FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.4268 OF 2009 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Heard learned Counsel for the parties. 2 The relief claimed in this petition is of limited nature. The petitioner prays that the respondents authorities ought to have accommodated the petitioners in National Child Labour Project (NCLP) or in any other similar type of projects. This relief is founded on the opinion of the State Project Steering Committee, Maharashtra dated 24th November, 2008. At Sr.No.9 the issue regarding the persons similarly placed as that of petitioners was examined by the said committee and it was noted that the Community Workers in INDUS could be accommodated in NCLP on the post of Clerk-cum-Accountant. They should be given clear idea of their additional responsibility of uploading index and progress cards and change in their designation. This opinion of the Steering Committee was duly considered and the Committee under the Chairmanship of Secretary, Industries, Energy & Labour Department, Maharashtra State approved the recommendations of the Steering Committee. The consequence of such decision would necessarily be to consider the claim of the petitioners as and when occasion arises, on and from the date of such decision. However, the grievance brought before us is that in spite of the said decision, the claim of the petitioners herein is being ignored. 3 We have gone through the reply affidavit filed by the respondents to oppose this writ petition. In our opinion, in view of the decision of the Committee headed by the Secretary of the concerned department, that decision will have to be taken to its logical end if and when the petitioners can be accommodated in NCLP. 4 We, therefore, dispose of this petition with directions to the respondent No.2 to consider the claim of the petitioners as is brought before this Court as their representation and issue appropriate directions, as may be warranted in the fact situation of the case of each of the petitioners. That be done within three months from today. Needless to observe that this order is not an expression of opinion either way that the petitioners are bound to be accommodated. The claim for accommodation of the petitioners would obviously be subject to availability of vacancy and subject to the regulations, as may be applicable to such appointment. The respondent No.2 shall communicate this position to the petitioners, as expeditiously as possible and in any case, within two weeks from the date of this decision. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (S.S. SHINDE, J) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J) 10.03.2010. PLK/*
