For the Petitioner/s : Mr.Rajendra Prasad Singh, Srr. Adv. Mr. Rajeev Kumar Singh, Adv.
For the Respondent/s : Mr. Krishna Chandra Jha, AC to AAG-8 =========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 23-12-2016 Heard Mr. Rajendra Prasad Singh, learned senior counsel
appearing for the petitioners and Mr. Krishna Chandra Jha, learned Assisting Counsel to Additional Advocate General No.8 for the State. Though the writ petition was filed on a misconception to question the order dated 21.9.2016 as being adversarial to the interest of the petitioners but considering the import of the order which in fact extends the contract of service of the petitioners, Mr. Singh, learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioners instead chose to withdraw the said prayer and to press the writ petition for the purpose of seeking regularisation of the services of the petitioners who had been appointed on contract basis following the advertisement present at Annexure-3. It is not in dispute that the contract has been extended from time to time and the evidence thereof is present at Annexures- 9 to 11.
Lastly through the order present at Annexure-1 dated 21.9.2016 instructions have been issued for taking steps for regularisation on the post and until such time for extension of the services of these contract appointees. The petitioners are aggrieved by the advertisement present at Annexure-19 which prima-facie advertises the posts for the purpose of absorption of these contract appointees appointed under the Integrated Child Protection Scheme against those posts. Mr. Singh advocating for the petitioners has made reference to a decision of the State Government present at Annexure-7 to submit that though a decision was taken for regularisation of these contract appointees but instead the respondents have gone ahead with the advertisement.
In my opinion, there is nothing in the advertisement which is
adversarial to the interest of petitioners rather the recitals at paragraph 2 sufficiently protects the contract appointees who have been granted preference in appointment and reads as under: "1. jkT; ljdkj n~okjk fu/kkZfjr ,oa lkekU; iz'kklu foHkkx] fcgkj ljdkj n~okjk vkj{k.k ds laca/k esa tkjh fd;s x;s fon~;eku fn'kkfunsZ"kksa ds vuq#i gh fu;qfDr;kWa dh tk;sxh ,oa bldk ykHk dsoy fcgkj jkT; ds LFkk;h fuoklh dks gh ns; gksxkA

. A decision taken vide Annexure-7 for regularisation of these petitioners and others has been translated in the advertisement present at Annexure-19 which runs in accordance with the decision. No cause for indulgence is made out.
The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (Jyoti Saran, J) SKPathak/- AFR/NAFR AFR CAV DATE NA Uploading Date 25-12-2016 Transmission Date NA
