Court No. 2 IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (S/S) No. 3786 of 2001 (Old No. 5119 of 1996). Arvind Kumar S/o Begh Raj, R/o Village- Jwalapur, District- Hardwar. ………… Petitioner Versus 1. Board of Revenue U.P at Lucknow Through its Secretary, 2. State of U.P. through its Secretary Revenue Department, Civil Secretariat, Lucknow. 3. District Magistrate, Hardwar. ………… Respondents. Date: March 25, 2008 Hon’ble P.C.Verma,J. Heard Sri Sharad Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri H.M. Raturi, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The dispute in the writ petition is highly severe in nature. Therefore, the petition is being disposed of. The petitioner was engaged on daily wages on the post of electrician on 08.09.1989 and his services were terminated on 24.08.1992. The petitioner challenged the said termination order at Allahabad High Court in a writ petition which was decided on 06.09.1994 observing that in case regular appointment is made on the aforesaid post, the services rendered by the petitioner shall be taken into account and benefit thereof shall be given to him. No regular selection has been made for appointment on the post of electrician, as there is no sanctioned post of electrician. However, the respondents taking the lenient view have engaged the petitioner on contract basis and he is getting wages as per terms of contract. Since the post of electrician is not sanctioned in the office of District Magistrate, Hardwar, therefore the order passed by the High Court in the earlier writ petition survives and shall be given effect to whenever post is sanctioned and selection is made. 4 The Petition is disposed of accordingly.
