TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE S.SIRI JAGAN,J. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.32721 of 2006 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of August, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a retired Chief Materials Manager of Government of India. His grievance is that he is not being considered for award of the work of physical verification of assets/stores and stocks of the first respondent Corporation. At the same time outside agency of Chartered Accountants Firm or other strangers were allowed to do the work, which, according to the petitioner, is against Ext.P2 judgment of this Court. Ext.P2 judgment has been passed in a writ petition filed by the petitioner himself in 2005. 2. The learned standing counsel appearing for the first respondent submits that, at present, the first respondent does not intend to outsource the work of physical verification. Further, the claim of the petitioner can be considered only in accordance with the guidelines prescribed for the purposes. 3. Having heard both sides, I direct that the direction in Ext.P2 judgment shall apply in respect of future work also. If the first respondent intends to outsource the work, the same shall also be done in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the first respondent for that purposes. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE css/ :2: :3:
