This writ petition has been filed for directing the respondents to absorb the petitioner permanently in service and secondly to grant him regular pay scale. In view of the judgment of Supreme Court in Secretary, State of Karnataka & Ors. Vs. Uma Devi & Ors. : 2006 (4) SCC Pg.1, a writ of mandamus directing the respondents cannot be maintained. The respondents asserted that the petitioner was engaged through a contractor. In such like situation, no positive direction even on other relief can be issued. The appropriate relief to the petitioner would be to approach the Government for getting the dispute to the concerned Industrial Court on the question whether contract 2 of employment was sham or camouflage so as to deprive the petitioner of his legitimate dues. In the result, this writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid remedy. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ)J. A.Arora/- Item No.20.
