When a person enters a temporary employment or gets engagement as a contractual or casual worker and the engagement is not based on a proper selection as recognised by the relevant rules or procedure, he is aware of the consequences of the appointment being temporary, casual or contractual in nature. Such a person cannot invoke the

theory of legitimate expectation for being confirmed in the post when an appointment to the post could be made only by following a proper procedure for selection and in cases concerned, in consultation with the Public Service Commission.

Therefore, the theory of legitimate expectation cannot be successfully advanced by temporary, contractual or casual employees. It cannot also be held that the State has held out any promise while engaging these persons either to continue them where they are or to make them permanent. The State cannot constitutionally make such a promise. It is also obvious that the theory cannot be invoked to seek a positive relief of being made permanent in the post.

Contractual employee can be converted to permanent employees as per contract labor regulations and abolition act.If government make notification that this type of job cannot be done by contract labor than the employees can be converted to contract labor to permanent employees. or any where work is done by permanent employees and they take work from contract labor than also he can be converted to permanent employees.

However, In the contract labour regulation & abolition act, 1970 no where it is mentioned that consequent to abolition of engagement of contract labour in a specific area of work or prohibition of engagement of contract labour in certain areas of work,the contract labour are converted as permanent employee, even though the notification is given by the government to the effect that engagement is prohibited or abolished.
