Versus The State of Maharashtra & others. ...Respondents... ..... Shri R.C. Patil, Advocate for petitioner. Shri V.B. Ghatge, AGP for respondent nos.1 & 2. Shri Girish Rane, Advocate for respondent no.3. ..... CORAM: P.V. HARDAS & A.V. POTDAR, JJ. DATE: 14.08.2009 PER COURT: Heard learned counsel for the parties. This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by which the petitioner claims appointment on account of retirement of his father as a Safai Kamgar in the Health Department. According to the petitioner, as per various Government resolutions issued from time to time, the children of Safai Kamgars have been granted an opportunity of being - 2 - employed in the place of their fathers. Relying on the said provision, an application came to be submitted by the petitioner to the respondents contending that the father of the petitioner had retired as a Safai Kamgar. The respondents repelled the claim of the petitioner on the ground that the father of the petitioner had been appointed as an Octroi Peon and not as a Safai Kamgar and, therefore, the said provisions would not come to the aid of the petitioner in seeking employment. Upon perusal of the petition, it is clear that the petitioner has not annexed a single document, which would indicate that his father had been appointed as a Safai Kamgar. The petitioner has annexed copy of the service book and the entries in the service book, particularly internal page no.4 of the service book clearly reveals that the father of the petitioner had been appointed as an Octroi Peon and not as a Safai Kamgar. The respondents at para 6 of the affidavit in reply have taken a categoric stand that the father of the petitioner had been appointed as Octroi Peon and not as Safai Kamgar. In the light of that, therefore, there is no merit in the petition and the same is summarily dismissed with no order as to costs. (A.V. Potdar, J.) (P.V. Hardas, J.) ndk/c1480931
