THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22719 of 1999 ORDER: The petitioner seeks the relief in the form of a direction to the respondents, to regularize his services as Bit Grinder. The father of the petitioner was employed with the Singareni Collieries Company Limited, the respondents herein. He was declared medically unfit, and as per the scheme, prevailing in the Company, the petitioner was initially engaged on compassionate grounds, as Temporary Tunnel Mazdoor, with effect from 28-11-1991. Thereafter, he was appointed as Badili Filler, in the year 1994. Two years thereafter, he was confirmed as Coal Filler, in the year 1996. The petitioner states that though his appointment was, as Badili Filler and Coal Filler, his services have been extracted as Bit Grinder. Petitioner submits that he holds necessary qualifications, required for the post of Bit Grinder, and as such, he is entitled to be regularized in that category. Respondents filed a counter-affidavit, opposing the writ petition. It is stated that the substantive appointment of the petitioner was, as Badili Filler, and thereafter Coal Filler, and the question of his being regularized as Bit Grinder, does not arise. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner himself stated in the affidavit filed by him that his appointment was, as Badili Filler, and thereafter Coal Filler. No proceedings were issued by the respondents, at any point of time, appointing the petitioner as Bit Grinder. Further, no orders were issued, requiring him to discharge the functions of Bit Grinder. The regularization of an employee can be only against the post to which, he was appointed. Therefore, the question of regularizing the petitioner against the post of Bit Grinder does not arise. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.17-06-2010 KO
