2.The petitioner studied a certificate course in Carpentry conducted by the District Rural Development Agency, Vellore in the year 1991. Thereafter, he was appointed as Carpenter in the Sandalwood Products Factory, Thekkupattu, Vellore District in the year 1997. Thereafter, he was conferred with the permanent status as ordinary worker from 13.05.2005 by the Works Manager of the factory. Since the factory was not viable, it stopped functioning with effect from 01.08.2007. Therefore, the petitioner along with 14 permanent workers were redeployed to the 2nd respondent Corporation. Pursuant to the said redeployment, the petitioner joined at the 2nd respondent Corporation on 23.04.2008. Though the petitioner had been appointed and had been working all along as a permanent employee, he was treated only as a daily wages employee, of course, on permanent basis. Since the petitioner had been working in the factory for all these years, prior to that, he was also working as Carpenter on daily wages basis, of course, permanently in the 2nd respondent Corporation, he would be entitled to get absorption/regularisation on permanent basis and accordingly, he would also be entitled for all service benefits available to the permanent workers. Therefore, the petitioner for the said grievance of getting absorption approached the respondents and in this regard, the petitioner had sent representations and lastly in the representation sent on 24.06.2013, the petitioner requested the respondents to absorb him permanently and in aid of that, he had also invited the attention of the import of G.O.Ms.No.74 Personnel and Administrative Reforms (F) Department dated 27.06.2013. When the said request was pending with the 2nd respondent, the petitioner was transferred to the Sandalwood Factory at Vellore by orders of the 2nd respondent dated 19.07.2013. By virtue of the said transfer order, he had joined at the factory immediately and has been working in the said factory, even till date. In spite of his continuous work and the same has been recognised by the respondents, as permanent in nature, however, the respondents have not absorbed the services of the petitioner and his services was not regularised. Therefore, he had been repeatedly requesting the respondents to absorb him permanently. However, by the impugned order dated 24.07.2013, the 2nd respondent has rejected the request of the petitioner stating that the petitioner was appointed as Carpenter, as there is no such job called Carpenter. However, he was only appointed on permanent daily wages and he was working as such, hence he would not be entitled for any absorption and therefore, the request was rejected. Challenging the said order of the 2nd respondent, the petitioner has come out with the present writ petition with the aforesaid prayer.
