(1.) Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.
(2.) The petitioners have filed this writ petition challenging the validity and correctness of the judgment and order dated 18.10.2005 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Allahabad in Original Application No. 1095 of 2003, Smt. Anupam Rani versus Union of India and others.
(3.) This petition has been preferred on the grounds that the impugned judgment and order dated 18.10.2005 of the Tribunal is illegal and perverse as erroneous findings have been recorded therein; that respondent no.1 was a substitute and had acquired temporary status; that the husband of respondent no.1, Rajesh Kumar (since deceased) was engaged on 17.5.1986 as Casual Enquiry-cum-Reservation Clerk during the summer rush of 1986 and according to the provisions of para 2005 of the Indian Railway Establishment Manual Volume-II the grant of temporary status does not imply appointment to the temporary post; that the grant of temporary status only confers certain rights and privileges on a casual labour to be treated as temporary for certain purposes.
