representation for reinstatement. Therefore, we see no reason to set aside the order of termination as per the conditions of the appointment. The order of the learned single judge is set aside. 3. The writ appeal is allowed. No order as to costs. Consequently, connected pending miscellaneous petition is disposed of.
