RAMA KISHAN GOYAL Vs. PROJECT OFFICER-CUM-SECRETARY

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner by this writ petition has challenged the order of termination dated 31st October, 1984 (Annexure -6) and he has prayed that the respondent may be directed to absorb the petitioner on a post equivalent to the post of Junior Accountant.

(2.) THE petitioner was given appointment on the post of Junior Accountant in the pay scale of 460 -770 in the Antyodaya Scheme in the Cooperative Department of Government of Rajasthan. Thereafter he was posted in the respondent Bank, namely, Nagaur Cooperative Land Development Bank Limited, Nagaur by the order dated 6th March, 1980. By Notification dated 3rd July, 1984 the Government of Rajasthan in Cooperative Department notified that on reconsideration a new staffing pattern has been brought into existence and that in the new staffing pattern no provision has been made for the post of Junior Accountant in the Land Development Banks. It was further stated in the said Notification that after 15th July, 1984 the Government will not reimburse the payments made to such Junior Accountant. Thereafter on 17th July, 1984 the Registrar, Cooperative Societies. Rajasthan, Jaipur instructed that since the post of Junior Accountant has been abolished therefore, these Junior Accountants may be absorbed against equivalent non -plan post in the Bank if they satisfy the qualifications required for the post. In pursuance of this communication the petitioner was informed by the communication dated 18th October, 1984 that the petitioner can be absorbed against the post of L.D.C. at the minimum of pay scale and if he is willing to be absorbed he should immediately inform. The petitioner by letter dated 18th October, 1984 (Anx. 4) informed the respondent that he was not willing to be absorbed as L.D.C. at the minimum of pay scale as he was on deputation he may be sent back to his parent department. Since the petition was not willing to join on the post of L.D.C, therefore, his services were dispensed with by the order dated 31st October, 1984 with effect from 15th July, 1984 vide Annexure -6. It is this that order the petitioner has challenged by filing the present writ petition.

(3.) IN the result, I do not find any merit in this writ petition. It is dismissed. No order as to costs.
