Court No.2 IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL. Writ Petition (S/B) No.1675/2002. Jagmohan Singh Rawat …….. Petitioner Versus State of Uttaranchal through Secretary Nagar Vikas, Uttaranchal Shasan, District-Dehradun. ……… Respondents Sri Sharad Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri H.M.Raturi, learned Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. Date: May 02, 2008. Hon’ble P.C.Verma,J. This petition has been filed seeking writ of certiorari quashing the order dated 30.10.2002 passed by respondent No.2, contained in Annexure No.7 to the writ petition. Further, a writ of mandamus has also been sought commanding the respondents to pay the petitioner 2nd promotional pay scale of Rs. 8000-13,500. 2. The petitioner was initially appointed in the Urban Ceiling Department, which has been abolished because of the repeal of the Act. The petitioner was absorbed in the office of Director, Local Bodies on 31.03.2001. Now the petitioner has been attached to Nagar Nigam, Dehradun by the impugned order. 2 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the office of the Director, Local Bodies is a Government office while the office to which the petitioner is being attached is an office under the local authority. The petitioner is being deprived of the benefit of Article 311 of the Constitution of India. Considering this aspect, this High Court granted the interim order and the petitioner is continuing after the interim order in the office of Director, Local Bodies. Only one year’s service of the petitioner is left. Therefore, the petitioner shall not be attached to Nagar Nigam and shall be continued in the office of Director, Local Bodies. 4. I do not agree with the contention of the learned Standing Counsel for the State that the petitioner being an employee of Urban Ceiling Department may get any relief or service benefit from his parent department and not from the respondent Nos. 1 & 2. 5. No other point is pressed. 6. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (P.C.Verma,J.) 02.05.2008 P.Singh
