Respondents Prayer:- Writ petition came to be numbered by transfer of O.A.No.8548 of 1998 on the file of the Tamil Nadu Administrative Tribunal praying to call for the records pertaining to the order of the second respondent in Advertisement No.28/98, dated 11.10.1998 and set aside the same in so far as it relates to selection to the post of Junior Assistant-cum-Typists and Bill Collectors Grade-I and allotment to the respondents 4 to 19 Town Panchayat and direct the respondents to appoint the members of the petitioner Association in regular time scale to the respective posts with all consequential benefits. For Petitioner : Mr.S.Mani For Respondents : Mr.S.Siva Shanmugam, Government Advocate ORDER The prayer in the writ petition is to quash the order of the second respondent in Advertisement No.28/98, dated 11.10.1998 in so far as it relates to selection to the post of Junior Assistant- cum-Typists and Bill Collectors Grade-I and allotment to the respondents 4 to 19 Town Panchayat and direct the respondents to appoint the members of the petitioner Association in regular time scale to the respective posts with all consequential benefits. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2. The grievance of the petitioner association is that many of the members of the petitioner association were working as Junior Assistant, Typist, Bill Collectors and Office Assistants etc., on daily wage basis from the year 1984 to 1996 and therefore, they should be considered for regular appointment. 3. Pending the Original Application, there was a direction not to terminate the services of the members of the petitioner association or replace them by Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission candidates and that direction was extended until further orders. 4. At present, when the writ petition comes up for final disposal, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the Government had considered the case of the persons who have been appointed on daily wage basis and have issued Government Orders from time to time regularising them. In so far as Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department is concerned, certain Government Orders have been passed. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it is possible that one or other members of the petitioner association might have been granted the benefit based on their period of service. The learned counsel for the petitioner however pleads that if there is any individual whose claim has not been considered, he may be permitted to make appropriate representation to the Government and seek the remedy by way of regularisation. 5. In this case, the writ petition is filed by the petitioner association seeking to set aside the advertisement No.28/98, dated 11.10.1998. That period is already over. As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner many of the members of the petitioner association might have already got the benefit. If that be so, no relief as prayed for can be granted in this writ petition. If one or other employee has been left out or has been denied certain benefits, it is open to the said persons to canvass his rights in accordance with law and he is also entitled to make representation to the appropriate authority. 6. The writ petition is disposed of in the above terms. No costs. Sd/ Assistant Registrar /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar jrl https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ To 1.
