\nMr.M.Govindan, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents
\n1 and 2 and Mr.S.P.Maharajan, learned Counsel appearing for the third
\nrespondent.\n<\/p>\n
\t3. All the nine petitioners were appointed as Nominal Muster Roll
\nEmployees, hereinafter called “NMRs” under the third respondent Corporation
\nprior to October 1996.  The petitioners and  similarly placed persons have been
\nrepeatedly requesting the authorities to regularise their services.  The
\nGovernment based on the recommendation by various authorities, considered the
\nplight of these persons and passed the G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration
\nand Water Supply Department dated 27.05.1999.  In the said G.O., the Municipal
\nauthorities were directed to prepare a list of Nominal Muster Roll Employees
\n(NMRs) who were appointed and serving prior to October 1996.  Thereafter, as per
\nparagraph 3(ii) of  G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration and Water Supply
\nDepartment dated 27.05.1999, the NMRs serving prior to October 1996 became
\neligible to be appointed in the Entry Level Post and regularised together with
\nservice benefit.  They were to be appointed on consolidated pay.  After serving
\nin the said post for one year on consolidated pay, they became entitled to be
\nappointed under the Regular Time Scale of Pay.  Paragraph 3(ii) of
\nG.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department dated
\n27.05.1999, reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n

\t4. In accordance with the above G.O, in proceedings Roc.No.C1\/6475\/97
\ndated 08.04.2000, all the petitioners found to be technically qualified were
\nappointed to the Entry level post, namely, Skilled Assistant Grade II on
\nconsolidated  pay   of Rs.2,000\/- p.m.  Therefore, on and from 08.04.2000, the
\npetitioners became regular appointees to the Entry level post.  On completion of
\none year thereafter, the petitioners should be brought  under regular time scale
\nof pay.  However, the same did not happen due to certain circumstances which
\nhappened thereafter.  It is stated that the Government imposed a ban in
\nG.O.Ms.212 dated 29.11.2001 and consequently, the petitioners were  not  given
\nthe regular time scale of pay.\n<\/p>\n
\t5. The petitioners and similarly placed persons were agitating their
\nrights to get  the regular time scale of pay as per G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal
\nAdministration and Water Supply Department dated 27.5.1999.  In G.O.Ms.No.21
\nMunicipal Administration and Water Supply (MC.3) Department dated 23.02.2006,
\n(i.e.) after more than five years, the Government  directed the regularisation
\nof the   NMRs who are on the Daily Wages Rolls as on 01.10.1996 from the date of
\nissuance of the order.  The date of order, according to the G.O., is 23.02.2006.\n<\/p>\n
\t6. Consequent to G.O.Ms.No.21 Municipal Administration and Water Supply
\n(MC.3) Department dated 23.02.2006, by proceedings in Na.Ka.No.6475 97 C1 dated
\n26.04.2006, the petitioners were brought under the regular time scale of pay
\nwith effect from 23.02.2006.\n<\/p>\n
\t7. The writ petitioners challenge the G.O.Ms.No.21 Municipal
\nAdministration and Water Supply (MC.3) Department dated 23.02.2006 and the
\nconsequential orders, stating that they are entitled to the benefit of regular
\ntime scale of pay in accordance with  G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration and
\nWater Supply Department dated 27.05.1999 and the date on which the
\nregularisation was made pursuant to the impugned  G.O.Ms.No.21 Municipal
\nAdministration and Water Supply (MC.3) Department dated 23.02.2006 and the
\nproceedings in Na.Ka.No.6475 97 C1 dated 26.04.2006, is inapplicable and of no
\nconsequence and erroneous in view of the earlier G.O.Ms.No.125  Municipal
\nAdministration and Water Supply Department dated 27.05.1999, which provides for
\nregularisation in time scale of pay on completion of one year from 8.4.2000.\n<\/p>\n
\t8. The learned Counsel for the petitioners pleaded that  the writ petition
\nhas been filed challenging  G.O.Ms.No.21 Municipal Administration and Water
\nSupply (MC.3) Department dated 23.02.2006 and the consequential order, as the
\nsaid Government Order determines  an alternate  date for grant of   regular time
\nscale of pay contrary to earlier G.O.  Petitioners’  right flow from
\nG.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department dated
\n27.05.1999, which has not been withdrawn or rescinded.    It is further
\nsubmitted that the reason for not bringing the petitioners on regular time scale
\nof pay is only because of the ban order issued by the Government in G.O.Ms.212
\ndated 29.11.2001, which G.O will not apply to the case of grant of regular time
\nscale of pay, a  benefit, which has been given in the earlier  G.O. viz.,
\nG.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department dated
\n27.05.1999.   The benefit that had accrued cannot be denied.\n<\/p>\n
\t9. The learned Counsel for the third respondent referred to paragraph 4 of
\nthe counter-affidavit filed by him and pointed out that in view of G.O.Ms.No.21
\nMunicipal Administration and Water Supply (MC.3) Department dated 23.02.2006,
\nthe authority had no other option but to appoint the petitioners on regular time
\nscale of pay with effect from 23.02.2006.  He justified the impugned proceedings
\nof the third respondent.  No counter is filed by the State even at the time of
\nfinal hearing.\n<\/p>\n
\t10. The contention of the learned Counsel for the third respondent can be
\njustified as the authority is bound to obey the instructions given by the
\nGovernment in G.O.Ms.No.21 Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC.3)
\nDepartment dated 23.02.2006.  However, that will not bind on the petitioners who
\nare the beneficiaries of earlier G.O., viz., G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal
\nAdministration and Water Supply Department dated 27.05.1999 which is still in
\nforce and has not been withdrawn,  rescinded or modified.\n<\/p>\n
\t11. The petitioners in this case have been appointed  as Skilled Assistant
\nGrade-II in terms of the first part of  paragraph 3(ii) of  G.O.Ms.No.125
\nMunicipal Administration and Water Supply Department dated 27.05.1999 and their
\nappointment is regularised by consequent order dated 8.4.2000.  Therefore, on
\ncompletion of one year in consolidated pay, they are entitled to be brought
\nunder regular time scale of pay.  Both the benefits flow out of the same
\nprovisions of G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department
\ndated 27.05.1999  which still holds the field.   Since the petitioners
\nappointment has been regularised as Skilled Assistant Grade-II, on 8.4.2000, the
\npetitioners will be entitled to regular time scale of pay on competition of one
\nyear.  That is the mandate of the G.O.Ms.No.125  Municipal Administration and
\nWater Supply Department dated 27.05.1999.  There is no need to pass further
\nGovernment Order for regular time scale of pay.\n<\/p>\n
\t12. Assuming for the moment that there was a temporary ban, after lifting
\nof the ban, the petitioners will be entitled to the benefit that will flow from
\nthe said G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department
\ndated 27.05.1999 without any restrictions.  The ban imposed by the Government,
\ncan operate  prospectively and not retrospectively unless so specified.  In any
\nevent, the petitioners in all these writ petitions have already been appointed
\nas Skilled Assistant Grade-II in the Entry level post and regularised and
\ntherefore, the said ban order cannot  have any application to the facts of the
\npresent case.\n<\/p>\n
\t13. The petitioners who have the benefit of G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal
\nAdministration and Water Supply Department dated 27.05.1999 and have been
\nappointed in the Entry level post, namely, Skilled Assistant Grade-II on
\n08.04.2000 on the basis of the above said G.O, are entitled to further relief
\ngranted under the very same G.O.  The respondents cannot postpone  the
\npetitioners’ right to   regular time scale of pay by virtue of another G.O.,
\nnamely G.O.Ms.No.21 Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC.3) Department
\ndated 23.02.2006.  There is no justification for specifying the effective date
\nas 23.02.2006.  When  G.O.Ms.No.125 Municipal Administration and Water Supply
\nDepartment dated 27.05.1999 gives the benefit of regular time scale of pay on
\ncompletion of one year in the consolidated scale of pay in terms of paragraph
\n3(ii), the alternate date stated  in  G.O.Ms.No.21 Municipal Administration and
\nWater Supply (MC.3) Department dated 23.02.2006 cannot be justified as the
\nearlier G.O., is very much in force and has not been rescinded, withdrawn or
\nmodified.  When the benefit has already been granted under G.O.Ms.No.125
\nMunicipal Administration and Water Supply Department dated 27.05.1999, it cannot
\nbe denied  based on the subsequent G.O., unless the said earlier G.O., has been
\nspecifically and intentionally overruled,  modified or withdrawn.\n<\/p>\n
\t14. Further, in similar cases, this Court has passed several orders
\ngranting the benefit of regular time scale of pay on completion of one year
\nafter the NMRs were brought under Entry level post namely Skilled Assistant
\nGrade-II.  They are:\n<\/p>\n
\t(i) S.Mariappan v. The Commissioner of Municipal Administration, Chepauk,
\nChennai and<\/a> another decided on 02.12.2010 in W.P(MD)No.5475 of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
\t(ii)  K.Velusamy v. The Commissioner of Municipal Administration, Chepauk,
\nChennai<\/a> – 5, and another decided on 27.09.2010 in W.P(MD)No.8322 of 2008.\n<\/p>\n
\t15. One of the orders was taken  on  appeal in W.A.(MD)No.273 of 2011 and
\nfinal order has been passed on 02.03.2011 in employees’ favour.\n<\/p>\n
\t16. In  view of the above,  G.O.Ms.No.21 Municipal Administration and
\nWater Supply (MC.3) Department dated 23.02.2006, which fixes the date for
\nregularisation in the time scale of pay as on 23.2.2006, insofar as the
\npetitioners are concerned, is set aside and the petitioners will be entitled to
\nregularisation with effect from the date of their completion of one year (i.e.)
\nfrom 08.04.2000 with all consequential benefits.\n<\/p>\n
\t17. The writ petition is allowed as prayed for.  Consequently, the
\nconnected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.  No costs.\n<\/p>\n
