Khehar, C.J. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. J.S. KHEHAR, C. J. (Oral) The petitioner was inducted into the service of the composite State of Uttar Pradesh as a Medical Officer on ad hoc basis in 1990. On the bifurcation of the composite State of Uttar Pradesh w.e.f. 09.11.2000, the issue of allocation of employees between the two successor States has been a subject matter of serious consideration. 2. As per the petitioner’s option, even as of now, he desires to be allocated to the successor State of Uttar Pradesh. On the bifurcation of the composite State of Uttar Pradesh, he had submitted an option for being allocated to the successor State of Uttar Pradesh. As per the final allocation order dated 05.10.2005, the petitioner is deemed to have been allocated to the successor State of Uttar Pradesh. In fact, the petitioner has, to his credits, a substantial benefit from the successor State of Uttar Pradesh, in as much as his original appointment on ad hoc basis was regularized by the State of Uttar Pradesh vide an order dated 04.01.2005. The orders impugned by the petitioner in this case dated 11.02.2010/ 05.04.2010 are in the nature of giving effect to the option exercised by the petitioner, as also the final allocation order passed by the competent authority. In fact, whatever the petitioner has claimed over these years, has fructified through the impugned orders dated 11.02.2010 and 2 05.04.2010. It is not open to the petitioner, and in fact, the petitioner is estopped in law from assailing the aforesaid orders. 3. For the reasons recorded hereinabove, we find no merit in this petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) (J.S. Khehar, C. J.) 21.05.2010 21.05.2010 Amit
