Mr. Anil Gaur, AAG submits the controversy is covered by the order passed by a coordinate Bench of this Hon’ble Court in Mahaveer Prasad Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. (S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.11611/2013) on 18.02.2022. The order reads as follows:

¶117

“The facts of the case are as under:

¶118

The petitioner was appointed as Cook-cum-Chowkidar with the respondent-Department on 01.11.1995. His services were retrenched on 01.03.1997 against which a claim was filed before Labour Court, Bikaner (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Labour Court’). Vide award dated 27.01.2001, the Labour Court proceeded on to allow the claim of the petitioner and the petitioner was declared to be entitled to reinstatement with continuity in service. A writ petition was preferred by the State against the award passed by the Labour Court which was

¶119

dismissed on 25.02.2002 and consequently the petitioner was reinstated in service on 19.10.2002. From 01.08.2005, the petitioner was again not permitted to work. In the circumstances, the petitioner again preferred a writ petition being Civil Writ Petition No.4979/2005 which was allowed vide order dated 02.09.2008 and in pursuance thereof the petitioner was reinstated on 06.06.2009.

¶120

After being reinstated when services of the petitioner

were

(7 of 13)

[2023/RJJD/002689]

not regularized he preferred a writ petition being Civil Writ Petition No.283/2011 and the same was disposed of vide order dated 12.01.2011. In the said writ petition it was observed and directed as under:

¶125

“In this view of the matter, the respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioner for regularization and at the time of considering his case of the petitioner, the aforesaid notification shall be taken into account and appropriate orders may be passed within a period of three months from today. It is also made clear that if petitioner is found entitled for regularization then all benefits as provided in the notification shall be given to the petitioner.”

¶126

In pursuance to the directions of this Court, the petitioner moved a representation before the respondentDepartment for regularization of his services but the same was rejected vide order dated 08.06.2011.

¶136

Against the order dated 08.06.2011 the present writ petition

¶137

has been preferred.

¶138

Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the order dated 08.06.2011 is totally bad in the eyes of law as all the reasons stated in the said order for rejection of his representation are totally illegal. He submitted that the fact of his being appointed through the Mess Committee, as alleged by the respondent- Department, had already been considered and adjudicated by the Labour Court in the year 2001 and it was the specific finding of the Labour Court that the petitioner was not an employee of Mess Committee but was an employee of the State Government. Counsel argued that therefore, at this stage, the same question cannot be raised by the State and neither can this Court readjudicate the same.

¶139

The second ground stated in the rejection order by the respondent-Department that the petitioner had not completed 10 years of service on 10.04.2006 without intervention of the Court, is also refuted by the Counsel on the ground that way back in the year 2001 and then in the year 2008 there has been a specific finding in his favor and his services had been directed to be deemed to be continuous. Counsel argued that therefore, his services ought to have been considered to be continuous and he was entitled for regularization w.e.f. the date of his initial appointment i.e. 01.11.1995. The third ground stated by the respondent-Department for rejection was that the petitioner was not in continuous service on the date of the amended rules i.e. 27.02.2009 therefore, his services cannot be regularized. In rebuttal, counsel submitted that by virtue of the orders of the Labour Court and the High Court his services were to be deemed to be continuous from the year 1995 and therefore, he did complete 10 years of service in the year 2009 when the amended rules came into effect.

¶140

(9 of 13)

¶141

[2023/RJJD/002689]

¶142

Counsel further argued that vide order dated 12.01.2011 there was specific direction given by this Court to regularize services of the petitioner whereas the Department has proceeded on to reject his representation dehors the specific findings of this Court. Counsel relied upon the following judgments:

¶143

1. D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No.603/2021

¶144

(State of Rajasthan & Ors. Vs. Krishan Kumar Saini)

¶145

2. D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No.347/2019 (JNV University Vs. Mukesh Sharma) 3. S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1456/2016 (Sunil Kumar Ojha Vs. JNV University)

¶146

4. D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No.354/2014 (JNV University Jodhpur Vs. Jitendra Kumar)

¶147

5. S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.6038/2013 (Magan Lal Damor Vs. State of Rajasthan) 6. S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.11029/2011 (Smt. Chandana Devi Vs. State & Ors.)

¶148

Per contra, counsel for the respondent submitted that the petitioner was not entitled to be regularized because firstly the post on which he was working was not a sanctioned post. Secondly, he was employed through a Mess Committee and as held by the Hon’ble Apex Court in case of State of Rajasthan & Ors. Vs. Daya Lal & Ors. (Civil Appeal No.486/2011) the cooks appointed through a Mess Committee were not entitled to be regularized. Counsel argued that the petitioner was not in continuous service for a period of 10 years on 27.02.2009 and therefore, he was not entitled for regularization. Besides the judgment passed in Daya Lal’s case (supra), counsel also relied upon a Division Bench judgment passed in D.B. Civil Special Appeal(Writ) No.635/2014 (Buta Ram Meghwal Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.) and D.B. Special Appeal Writ No.1352/2011 (State of Rajasthan & Ors. Vs. Gulab Singh & Anr.).

¶149

Heard counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record.

¶150

For the adjudication of the present controversy, a brief discussion of the ratio laid down in Daya Lal’s case (supra) is

¶151

(10 of 13)

¶152

[2023/RJJD/002689]

¶153

essential. The two questions which were under consideration inthat matter were as under:

¶154

“(i) Whether persons appointed as Superintendent in aided non-governmental Hostels are entitled to claim absorption by way of regularization in government service or salary on par with Superintendents in Government Hostels?

¶155

(ii) Whether part-time cooks and chowkidars appointed temporarily by Mess Committee of Government Hostels, with two or three years service, are entitled to regularization by framing a special scheme?”

¶156

While dealing with question No.2 pertaining to the parttime cooks/chowkidars in Government Hostels, the Hon’ble Apex Court proceeded on to held as under:

¶157

“11. The part-time cooks and chowkidars were employed on temporary basis in the Government hostels in the years 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998. They approached the High court in the year 1999 (except Madan Lal Yogi who approached in the year 1997). The services of some of them had been terminated within on or two years from the date of temporary appointment. Though the State had taken a decision to terminate all those who were appointed on consolidated wage basis, the other respondents continued because of the interim orders by courts. Service for a period of one or two years or continuation for some more years by virtue of final orders under challenge, or interim orders, will not entitle them to any kind of relief either with reference to regularization nor for payment of salary on par with regular employees of the Department.

¶158

12. The decision relied upon by the High Court namely the decision in Anshkalin Samaj Kalyan Sangh of the High Court no doubt directed the state government to frame a scheme for regularization of part-time cooks and chowkidars. It is clear from the said decision, that such scheme was intended to be an one-time

¶159

(11 of 13)

¶160

[2023/RJJD/002689]

¶161

measure. Further said decision was rendered by the High Court prior to Uma Devi, relying upon the decision of this Court in Daily Rated Casual Labour vs. Union of India [1988 (1) SCC 122], Bhagwati Prasad Vs. Delhi State Mineral Development Corporation [1990 (1) SCC 361] and Dharwad District PWD Literate Dalit Wage Employees Association vs. State of Karnataka [1990 (2) SCC 369]. These directions were considered, explained and in fact, overruled by the Constitution Bench in Uma Devi. The decision in Anshkalin Samaj Kalyan Sangh is no longer good law. At all events, even if there was an one time scheme for regularisation of those who were in service prior to 1.5.1995, there cannot obviously be successive directions for scheme after scheme for regularization of irregular or part-time appointments. Therefore the said decision is of no assistance.”

¶162

A perusal of the above findings as reached by the Hon’ble Apex Court makes it clear that the Court has proceeded on the ratio as laid down in Secretary, State of Karnataka vs. Uma Devi [(2006) 4 SCC 1] wherein it was held that the scheme of regularization was a one time measure and no further directions can be issued in terms of that scheme. In view of the said observations, the Hon’ble Apex Court proceeded on to allow the appeals of State. It is relevant to note that the same aspect whether the directions issued in Uma Devi’s case are one time measure or not has also later been considered in the case of Narendra Kumar Tiwari & Ors. vs. State of Jharkhand & Ors. [(2018) 8 SCC 238]; Shri Basudeb Debnath and Ors. vs. The Union of India and Ors. decided on 09.03.2021; Jai Narain Vyas University and Anr. vs. Mukesh Sharma (D.B. SAW No.347/2019) and State of Rajasthan & Ors. vs. Krishan Kumar Saini (D.B. SAW No.603/2021).

¶163

In the recent judgment passed in D.B. Special Appeal Writ No. 603/2021; State of Rajasthan & Ors. v. Krishna Kumar Saini, the Division Bench of this Court after considering the ratio as laid down in Uma Devi’s case and in

¶164

(12 of 13)

¶165

[2023/RJJD/002689]

¶166

Jai Narain Vyas University & Anr. v. Mukesh Sharma ; D.B. Special Appeal Writ No. 347/2019, observed that, “........ the government cannot continue to engage the petitioner for decades to come and at the same time deprive him of the benefits of regular scales of pay and regularization.”

¶167

In Magan Lal Damore v. The State of Rajasthan (S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 6038/2013, decided on 09.08.2016), a Co-ordinate bench of this Court observed as under:

¶168

“In the opinion of this Court, the authority who has taken decision not to regularize the services of petitioner has usurped the power to define that adjudication made by the Judge, Labour Court, Jodhpur which is upheld by this Court is intervention of the Court. In fact, it is not interference of the Court but it is an adjudication made by the Court whereby, order of termination was set aside in legal proceeding. Interference can be understood if any person is working under the interim orders of the Court but petitioner has not worked under the interim orders of this Court but while quashing his termination order dated 01.11.1995, the Judge, Labour Court, Jodhpur held that petitioner is entitled for continuity in service.”

¶169

In view of the ratio as laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in cases of Narendra Kumar Tiwari, Basudeb Debnath, Krishan Kumar Saini and Jai Narain Vyas University, it can be safely concluded that the process of regularization as held in Uma Devi’s case in not a one time measure. As held in Narendra Kumar Tiwari’s case, the State cannot, in the garb of Uma Devi’s case, continue the employees for years together without regularizing their services.

¶170

In the present matter, a bare perusal of the award dated 27.01.2001 makes it clear that the services of the petitioner were directed to be deemed to be continuous and the award has become final for all purposes. Therefore, there can be no other view that the initial appointment of the petitioner i.e. 01.11.1995 would be considered for the purpose of regularization. The ratio as laid down in Uma Devi’s case was to be applied in those cases where the person

¶171

(13 of 13)

¶172

[2023/RJJD/002689]

¶173

continued in service because of certain interim orders passed by the Court. In the cases where there was a specific finding in favour of the employee regarding continuity of his services and the same having become final, would have the application.

¶174

By all means, the date of initial appointment of the petitioner is to be considered in the present matter for calculating 10 years of his services for the purpose of regularization.

¶175

In view of the ratio as laid down in Uma Devi’s case and Krishna Kumar Saini’s case and in view of the observations as made above, the present writ petition is allowed. The respondents are directed to regularize the services of the petitioner after completion of 10 years from the date of his initial appointment i.e. 01.11.1995. The petitioner would be entitled to all the consequential benefits thereof.

¶176

The said exercise be completed by the respondentDepartment within a period of three months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order.”

¶177

In light of the aforesaid order, the present petitions are allowed in the same terms. The respondents are directed to regularize the services of the petitioners after completion of 10 years from the date of their initial appointment. The petitioners would be entitled to all the consequential benefit thereof. The said exercise be completed by the respondent-Department within a period of three months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order.

¶178

All pending applications stand disposed of.
