RAMDAYAL KARKETTA Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) 1997(1) PLJR 509 whereby the University was directed to regularize the services of the petitioners and to pay their salaries and allowances at par with other similarly situated regular employees. That order was again challenged by the University in L.P.A. No.221 of 2000(R) which was dismissed on 25.7.2000 but even then the order passed by this Court in the writ application was not complied with and hence, the petitioners had to brought contempt application and also filed a civil review application, bearing Civil Review no.32 of 2002 wherein it was placed before the Court that the State of Jharkhand has already sanctioned the posts. Pursuant to the statement made on behalf of the State, Vice -Chancellor, Ranchi University, Ranchi was directed to look into the matter and to pay salaries and allowances to the petitioners at par with the regular employees. Pursuant to order dated 13.11.2002 passed in aforesaid Civil Review application, services of the petitioners were regularized and are being paid salaries in regular scale. However, learned counsel Mr. A.Allam appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the grievance of the petitioners is that though petitioners are now being paid regular salaries, pursuant to order dated 13.11.2002 passed in Civil Review application but the authorities are not giving regular salaries to the petitioners from October, 1994 till they were given regular salaries and therefore, this writ application has been filed praying therein to direct the respondent to pay salary in regular scale from October, 1994 till the date when the petitioners started getting regular salaries and also to give seniority with effect from the date when the petitioners were initially appointed on daily wage basis.

(2.) AS against this Mr. A.K.Mehta learned counsel appearing for the University submits that prayer made in this writ application is quite untenable for the reason that posts on which the petitioners are working were never sanctioned by the State Government during the period for which regular salaries have been sought to be paid.

(3.) ACCORDINGLY , I do not find any merit in this writ application. Hence, this writ application is dismissed.
