Tamil Nadu Forest Plantation Corporation Ltd., Mallachipuram, Kambarasampettai, Tiruchirapalli-620 101, represented by its Managing Director -cum- Chairman. : Respondent PRAYER: Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for the issue of a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to forthwith absorb the petitioner in suitable post in the respondent Corporation, commensurate with his educational qualifications, in regular time-scale of pay prior to finalization of any process of direct recruitment to the post of Forest Watcher. For Petitioner : Mr.M.Ravi For Respondent : Mr.T.S.Mohammed Mohideen Additional Government Pleader ORDER Though the petitioner has sought for a Mandamus, directing the respondent to forthwith absorb him in any suitable post in the respondent Corporation, commensurate with his educational qualifications, in regular time-scale of pay, prior to finalization of any process of direct recruitment to the post of Forest Watcher, Mr.M.Ravi, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it would be suffice, if the representation of the petitioner dated 21.02.2011 is disposed of expeditiously, before any decision is taken for recruitment. His submission is placed on record. 2. Though the petitioner has submitted that the matter of absorption is placed before the Board of Directors of the respondent Corporation on 31.05.2011, no materials have been placed before this Court to substantiate the said contention. The petitioner has also contended that the respondent Corporation has been raising a strange plea that there is no rule or provision in TAFCORN Service Regulations for such absorption. The question as to whether G.O.Ms.No.22, Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department, dated 28.02.2006 is applicable to TAFCORN, has to be decided by the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 Corporation. Therefore, no direction can be granted for absorption. However, considering the limited relief sought for by the learned counsel for the petitioner, a direction is issued to the respondent Corporation to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 21.02.2011, if acknowledged and pending on the file of the respondent Corporation, as expeditiously as possible. 3. With the above direction, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs.
