ORDER: The Writ Petition is filed to issue Writ of Mandamus directing the first respondent to obtain necessary particulars from the other respondents concerned and also records produced by the petitioner before the enquiry officer and consider the petitioner’s case to confer temporary status as Mazdoor and to allow him to work as casual mazdoor. It is the case of the petitioner that he was engaged as Casual Mazdoor by the respondents on 05.10.1998; as his services were not regularised, he filed O.A.No.116 of 2003, which was disposed of directing the fourth respondent to dispose of his representation dated 20.11.2002 after giving reasonable opportunity; the officer concerned did not send his particulars to higher authorities in response to the circular dated 26.04.2001 issued for regularisation of casual labours; the order dated 10.02.2004 issued by the fourth respondent establishes that he worked from 05.10.1998 to 31.12.1999; Hence, the Writ Petition. Respondents filed counter affidavit contending that the petitioner worked as Casual Mazdoor in the months of November and December, 1998; as per the directions of the Central Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No.116 of 2003, the petitioner’s representation for regularisation was disposed of rejecting the claim on the ground that the petitioner failed to submit valid attendance sheets for the relevant period; in the letter dated 10.02.2004 of the fourth respondent, it is clear that except the attendance sheet of July and October, 1999, no other attendance sheet submitted by the petitioner was having office seal of the Junior Telecom Officer; since the petitioner never worked as Casual Mazdoor except in the months of November and December, 1998, question of conferring temporary status and regularisation does not arise and hence, prayed for dismissal of the Writ Petition. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that if the records of the respondents are produced, it would be helpful to the petitioner to show as to how many number of days he worked; that as per the subsequent instructions also, some of the left over casual labours have been considered and therefore, the Writ Petition may be allowed. On the other hand, the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents contended that the petitioner has not filed any proof to show that he worked for a period of 240 days prior to 01.08.1998 and therefore, his case can not be considered for giving temporary status. The Writ prayed for in this Writ Petition is Mandamus. It is a basic and fundamental principle that Mandamus can not be given unless there is infringement of legal or statutory right. There is no statutory or legal obligation for the respondents to produce the documents as prayed for in the Writ Petition. In regard to conferment of temporary status, it is specifically stated in the counter affidavit that the petitioner has not fulfilled the conditions as per the scheme announced by the respondents i.e. he should be engaged as Casual Labour as on 01.08.1998 and should be continuously working for a period of 240 days in the preceding one year prior to 01.08.1998 without any break and should be currently engaged as Casual Labour. Since the petitioner failed to produce any documentary evidence, the case of the petitioner can not be considered for regularisation. The scheme contemplates that one must be working as Casual Labour as on 01.08.1998 and have been continuously working without any break for about 240 days. Since the two requirements were not fulfilled, question of giving any direction to the respondents to act contrary to the scheme does not arise. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. However, this order will not preclude the respondents to continue the petitioner as Casual Labour subject to availability of work. --------------------- (K.C.Bhanu, J.) 05.09.2005 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 8653 of 2004 Date: 05.09.2005 Between: K.Krishna, s/o.
