(Vijay Bishnoi, CJ)
The matters come upon for consideration of the present Interlocutory
Applications filed on behalf of the applicants with a prayer to condone the delay
of 523 days and 496 days, respectively, occasioned in preferring the connected
writ appeals.
Mr. B.D. Das, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the applicants has
submitted that the learned Single Judge of this Court had decided a bunch of
writ petitions by a common judgment and order and aggrieved with the same,
some other employees, who are similarly situated to the present
applicants/appellants, approached the Division Bench of this Court by way of
filing WA No.188/2023 and other analogous writ appeals and the said writ
appeals came to be disposed vide order dated 26.07.2024 passed by the
Division Bench, whereby it was observed that in view of the subsequent decision
of the State Government to consider the demand of the employees, who were,
though appointed after 2005 but the recruitment process in respect of the
concerned posts had started prior to January, 2005, it would be appropriate to
dispose of the appeals awaiting the decision of the State Government on this
Page No.# 17/18
issue.
The Division Bench had also made it clear that if the appellants failed to get
any favourable decision from the State Government, they would be free to
approach this Court by filing fresh writ petitions. The Division Bench also
directed the State Government to take a decision expeditiously, preferably,
within a period of 6(six) months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of
the order.
Learned senior counsel for the applicants has submitted that the cases of
the present applicants are similar to the appellants in writ appeal in WA
No.188/2023 and analogous writ appeals.
Learned counsel appearing for the respondent State is not in a position to
dispute the said factual position.
Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties.
In the order dated 26.07.2024, the Division Bench held as under :
"In view of the above development, we are of the view that once the State
Government has decided to consider the demand of the employees, who were
though appointed after 2005 wherein, the recruitment process of the concerned
posts were started prior to January, 2005, despite the order passed by the learned
Single Judge, it would be appropriate to dispose of these appeals, awaiting the
decision of the State Government on this issue.
It is made clear that if the appellants failed to get any favourable decision
from the State Government, they are free to approach this Court again by filing
fresh writ appeals.
We hope that the Government shall take a decision expeditiously, preferably
within a period of 6 (six) months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this
order."
Having taken into consideration the above facts and circumstances of the
cases, we are of the view that the delay of 523 days and 496 days, respectively,
Page No.# 18/18
occasioned in filing the connected writ appeals are liable to be condoned.
Hence, the present applications are allowed and the delay of 523 days and 496
days, respectively, in filing the connected writ appeals are condoned.
The Registry is directed to register the connected writ appeals
immediately.
Having taken note of the above facts and circumstances of the cases, we
are of the view that the connected writ appeals, preferred on behalf of the
applicants, are liable to disposed of in terms of the order dated 26.07.2024
passed by the Division Bench in WA No.188/2023 and other analogous writ
appeals.
We hereby order that after registration of the connected writ appeals, the
same be treated as disposed of in terms of the order dated 26.07.2024 passed
by the Division Bench in WA No.188/2023 and other analogous writ appeals.
However, it is made clear that the time period of 6(six) months, granted
by this Court vide order dated 26.07.2024 passed in WA No.188/2023 and other
analogous writ appeals, shall start in the case of the present applicants from the
date of production of a certified copy of this order.
