JUDGEMENT
AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH,J. -
(1.) Petitioners have approached this Court praying for quashing the
impugned order dated 12.05.2010 (Annexure P -7) passed by respondent
No.2 -the Director, Industrial Training Institute and Vocational Education,
Haryana, vide which their services have been terminated.
(2.) IT is the contention of the counsel for the petitioners that petitioner No.1 Kismat was one of the petitioners in CWP No.5289 of 2007
(Ashok Kumar and others Versus State of Haryana and others), whereas
Ved Pal petitioner No.2 was a petitioner in CWP No.5426 of 2007 (Jasbiro
Devi and others Versus State of Haryana and others) and petitioner No.3
Deepak Kumar was a petitioner in CWP No.5414 of 2007 (Rai Singh and
others Versus State of Haryana and others). These writ petitions were
disposed of by a Division Bench of this Court vide a common order dated
24.01.2008 (Annexure P -2) with the lead case being CWP No.5289 of 2007 (Ashok Kumar and others Versus State of Haryana and others).
State of Haryana preferred Special Leave Petition before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, which was disposed of by the said Court vide order
dated 13.07.2011 on the basis of a short affidavit filed by Shri Vijay Singh,
Joint Secretary to Government of Haryana, Industrial Training Department
dated 13.07.2011, wherein it was stated that the Government was prepared
to accommodate the eligible respondents numbering 258, who fulfill the
requisite qualification as per the rules on humanitarian ground in the
Industrial Training Department against the vacant posts in case a direction
is issued to that effect. In the light of the said affidavit, directions were
issued by the Hon'ble Supreme Court that it would be in the interest of
justice if eligible respondents, who fulfill the requisite qualification are
accommodated. The said action was to be taken by the State within a period
of three months.
(3.) PETITIONERS , being respondents in the Special Leave Petition and were found eligible out of the 258 respondents to be accommodated, should
have been taken back in service, but instead after the disposal of the writ
petitions filed by the petitioners in this Court vide order dated 24.01.2008,
their services were terminated by the respondents vide impugned order
dated 12.05.2010 (Annexure P -7). This, the counsel for the petitioners,
contends is not sustainable in the light of the affidavit filed by the
respondents in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Petitioners were required to be
considered for adjustment. Instead, the respondents after terminating the
services of the petitioners, simply proceeded to ignore the claim of the
petitioners on the ground that they were not serving the respondent -
department on the date when the order was passed by the Hon'ble Supreme
Court, i.e., 21.01.2013. He contends that the action of the respondents is not
in accordance with law and in any case against the affidavit which has been
filed by the State in the Supreme Court. He has also contended that the
order dated 30.09.2013 (Annexure R -1) passed by the Principal Secretary to
Government Haryana, Industrial Training Department, is not sustainable as
the condition which has been imposed while considering the claims of 258
respondents vide the said order that they should be on the posts on which
they were working when the order was passed is alien to the proceedings in
the Supreme Court as the affidavit dated 13.07.2011 did not speak of the
same. Prayer has, thus, been made to issue directions to the respondents to
adjust the petitioners in compliance with the order passed by the Hon'ble
Supreme Court.;
