This order disposes of eleven linked writ petitions regarding denied pension benefits for retired casual workers of a Research Station. The Court held the matter was squarely covered by its own prior judgment in Ananta Das, leading to dismissal on identical terms.
None granted; petitions dismissed on the same terms as the precedent Ananta Das.
This page shows the compact analysis of this judgement. The full analysis — procedural history, issue-by-issue holdings with ratio and obiter, advocates, and paragraph-level evidence for every claim — is being added to the record in batches and will appear here when this judgement has been through it.

ORDER
Date : 21-03-2022
Heard Mr. K.R. Patgiri, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mrs. J. Das and Mrs. R. Borah, learned counsel, appearing for the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR); Mr. B. Chakravarty and Mr.
Page No.# 14/15
S.K. Medhi, learned Central Government Counsel, appearing for the respondents.
The petitioners before this Court are retired workers, who were appointed on casual basis under Ramie Research Station, Sorbhog, which is under the jurisdiction and control of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and Central Research Institute of Jute and Allied Fibers (CRIJAF). They claim to be given temporary status of casual labourers and then regularisation of their service in Grade-IV posts. The case of the petitioners was that the respondent authority had denied grant of pension to the petitioners on the ground that they belong to the category of temporary status casual workers and were never regularized in service.
The petitioners ultimately approached the Central Administrative Tribunal, where their claim was rejected and consequently they have filed the present writ petitions before this Court.
This Court has been informed that in a similar case, i.e. WP(C) No.8184/2017 (Ananta Das & Ors. -Vs- Union of India & Ors.), a decision has already been taken by this Court vide its judgment and order dated 26.06.2020, by which the writ petition has been dismissed as the Court did not find any merit in the writ petition. The said case relates to similarly situated casual workers, who were also governed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
It is admitted by Mr. K.R. Patgiri, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mrs. J. Das and Mrs. R. Borah, learned counsel for the Indian Council of Agricultural Research as well as Mr. B. Chakravarty and Mr. S.K. Medhi, learned Central Government Counsel that these matters are squarely covered by the decision of this Court rendered in the case of Ananta Das .

In view thereof, all these writ petitions are also disposed of on the
same terms and conditions as decided by this Court in the case of Ananta
Das .

1 issue framed by the court
