V/S
UNION OF INDIA Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) ALL the above OAs having common facts and reliefs are being disposed of by a common order. O.A. No. 1685/12 has been made the leading case. The reliefs prayed for in O.A. Nos. 1684/12, 1685/12, 1809/12 and 1718/12 are as follows:

(2.) THE applicants have averred that they have been working in different offices over varying period doing jobs normally performed by Group D employees but as casual workers. The Department had compiled lists of casual workers in the department for the year 2008 -2009. All those who have been engaged prior to that date find their names in the list dated 8.2.2010 (A -2).

(3.) THE respondents by keeping on with the practice of engagement of casual labourers for regular Group D and keeping Group D posts vacant have flouted the DOPT OM No. 49014/2/86 -Estt. (C) dated 7.6.1988 and the Recruitment Rules of Group D appointment in the Indian Audit & Accounts Department (IA & AD) which provide for priority to casual labourers over outsiders.
