ORDER
The learned Additional Advocate-General informs that the petitioners were interviewed by the Director Technical Education on 12-4-1988 for the purpose of selection for ad hoc appointment. He further submits that the merit list of the petitioners and other candidates has been prepared. The petitioners if they qualify would be given ad hoc appointment for one year subject to their regularisation in due course by the Punjab Public Service Commission.
2. I am unable to appreciate the anxiety of the learned counsel for the petitioners. The learned counsel for the petitioners was unable to show residing of an absolute right in the petitioners to lay foundation for this Court to issue an imperative direction to the respondent to appoint the petitioners on ad hoc basis irrespective of the fact whether they qualify in the interview or not. The learned Additional Advocate General has further pointed out that the Government is taking remedial measures in respect of .ad hoc appointees to bring about uniformity and equality of treatment between appointees of various subjects.
3. The petitioners must exhibit patience and wait for the result of the interview in which they have appeared. This Court is hot in a position to issue a writ in the nature of mandamus in the ratter of ad hoc appointment. The learned Additional Advocate-General assures that the petitioners' case will be considered sympathetically after giving them weightage on the basis of performance of their ad hoc appointment. In view of the abovenoted statement on behalf of the Law officer of the Province this writ petition stands disposed of.
