WP(C) 6183/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioners who served as fixed pay employees under the Assam State Minor Ir rigation Development Corporation Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ’the Corporati on’) and were given VRS by Notification dated 13.5.2005 (Annexure-5) have approa ched the Court for a direction to set aside the VRS Notification and for their a bsorption in the Irrigation Department. This Court by judgment dated 29.11.2007 in WP(C) No.7383/2005 (Annexure-6) had h eld that the employees of the Corporation are entitled to VRS benefits. In the W rit Appeal No.60/2009, a Division Bench of this Court on 15.5.2009 (Annexure-7) had declared that the retrenched employees of the Corporation don’t have any enf orceable right to claim absorption in the Irrigation Department, after closure o f the Corporation. Considering the fact that the VRS benefits were received by the petitioners in p ursuant to the Notification dated 13.5.2005 and bearing in mind the judgments in respect of similarly situated employees of the Corporation who were given VRS b enefits, I see no merit in the present case and the same is accordingly dismisse d. However dismissal of the Writ Petition will not foreclose the option of the empl oyees to receive VRS benefits if unpaid, from the concerned Authorities.
