THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28.01.2021, ALONG WITH RP.1013/2020, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:

ORDER

DATED THIS THE 28th DAY OF JANUARY, 2021

Shaffique, J:

These review petitions have been filed inter alia contending

that there are errors apparent on the face of record. Three

specific issues had been raised by the learned counsel for the

review petitioners. One is that though the petition was barred by

limitation, this court did not take into consideration the fact that

earlier original applications have been filed and the same had

been rejected by the Tribunal. Yet another contention urged is

that there was no public interest in absorbing the Nurses to ESI

Hospitals. Even assuming that the hospitals were taken over in

public interest, absorption of staff are not strictly in public

interest. It is also contended that the Regulations which govern

the field is ESIC (Recruitment) Regulations, 2010.

2. In fact all these issues had been considered elaborately

in the order under review. As far as limitation is concerned, we

have taken note of the earlier orders passed by the Tribunal and

had arrived at a decision that there is no bar of limitation and

therefore there is no error apparent on the face of record as far

as the said issue is concerned.

3. With reference to clause 3.4.3 which indicates in cases

in which absorbees are not strictly in public interest, the

transferred officers will be placed below all officers appointed

regularly to ESIC, we have come to the conclusion that the

absorption was in public interest. The contention that it was not

strictly in public interest, cannot be sustained as the entire

absorption of the employees as well as hospital was only in

public interest. There cannot be a different view. Therefore we

don't find any error being committed by us.

4. As far as 2010 Regulations are concerned, it applies

only to direct recruitees and not to absorbees as contemplated in

the orders issued by the competent authorities. Under such

circumstances, we don't find any error apparent on the face of

record warranting interference while exercising review

jurisdiction.

Review petitions are therefore dismissed.
