(1.) THE instant writ petition has been filed for issuing a direction to the respondents to treat petitioner as having been appointed in substantive capacity with effect from 16.5.83 or in the alternative to consider him for regularisation w.e.f. 16.5.83 and give him seniority and other consequential benefits accordingly.
(2.) THE factual gamut reveals that petitioner started working with the respondent Corporation as a Typist on daily wages from 1980. On 14.5.83, a test of Typists was held and his name appeared in the Select List and in pursuance of that he was issued appointment letter 16.5.83 (Annexure 4) which reads as under :- "THE following persons working on stipendary basis in the Corpora- tion are hereby appointed on the post of Typist in the pay scale.......with usual allowances on temporary basis till further orders. THE services of these persons will be governed by the Rajasthan Financial Corporation (Staff) Regulation, 1958 and annual grade increments to these persons would be available only after qualifying in Stenography or passing a Graduate Examination....... (1) Shri Thomas Chandy, (2) Shri Sant Kumar Sharma, (3) Shri Rakesh Kumar."
(3.) IN a case like the instant the Court has to be satisfied as what is the legally justiciable right of the petitioner which has been infringed and for which the petitioner can resort to the discretionary relief under Article 226 of the Constitution of INdia. The Supreme Court in Purshotam Lal Dingra vs. Union of INdia (2), has held that "A person can be said to acquire a lien on a post only when he has been confirmed and made permanent on that post and not earlier" and further held that "a Government servant holding a post temporarily does not have any right to hold the said post." IN R.K. Mishra vs. U.P. State Handloom Corporation (3), the Apex Court has taken the same view.
