Section 50

The Mayor is the appointing authority in the appointment of executive engineer. The Ministry of LGRD may be the controlling Ministry of DCC, but has got no authority in the matter of appointment in any posts of DCC.
The Appellate Division held that on considering the position of the writ petitioner in the service of DCC, Appellate Division finds that he joined DCC on 21.06.1998 on being posted in the aforesaid project, DUTP as executive engineer in DCC which is still continued. The Ministry of Establishment by its letter dated 20.05.2001 ac-corded approval, to absorption and creation/transfer in the revenue budget of 18 temporary posts including two posts of executive engineer together with appointment of personnel in said project, DUTP in the organogram of the Transport Engineering Division (TED) of DCC. While the sanction of the organogram was given by the Ministry of Establishment to two posts of executive engineers of the said project along with the officers holding the posts were also sanctioned. Pursuant to such approval, DCC already by its order dated 08.11.2001 transferred 15 employees including four temporary employees of the project in TED in such list of officers/employees, why the writ petitioner was not included could not be justified by DCC. If the said project, DUTP were meant to be sanctioned by transfer to newly created division, TED the service of the writ petitioner stood regularized and transferred to the said division after conclusion of the project.
