BHANWARI LAL SHARMA Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) SINCE on similar set of facts almost same relief has been claimed by all the petitioners, on joint request of the parties, the above writ petitions were heard together and are being decided by this common order.

(2.) GOVERNMENT of India introduced a scheme in the year 1974-75 for imparting nonformal education to the children in the age group of 9/11 years who were either school drop-out or did not go to school. The scheme provided for the opening of Nonformal Education Centres (Part-time) by the State GOVERNMENT with the help of Central GOVERNMENT grant. Under the same scheme, the State GOVERNMENT also started a project under the Directorate of Literacy Nonformal Education Department and established Nonformal Education Centres in different districts.

(3.) MR. K. K. Sharma has further submitted that in the present case, there is definitely a relationship of master and servant and right of employment cannot be curtailed by the State Government in such an arbitrary manner without any basis or reasonable grounds. MR. K. K. Sharma though very fairly conceded that no orders for regularisation of services of the petitioners can be made by this court, however, the court can always direct the respondent State to frame a proper scheme to adjust all the existing Instructors/supervisors working in the nonformal education programme by framing proper rules for them providing also a pay scale or even minimum pay looking to their work and duties.
