ASSISTANT ENGINEER, MINOR IRRIGATION SUB-DIVISION (WEST) SITAMARHI------------------RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3 6.8.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner wants a direction upon the respondents to accept his joining which the respondents are refusing to do. Petitioner was working as Pump Chalak and Pump Chaukidar in the Minor Irrigation Department. He was a daily wager working in that capacity for many years. Through a letter issued by the Irrigation Department contained in annexure-1 all the persons in similar position including the present petitioner came to be assigned responsibility. The name of the petitioner figured at serial no.22 in the letter. The fact is that the petitioner suddenly left his responsibility on 1.4.2002 and returned back only after a year on 19.4.2003. When the concerned respondent refused to accept his so called joining and his representation went unheeded he filed the present writ application. It is apparent from reading annexure-1 that the - 2 - petitioner was not a permanent appointee. His accommodation was made by virtue of length of service on a daily wager and according to annexure-1 it was an ad-hoc arrangement in which the petitioner was accommodated. It is a fact that petitioner was missing for a year from such a responsibility when a permanency is not even confirmed. There is no right of the petitioner to claim his post and position as a daily wager back because he himself disappeared for a year abandoning the responsibility put upon him. No case is made out to give any direction upon the respondent to accept his joining. This writ application is misplaced and it is dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
