ILA CHANDRA SHARMA Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) ALL these petitions are identical in nature wherein the petitioners are claiming the status of semi permanent work-charged employees on completion of continuous service for two years as per rule 3 (3) of the Rajasthan Work- Charged Employees Service Rules, 1964 (for short the Rules ).

(2.) AT the out-set, it may be stated that the present litigation could have been avoided in case the authorities concerned had taken a proper decision objectively keeping in view the various decisions of this Court rendered in similar matters wherein directions have been given to grant semi-permanent status to a work-charged employee on completion of two years service if his service record is satisfactory. It also appears that before approaching this court, representations were made by the petitioners drawing attention of the authorities towards the decisions of this Court and circulars issued by other departments in identical situation, but still the matter was not considered by the authorities which is really shocking and distressing as such attitude causes unnecessary and unwanted litigation.

(3.) THE above rules and clarification have been considered, and interpreted by this Court from time and again it has been consistently held that on completion of two years satisfactory service, a casual employee acquires right to be declared semi permanent and employer is under obligation to pass appropriate order for conferring this status as work charged employee if their service record is satisfactory in the opinion of the competent authority.
