HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT APPEAL NO. 463 OF 2011 Between: Pulapaka Ramakrishna Rao ………….Appellant AND M/s Bharat Electronics Limited and three others ………….Respondents JUDGMENT: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) The writ petitioner is the appellant in this Writ Appeal. He was working, as Visiting Medical Oﬃcer with the Andhra Scientiﬁc Company, which was subsequently taken over by the Bharat Electronics Limited. Pursuant to the order dated 28th October 1986 passed by the 4th respondent herein, it was made clear to the appellant that the Selection Committee selected him for the job of Visiting Medical Oﬃcer, which is neither regular post nor a cadre post of respondent-Company. The petitioner accepted the same and reported to duty on 29th October 1996 and entertaining the representations of the petitioner, the remuneration payable to him has been revised from time to time. However, the above Writ Petition has been instituted by him seeking a direction to the respondents to treat the petitioner as a permanent employee of the respondent company with all consequential benefits including the benefit of scale of pay. That writ petition came to be dismissed by the learned Single Judge holding that the writ petitioner is only a Honorary Medical Oﬃcer and he was paid honorarium by the respondent- Company and he cannot be treated as a regular employee of the respondent-Company. In fact, while enhancing his remuneration to Rs. 8,000/- per month with eﬀect from 1.2.2009, the respondent-Company requested the petitioner to spare at least four hours of quality time for providing medical care to their employees between 8.30 AM to 10.30 AM and 14.30 to 16.30 hours on all working days. Thus it is more than clear that the writ petitioner is only an honorary medical oﬃcer, who was visiting in the establishment of the respondent at a certain ﬁxed hours for providing necessary services and is not a regular employee of the respondent- Company. He was never selected to be a regular employee of the company, therefore, the relief prayed for in this Writ Petition, could not have been granted by this Court. Further, the writ petitioner has informed the respondent- Company that he has to attend to duties of Government Hospital from 9.00 AM in the morning and therefore, he requested the respondent-Company to allow him to render services between 8.00 AM to 9.00 AM in the morning. In that view of the matter, the respondent-Company has initiated the recruitment process for engaging the services of another doctor as Medical Advisor at an earliest and through the impugned order dated 19th April 2011, the petitioner was informed that his services as Visiting Medical Oﬃcer are not required from the said date. When once the petitioner was only recruited as Visiting Medical Oﬃcer, he could not have claimed to be a regular employee of the ﬁrst respondent-company, while simultaneously being in the employment of the local Government Hospital. We do not ﬁnd any inﬁrmity in the order passed by the learned Single Judge in dismissing the Writ Petition. Hence, this Writ Appeal is dismissed at the admission stage. No costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J ________________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J DATE: 23.11.2011 KA ... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1. 2 CD copies.
