As seen from the record, an order came to be passed in T.A.No.2 of 2013 dated 01.12.2014, wherein a direction was given to the respondents to extend the same benefit as granted to the applicants in W.A.No.2560 of 2005 vide judgment dated 09.10.2014, to the applicants herein if they are similarly situated. Before proceeding further, it has to be noted that in W.A.No.2560 of 2005 this Hon'ble Court held that the appellants shall be deemed to have been converted from part time casual labourers to full time casual labourers and then conferred with temporary status, from 30.06.2004. Further the Court held that they shall be deemed to have been regularized w.e.f. 01.07.2007. However, it was held that they will not be entitled to any arrears of salary on account of such measures and that they shall be paid salary as regular employees w.e.f 01.11.2014.

A review of the said order came to be filed in Review Petition No.190 of 2015. A Bench of this Court disposed of the review petition modifying the order to the extent of regularizing services w.e.f.01.07.2007. At that stage W.P.No.2535 of 2015 came to be filed by the Union of India and three others seeking to set aside the order passed in T.A.No.1 of 2013, which was disposed of in terms of the order by the Division Bench of this Court in W.P.No.41120 of 2014 dated 31.12.2014. In order to appreciate the matter, it would be appropriate to refer the matter passed in W.P.No.41120 of2014, the operative portion of which reads as under:

"Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the petitioners herein to take appropriate decision for absorption for respondent No.2/applicant as Regular Majdoor, as per his eligibility and existing vacancies in terms of the scheme, if any, available within a period of eight(8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs."

Thereafter, the petitioner is said to have made a representation in terms of the order passed and the appellants herein passed a detailed order rejecting the request of the petitioner in terms of the High Court direction as it does not appear to be a fit case for regularization. The said order according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri K.Narsireddy, has become final. Without challenging the said order, another O.A. came to be filed for regularization of the service of the petitioner, which was allowed on 02.02.2021. It is stated that a Contempt Case is now moved before the Tribunal for implementation of the order.

Having regard to the facts narrated above, prima facie it indicates that the order passed by the Authority in not regularizing the services of the petitioner has attained finality, there shall be interim suspension of the order impugned herein, for a period of six weeks.

List on 20.01.2022.
