IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 86 of 2004 (S/B) V.K. Chaudhary. .……… Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand & others. .………. Respondents Mr. I.P. Gairola, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. H.M. Raturi, Standing Counsel for the respondents. JUDGMENT Coram: Hon’ble J.S. Khehar, C.J. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. J.S. KHEHAR, C. J. (Oral) The petitioner claims to have been appointed against the post of Principal (Class II) in the pay-scale of Rs. 850-1720/- by the selection committee on the basis of the recommendation of the Governor. The petitioner further claims to have continued to render service as a Principal (Class II) eversince then, without any interruption whatsoever. 2. Based on his continuation in service uninterruptedly from the year 1988, the petitioner claims regularisation under the Uttaranchal Regularisation of Ad-hoc Appointments (on posts within the purview of the Public Service Commission) Rules, 2002. It is the case of the petitioner, that he has made a representation for regularisation and fixation of his seniority under the aforesaid Rules, but no decision has been taken thereon till date. Learned counsel for the petitioner states, that the petitioner will be satisfied, if the instant writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to take a final decision on the representation made by the petitioner dated 02.05.2003 (Annexure No. 6). 3. Learned counsel for the respondents states, that he has no objection to the disposal of the instant writ petition in terms of the prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. In view of the above, without going into the merits of the claim raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner, we consider it just and appropriate to direct respondent No. 2, i.e. the Principal Secretary, Labour 2 and Employment, Uttaranchal Sashan, Dehradun, to consider the claim of the petitioner advanced through his representation dated 02.05.2003, for regularisation under the Uttaranchal Regularisation of Ad-hoc Appointments (on posts within the purview of the Public Service Commission) Rules, 2002, and pass an appropriate order within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. It will be appreciated, if respondent No. 2, i.e. the Principal Secretary, Labour and Employment, Uttaranchal Sashan, Dehradun, while disposing of the claim raised by the petitioner, passes a well-reasoned speaking order. 5. The instant writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. Order dasti on payment of usual charges. 6. In case, the decision rendered by respondent No. 2 is not acceptable to the petitioner, it will be open to the petitioner to assail the same before the State Public Services Tribunal, Uttarakhand.
