Oral Judgment :
1 In the first petition, the Petitioner has challenged the
judgment and award dated 24.09.1996 delivered by the Labour Court in
Reference (IDA) No.155/1992 vide which the Respondent was granted
reinstatement as a Mustering Assistant with continuity of service and one
third back wages from 05.04.1991. By order dated 13.03.1997, interim
relief in terms of prayer clause (C) was granted and the impugned award
was stayed. Subsequently, the petition was admitted and interim relief was
continued.
2 It is jointly submitted by the learned Advocates that the issue
of Mustering Assistants was before this Court several years ago. The
matter had also reached the Honourable Supreme Court. The State has
presented the scheme before the Honourable Supreme Court and the same
was approved. Consequentially, the Government Resolution dated
01.12.1995 was introduced so as to absorb the Mustering Assistants who
were working on Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS).

3 In pursuance to the above developments, this Court delivered
it's judgment on 15.10.1999 in Writ Petition No.703/1997 with connected
Writ Petitions in the matter of the same Zilla Parishad, Ahmednagar vs.
Namdeo Natha Pawar and others. The Zilla Parishad was directed to
consider the case of the Respondents/ Employees strictly in accordance
with the scheme dated 01.12.1995.
4 This Court by it's judgment dated 21.09.2000 in the matter of
the Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Ahmednagar vs. Daulat
Narsingrao Deshmukh, 2001(2) Mh.L.J. 543, then delivered a similar
judgment and the Petitioner was directed to consider the cases of the
employees as per the Government Resolution dated 01.12.1995. A similar
judgment dated 30.08.2001 in a group of petitions in Writ Petition
No.847/1996 was delivered by this Court.
5 In the light of the above, the first Writ Petition stands partly
allowed by replacing the impugned award dated 24.09.1996 with the
direction to the Petitioner to consider the case of the Respondents/
Employees for absorption as per the Government Resolution dated
01.12.1995. Rule is made partly absolute accordingly.
*4* 237.wp.926.96.2189.04
6 Consequent to the above conclusion, the second Writ Petition
No.2189/2004 is partly allowed. The impugned order dated 19.07.2003
does not survive and is, therefore, set aside. Complaint (ULP) No.76/1997
is disposed of. Rule is made partly absolute accordingly.
7 In the light of the above, Criminal Complaint (ULP)
No.26/2003 filed by the Respondent does not survive and stands disposed
of.
