WP(C) 3865/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY Heard Ms. I Krishnatraiya, learned counsel for the petitioners. Considering the litigational background and the relief prayed for, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage. For the order, which I propose to pass, it is not considered necessary to issue notice to the respondents. This is the third round of litigation for the petitioners, who had been working as Telecommunication Operators with the Respondent-Corporation on contract basis till the termination of their service on 30.06.1995. An association, namely Ex -Servicemen Telecommunication Operator Workers’ Association (hereafter for short referred to as the Association) representing the petitioners had approached thi s Court with CR No. 2687/1995, seeking regularization the services of its member s. By judgment and order dated 02.03.1998 passed in the aforementioned civil ru le, this Court after hearing both the parties on the basis of their pleadings al lowed the petition, directing the Respondent-Corporation to consider the case of the members of the Association individually for their reappointment. The appea l preferred by the Corporation in W.A No. 103/1998, was also dismissed on 29.07. 1999 requiring it to consider the cases of the members of the Association agains t sanctioned posts as would be available. It was clarified that in the existing and future vacancies which are to be filled up for making appointment to the po st, which may be sanctioned, the Respondent-Corporation would consider the cases of the member of the Association before that of others. Being aggrieved by the inaction of the Respondent-Corporation inspite of such unequivocal directions, the Association approached this Court with Cont. Case (C) No.200/2000, which was disposed of on 28.02.2006, by recording the following observation : - There is a clear and categorical averment made by the respondent in the affidav it dated 11th of October 2004 that as and when future vacancies arise, in fillin g up the said vacancies the cases of the members of the petitioner Association w ill be considered in strict compliance with this Courts directions. The petitioners, who are the members of the aforementioned Association are with the grievance that though vacancies are available in some posts of technical ope rators and other equivalent posts against which they are eligible to be accommod ated, the Respondent-Corporation is turning a blind eye to their claim, which is in disregard to the directions of this Court. The learned counsel for the petitioners has urged that for the present, in the a bove factual background, their (petitioners) grievance would stand redressed, if this petition is closed with a direction to the Regional Director, ONGC, Ltd. N azira, Sibsagar to consider and dispose of their representation dated 01.02.2009 and to extend them the benefits to which they are entitled in terms of the afor ementioned determinations of this Court. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and on a consideration of t he pleaded facts as well as the documents annexed to this petition, the prayer i s considered to be fair and reasonable. This Court, therefore, disposes this pe tition with a direction to the aforementioned authority to decide on the aboveme ntioned representation of the petitioners’ bearing in mind the directions of thi s Court contained in the judgment and order dated 02.03.1998 and 29.07.1999 pass ed in CR No. 2687/1995 and WA No. 103/1998 as well as the undertaking given by t hem in the affidavit dated 11.10.2004 referred to in the order dated 28.02.2006 passed in Cont. Case No. (C) No. 200/2000. The exercise, as ordered, should be completed within 4 (four) months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order. The petition stands disposed in the above terms. No costs.
