THE HOH’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED & THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WA No.1401 OF 2005 ORDER : ( per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed ) This writ appeal is filed against the order dated 28-3-2003 passed in WP No.18669 of 1999 by the learned single Judge of this Court. The appellants herein sought to declare the action of the respondents in not extending the voluntary retirement benefit under the voluntary retirement scheme to them as being arbitrary and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution and to declare the appellants are entitled for voluntary retirement scheme and consequently direct the respondents to consider their applications under that scheme. 2. The matter was considered by the single Bench of this Court and by the impugned order the writ petition was dismissed on the ground that there is no employee employer relationship between the appellants and the respondents and, therefore, the appellants are not entitled to the relief. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the appellants and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. 4. Admittedly the appellants have not challenged the action of the 2nd respondent-Corporation in retrenching their services before any forum and their retrenchment from services attained finality with effect from 30-4-1999. It is not the case of the appellants that the scheme is applicable not only for the working employees and also for the persons who are no more in the employment of the 2nd respondent corporation. That apart when once there is no employee and employer relationship between the parties, the question of applicability of the benefits of the scheme to the appellants doest nor arise. 5. In the circumstances, we do not find any merits in the writ appeal and it is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _____________________ Ghulam Mohammed, J ___________________ Sanjay Kumar, J Dated: 8-8-2011 Nrg.
