KANHAIYA ROUT Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal has been preferred against the order dated 12.1.2009 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(S) No. 2000/ 2003 whereby the writ petition filed by the petitioner/appellant herein was rejected.

(2.) THE petitioner/appellant herein had filed the writ petition for quashing the order passed by the Deputy Commissioner, Dumka rejecting his representation claiming reinstatement on the post of Peon. The Deputy Commissioner had rejected the representation of the petitioner/appellant herein on the ground that his appointment in the establishment was not regular in nature as the procedure was not followed while granting him appointment and therefore, he was not fit to be reinstated in service who had been retrenched earlier. The learned Single Judge was pleased to reject the plea of the petitioner/appellant herein and thus, the writ petition was dismissed against which this appeal has been preferred.

(3.) WE find no substance in this plea for the reason that the employees who had been serving in the work charge establishment obviously had the benefit of regularization of service under the I.D. Act as the other employees had been discharging duties in the work charge establishment. Obviously their case stands on a different footing than the petitioner/ appellant's case who had been granted appointment in the regular scale of pay without even following any procedure or any rule in this regard.
