1 S.B. WRIT PETITION NO.5959/2007 Inder Prakash Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. DATE OF ORDER : 3.4.2008 HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. I.R. Choudhary, for the petitioner. Mr. N.K. Mehta, Dy. Govt. Counsel. **** By this petition for writ a direction is sought to appoint the petitioner as LDC and further to grant selection grade to him on completion of 9 years of service from the date of appointment as casual workman under the Rule 3 of the Rajasthan Public Works Department (B & R) including Gardeners, Irrigation, Water Works, Ayurvedic and Forest Department Work-charged Employees Service Rules, 1964. Briefly stated the facts of the case are that the petitioner claimed appointment on the post of LDC on compassionate grounds, however, he accepted appointment on the post of Helper in work- charged cadre on 19.7.1994. The petitioner subsequently claimed for appointment to the post of LDC and also for grant of selection grade on completion of nine years of service by taking into consideration 19.7.1994 as the date of his initial appointment. Having considered the arguments advanced, I do not find any merit in the petition for writ. Once, the petitioner has accepted appointment on compassionate ground on the post of Helper it is not open for him to seek any change at subsequent stage. So far as the grant of selection grade is concerned a work-charged employee is entitled for computation of the term only on being conferred semi 2 permanent status. The respondents have already granted selection grade to the petitioner by computing nine years of the services from the date semi permanent status was conferred to him. In view of whatever states above the petition for writ is having no merit, therefore, the same is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR),J. Jgoyal
