thereafter filed a Contempt Petition [CP No.28/2009], which was disposed of vide order dated 6th April, 2009 recording the statement of counsel for the respondent that in case of a vacancy, the claim of the petitioner for engagement and regularization would be considered, subject to his eligibility. The petitioner subsequently filed another Contempt Petition [CP No.338/2009], which was disposed of, by order dated 6th October, 2009. It noted that there was a vacancy for which the respondent had consulted DOP&T for directions, and in that view of the matter, notice of contempt was discharged. By letter dated 14th July, 2011 of the Ministry of Law & Justice, the petitioner was intimated about non-consideration of his case for regularization on two grounds. Firstly, the petitioner’s factual assertion regarding vacancy in group ‘D’ post was denied in terms of an OM.No.1/1/2008-IC dated 24th December, 2008, as all erstwhile group ‘D’ posts were to be filled up in group ‘C’. Secondly, as per Central Civil Service (Recruitment and Promotion) Rules, 2008, no further recruitment was to be made in group ‘D’ posts in future.
