CWP (T) No. 7696 of 2008 28.4.2009 Present: Ms. Nidhi Sharma vice counsel for the petitioners. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Vikas Rathore, Dy.A.G. for the respondents. The petitioners were appointed as DDT Beldars. Their appointments were seasonal in nature. Their services were terminated by the respondents. According to them, the persons junior to them, namely; Khem Raj, Swaru Ram and Dev Raj were retained. It is evident from the reply and Annexure R-3/A that Khem Raj, Swaru Ram and Dev Raj were senior to the petitioners. They have worked for seventeen years. The petitioners have worked for sixteen years. In these circumstances, there is no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed. However, since the petitioners have worked for sixteen long years, it will be desirable if the respondents engage them as and when the work is available. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. April 28, 2009.
