THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 25752 of 2000 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of 1st respondent in rejecting the proposals of second respondent for regularization of services of the petitioners, communicated vide proceedings No.3462/WCFC/A2/199 dated 25.3.2000, as arbitrary and illegal; consequently, to direct the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioners from the date of their initial appointment with all consequential benefits including seniority and other monetary benefits. According to the petitioners, they were appointed on 21.3.1988, 15.10.1991, 26.8.1989, 1.6.1988, 3.10.1989, 1.6.1988, 15.6.1988, 3.11.1987 and 23.9.1995 respectively by the appointing authority – 2nd respondent. Thus, they had put in more than 15 years of service as of today. In fact, earlier petitioners have filed W.P.No. 6750 of 1998, 6260 of 1998 and 23906 of 1998 along with other similarly situated persons seeking regularization etc. The said writ petitions were disposed of by common order dated 22.7.1999 directing the 2nd respondent to consider the cases of each of the individual for regularization of services in accordance with the provisions of G.O.Ms.No. 212 dated 22.4.1994. It appears, in pursuance of the said order, proposals were sent recommending the names of petitioners for regularization. However, first respondent, vide proceedings dated 10.3.2000, rejected the proposals of 2nd respondent on the ground that there are no sanctioned posts in the Corporation and, as such, petitioners are not entitled for regularization of their services in terms of G.O.Ms.No.212 dated 22.4.1994. There is no necessity of going into all the details. Having regard to the fact that similarly situated persons were extended the benefit of putting on minimum time scale and they are being continued in service, the respondents are directed to extend the minimum time scale in case of petitioners also and continue them in service till regular vacancies are available and as and when regular vacancies arise, absorb the petitioners in such vacancies with all consequential benefits, as per law. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 25-11-2010. MVB.
