SMRITI DAS Vs. STATE OF TRIPURA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Both the writ petitions being WP(C)No.186 of 2018 [Smt. Smriti Das v. State of Tripura and Others] and WP(C)No.192 of 2018 [Smt. Niyasha Das @ Niyasha Rani Das v. State of Tripura and Others] are combined for disposal by a common judgment inasmuch as nature of challenge as raised in these writ petitions are identical. Even the facts are almost similar. Whether the petitioners were recruited as the Gram Sevika under the Rural Development Department or the petitioners were recruited under the District Rural Development Authority is the question that has emerged eminently in these writ petitions.

(2.) In the writ petition being WP(C)No.186 of 2018 [Smt. Smriti Das v. State of Tripura and Others], the petitioner has urged to declare the memorandum dated 03.03.2017 [Annexure-6 to the writ petition] issued by the Chief Executive Officer, Unakoti DRDA, whereby the petitioners who were holding the post of RD Officer [on deputation] is reverted to her original post of Gram Sevika with effect from 01.03.2017.

(3.) In the writ petition being WP(C)No.192 of 2018 [Smt. Niyasha Das @ Niyasha Rani Das v. State of Tripura and Others] the petitioner has urged the resembling relief but some ancilliary reliefs are not urged in this writ petition. The petitioner has sought that the memorandum dated 03.03.2017 [Annexure-6 to the writ petition] issued by the Chief Executive Officer, Unakoti DRDA be declared discriminatory, illegal and unconstitutional and therefore, be set aside.
