The petitioner was appointed as casual labour with effect from 25-06-1982 in the 1st respondent’s organization. It is his case that he has been continuing as such, but his services have not been regularized. As per the seniority list, the name of the petitioner was shown at serial No.173, whereas the name of the 4th respondent is shown at serial No.176. However, the 4th respondent has been taken as M.N.O., whereas the petitioner, who was senior to the 4th respondent, has been ignored. The petitioner prays that the appointment of the 4th respondent be quashed and he be appointed in place of the 4th respondent. 3. Learned counsel for the 1st respondent states that the petitioner is not qualified for the post of M.N.O., for which the qualifications are as under: “i) Ability to read and write any of the regional language of the District concerned; ii) A certificate in First Aid issued by any Government or Semi Government or Red Cross Organization.” 4.

In rebuttal, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner does possess a certificate in First Aid issued by a Government Organization. 6. However, learned counsel for the 1st respondent submits that the Agronomist, College Farm, Rajendranagar, under whom the petitioner is working, was requested along with others to furnish the information. All the Officers except the Warden, Hostel-C have informed the 3rd respondent that no casual labour working under them are having the requisite qualifications to be eligible for the post of M.N.O. The Warden, Hostel-C has further informed that the 4th respondent duly fulfilled the requisite qualifications for the post of M.N.O. 7. In view of the above, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. However, learned counsel for the 1st respondent submitted that the case of the petitioner will be considered in accordance with law, as and when vacancy arises in any other Class-IV post for which the petitioner is qualified and eligible. 8. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As the petitioner has been working as casual labour since 1982, he is directed to file a representation before the competent authority requesting them to regularize his services, and the competent authority shall pass appropriate orders on the representation made by the petitioner expeditiously, preferably within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of the representation. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J October 21, 2011. KTL
