Whether casual employees who worked for a substantial period in the BIWTC without any stigma are entitled to be absorbed in the revenue setup.
The High Court Division considered that it is conceded that there are sufficient vacant posts of Greaser for the appointment of the petitioners. Therefore the High Court Division does not find any reason for not absorbing/ regularizing the service of the petitioners in the revenue setup. The High Court Division hold that the petitioners can legitimately expect to be absorbed/regularized in the revenue set-up as some other employees who were appointed along with the petitioners on ‘no work no pay’ basis has been absorbed/ regularized in the revenue set up. In the above facts and circumstances of the case, the High Court Division is of the view that ends of justice would be best served if the High Court Division directs the respondents to absorb/regularize/confirm the service of the petitioners in the revenue setup except the petitioner No. 1. The respondents are directed to absorb/regularize/confirm the service of the petitioners in the permanent post of Greaser under the BIWTC except the petitioner No. 1 within 90 (ninety) days from the date of receipt of the copy of the judgment subject to the condition that they are not otherwise disqualified. With the above direction, the Rule is disposed of. Md.
