Singh, Assistant Advocate General. Sanjay Karol, J. (Oral) On 10th April, 2009, this Court has issued actual date notice to the petitioner for today. However, inspite of pass over, none has caused appearance. Hence, in the absence of the petitioner, the matter is being decided. The petitioner has assailed Annexure A-2 which is the list whereby work charged employees working under various categories were clubbed together and redesignated in single new category. The petitioner was engaged as a daily waged Helper/Assistant Driver. He worked as an Helper for 6 years and Assistant Driver for 4 years up to 31st December, 1994. As per the Governmental instructions dated 5.9.1995, Annexure RA-1, such of those employees who Whether the reporters of Local Papers are allowed to see the Judgment? : 2 : were to complete 10 years of service in more than one capacity, were required to be appointed in the lower category. As such, the petitioner was regularized as work charged Helper. By way of an administrative decision, the categories of Beldar, Khalasi and Helper were clubbed together and redesignated as Beldar. A combined seniority list for promotion was accordingly prepared. The clubbing of the categories has not effected the wages which the petitioner was receiving. It has not effected his seniority as the respondents have explained that unit seniority in the old category has not been disturbed for the purposes of promotion. No legally enforceable right of the petition stands violated. In these circumstances, no interference is warranted. The petition is dismissed. (Sanjay Karol) Judge. May 5, 2009. Bhupender
