STATE OF RAJASTHAN Vs. SURAJ BHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS second appeal is directed against the judgment of District Judge, Ajmer confirming the judgment of Additional Civil' Judge, Ajmer in Civil Suit No. 120 of 1968/59 of 1967.

(2.) THE plaintiff who is a low paid employee filed a suit for declaration and arrears of Rs. 5,427. 73. He is Assistant teacher at Ajmer. According to the plaintiff, since he has given his option under Rule 12 of the Rajasthan Service (Protection of Service Conditions) Rules, 1957 and then he passed his B. A. Examination in 1957, he became entitled to be fixed in the time scale of trained graduate Grad II of 115-250 with effect from July 1, 1957. Inspite of repeated representations the proper fixation was not done and he was assured that proper action is being done.

(3.) FUNCTIONING under the constitution which is to provide justice, social and economic, it is most shocking that such litigation is entered into by the Government functionaries and relief is not given at the departmental level. Even when two courts have found in favour of a petty employee, he has been dragged to the High Court. The most unfortunate aspect is that from 1961 to 1985 he had to undergo the ordeal of representations after representations and then litigation after litigation.
