Dated this the 24th July, 2008
J U D G M E N T
Petitioner was appointed as an Assistant in the office
of the 2nd respondent in a temporary vacancy. The same
was extended on more than one occasion, as evidenced by
Exhibits P1 and P2. But, later on expiry of the tenure of
appointment, he was discharged from office. He submits
that there are still vacancies which can accommodate him.
He refers to Exhibit P8 interim order by which this Court
had issued an interim direction that if there is any
necessity to recruit a temporary hand, petitioner shall be
preferred. By Exhibit P9 judgment, the writ petition was
disposed of in terms of the interim order and the same
has been confirmed in W.A No.1082 of 2003. Exhibit P12
advertisement has been issued as part of the regular
recruitment to the post of Assistant. Petitioner has
submitted Exhibit P13 before the Zonal Manager seeking
a right to be considered for appointment as Assistant on
W.P ( C) No.20745 of 2008

the basis of his earlier engagement.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner refers to the
judgment of this Court in O.P No.24137 of 1998 and W.A.
No.258 of 2000 arising therefrom.
3. In my view, the only direction that is required in
this writ petition is for a direction to the Zonal Manager to
consider Exhibit P13. He shall take into account the earlier
judgments pronounced by this Court.
4. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner
Sri.M.V Bose and Sri.S.Easwaran, learned standing counsel
appearing for the Life Insurance Corporation.
In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing
the 1st respondent to consider Exhibit P13 and take a
decision thereon in the course of recruitment sought to be
effected as per Exhibit P12. It is open to the petitioner to
supplement Exhibit P13 with an additional representation
or materials as the case may be.
