Mr.T.K.Raina, Advocate for Petitioner.\n^ Mrs.Neeru Goswami, Dy.AG for Respondents.   \n\n coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Permod Kohli\n Dated : 02\/12\/2005\n\n: JUDGMENT :  \n<\/pre>\n<p>This petition proceeds on a sad note. Can a human being kept in a pathetic condition and made to<br \/>\nsurvive on a meager amount of Rs. 40 per year which comes to Rs. 3.25 per month in present<br \/>\ndays. Story of the poor petitioner is mind boggling. He was engaged as a Waterman-Cum-<br \/>\nSweeper in Govt. Primary School Jakhar, Ramnagar in the year 1980 by the then Tehsil<br \/>\nEducation Officer, Ramnagar. On the recommendations of headmaster of the school by a written<br \/>\nOrder of his engagement. It is alleged that petitioner was being paid Rs. 40 per year which was<br \/>\nenhanced to Rs. 80 and then to Rs. 500 per year in the year 1992. Till date he is being paid this<br \/>\namount of Rs. 500\/- per year for rendering the services in the School. After being exploited for<br \/>\nmore than two decades, he appears to have acquired some courage and little wisdom and<br \/>\napproached this court by filing present petition claiming his regularization as a Class-IV from the<br \/>\ndate he was appointed and also for payment of arrears. It is also alleged that another person<br \/>\nnamely Dev Raj S\/o Bal Krishan R\/o Dhoona Latli who was also working as Safai Karamchari on<br \/>\nconsolidated pay was regularized as Class-IV on 2nd July 1992. The petitioner has been denied<br \/>\neven the minimum wages payable to a worker. Besides placing on record the appointment Order<br \/>\ndt. 12th June 1980, petitioner has also filed a certificate from the Sarpanch Halqa Panchayat Dudu<br \/>\nCertifying payment of Rs. 500 per year as wages to the petitioner and another certificate dt.3rd<br \/>\nSeptember 2004 issued by the Head Master Govt. High School Jakhar Ramnagar certifying<br \/>\npetitioner&#8217;s continuous engagement w.e.f. 1st May 1980. This certificate also demonstrates<br \/>\ncontinuous engagement of the petitioner except winter and summer vacations and other gazetted<br \/>\nholidays. In the reply filed to this petition, the respondents have admitted the engagement of the<br \/>\npetitioner since the year 1980 and payment of Wages at the rate of Rs. 4\/- per month increased to<br \/>\nRs. 10 per month and then Rs. 250 per month; meaning thereby that the petitioner was being paid<br \/>\nRs. 40, Rs. 50 and Rs. 500 per year from time to time. Regarding the claim of the petitioner for<br \/>\nregularization as Class-IV, it is stated that petitioner is only a part time worker and is used for<br \/>\nfetching water from a distance of 200 meters for the School. It is also stated that after the year<br \/>\n1993 a regular sweeper has also been engaged. Respondents have resisted the claim of the<br \/>\npetitioner for regularization against Class-IV on the ground that petitioner is paid from the<br \/>\ncontingency fund and cannot be regularized on a regular establishment.\n<\/p>\n<p>It is unimaginable that a person can survive with a sum of Rs. 4 per month even in the year 1980<br \/>\nand with Rs. 500\/- per year i.e. Rs. 48 per month in present days when the prices even for<br \/>\nfood\/clothing have gone so high. Petitioner has been kept in miserable condition for a period of<br \/>\nmore than two decades by the respondents and still they have reservation to the grant of relief to<br \/>\nthe petitioner by this court. One fails to understand how the petitioner has been maintaining<br \/>\nhimself and may be the family with a paltry amount of Rs. 500 per year. The claim of the<br \/>\nrespondents that the petitioner is only a part time worker and is engaged only for fetching water<br \/>\nstands belied from the certificate issued by the Headmaster of the School, Jakhar, on 3rd<br \/>\nSeptember 2004 wherein the engagement of the petitioner said to be on regular basis. It is note<br \/>\nworthy that the same Headmaster has issued above noted certificate who is signatory to the reply<br \/>\nfiled in this court. How can an Officer of the rank of Head-master behave like this. That too, in<br \/>\nthe highest court of law in the State. The certificate do no in any manner mention the temporary<br \/>\nnature of engagement, though the reply speaks of part time engagement. There is allied reason not<br \/>\nto accept the contention of the respondents as raised in the reply is the Appointment Order itself.<br \/>\nThe Appointment Order of the petitioner clearly shows the engagement of the petitioner as<br \/>\nWaterman-cum-sweeper as a whole timer and not for part time. Even the certificate issued by the<br \/>\nSarpanch show the engagement of the petitioner as a whole timer.\n<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner is seeking his regularization as a Class-IV. He has been performing his duties for over a<br \/>\nperiod of 25 years. It is true that there is no rule or law where under petitioner can claim a right of<br \/>\nregularization. Petitioner submits that he is at the verge of retirement. His age as mentioned in the<br \/>\nwrit petition is 58 years. He is performing duty as a member of inferior service. Throwing out the<br \/>\npetitioner at this stage would be travesty of justice. I am conscious of the fact that there is no rule<br \/>\nwhich may confer any right upon the petitioner for regularization as Class-IV. He is not governed<br \/>\nby SRO 64 of 1994 being not a daily wager. But, this court is not only a court of law, but a court<br \/>\nof equity particularly where the right and protection of a member of the society like the petitioner<br \/>\nwho comes from the lowest strata is involved. Such a right emanates from even Article 21 of the<br \/>\nConstitution of India which grants protection of life which interalia include the provision for food<br \/>\nand clothing. Notwithstanding the legal position, I am of the considered opinion that this court<br \/>\nhas to come to the rescue of the petitioner. This petition is accordingly disposed of with the<br \/>\nfollowing directions:\n<\/p>\n<p>1)      pay to the petitioner minimum wages as payable under the Minimum Wages Act<br \/>\nw.e.f. January 1992 at such rates as were prevalent from time to time.\n<\/p>\n<pre>2)      petitioner be considered for regularization as class IV.\n3)      Petitioner be brought on regular establishment as helper\/class-IV which ever be\n<\/pre>\n<p>the lowest post available on the regular establishment of the department within a<br \/>\nperiod of two months.\n<\/p>\n<p>4)      Non-observance of this direction within the stipulated period will amount to<br \/>\ncommission of contempt of court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Registrar Judicial shall place this file before this court on the expiry of two months. Copy of this<br \/>\nOrder shall be furnished to Mrs. Neeru Goswami appearing for respondents for compliance.\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jammu High Court Abdul Majid vs State Of J&amp;K And Others on 2 December, 2005 HIGH COURT OFJAMMUAND KASHMIR AT JAMMU SWP No. 1513 of 2004 Abdul Majid Petitioner State of J&amp;K and Others Respondents !
