An application under Sections 61 and 62 of the Act was filed by the<\/p>\n<p>respondent on or about 11.07.1988 praying for his classification in<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>permanent category on the post of driver. By reason of a judgment and<\/p>\n<p>order dated 6.10.1997, the Labour Court allowed the said application,<\/p>\n<p>opining:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   (i)       As the appellants had classified Iqbal Singh Tuteja who was junior<\/p>\n<p>             to him in permanent category, the respondent was discriminated<\/p>\n<p>             against.\n<\/p>\n<p>   (ii)      Having regard to the admission made by the witnesses examined<\/p>\n<p>             on behalf of the appellants that despite the respondent having been<\/p>\n<p>             working since 22.09.1980 but denied the benefit of classification<\/p>\n<p>             on a permanent post only because he was a daily-wage employee,<\/p>\n<p>             the said action was not justified.\n<\/p>\n<p>   (iii)     As the appellants did not produce the records in its possession, an<\/p>\n<p>             adverse inference should be drawn.\n<\/p>\n<p>   (iv)      As there was no difference in work of a driver as a daily wager and<\/p>\n<p>             a work charged employee or a regular employee, after the death of<\/p>\n<p>             Iqbal Singh Tuteja, the appellant should have been placed in the<\/p>\n<p>             permanent category of a driver.\n<\/p>\n<p>          It was held:\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>             &#8220;8. On the basis of the above discussion, it is<br \/>\n             proved that the appointment of the applicant was<br \/>\n             prior to the opposite party No. 3 Iqbal Singh Tuteja<br \/>\n             i.e. prior to 22.9.80. The applicant being regular in<br \/>\n             the past and from 11.7.86 be given the benefits of<br \/>\n             pay and benefits of a regular driver.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>6.    The High Court, by reason of the impugned judgment, dismissed the<\/p>\n<p>writ petition filed by the appellants, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;4. Respondent No. 3 Iqbal Singh has also died.<br \/>\n             Service book of the Respondent No. 3 has not been<br \/>\n             produced by the petitioners before the Labour<br \/>\n             Court, neither they have specifically stated that<br \/>\n             what was the date of engagement of the<br \/>\n             Respondent No. 3. It appears that they have<br \/>\n             deliberately suppressed this fact before the Court.<br \/>\n             After analyzing the aforesaid factual position the<br \/>\n             Labour Court has held that the present respondent<br \/>\n             in this petition is entitled for the post of regular<br \/>\n             driver with effect from 11.7.1986. This finding of<br \/>\n             the Labour has also been upheld by the Industrial<br \/>\n             Tribunal.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>7.    Mr. S.K. Dubey, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the<\/p>\n<p>appellants, would contend:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      i.     The Labour Court and consequently the High Court committed<\/p>\n<p>             a serious mistake insofar as they failed to take into<\/p>\n<p>             consideration that the respondent having not been appointed on<\/p>\n<p>             a regular basis and in terms of the recruitment rules and<\/p>\n<p>             furthermore having left his job for some time, and thus was<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                             5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                   offered the job of a daily-wager at a later stage, he could not<\/p>\n<p>                   have been classified in the permanent category.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          ii.      In any event, Iqbal Singh Tuteja being senior to the respondent,<\/p>\n<p>                   the Selection Committee cannot be said to have faulted in<\/p>\n<p>                   preparing a draft select list.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>8.        Mr. Annam D.N. Rao, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the<\/p>\n<p>respondent, on the other hand, would urge:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>          a.       Iqbal Singh Tuteja having been in the seniority list below the<\/p>\n<p>                   respondent, there was no reason as to why he should have been<\/p>\n<p>                   discriminated against.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          b.       Appellants having not produced any document showing the<\/p>\n<p>                   respective working periods of two persons from 1980 onwards,<\/p>\n<p>                   the impugned judgment should not be interfered with.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>9.        It has not been denied or disputed before us that the respondent was<\/p>\n<p>appointed on a daily-wage basis. He used to be appointed as a contingent<\/p>\n<p>employee for 89 days.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>          The period of engagement of the respondent is stated to be as under:<\/p>\n<p>     1.         From 22.09.1980 to 19.12.1980 on the post of driver<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      2.      From 21.01.1981 to 28.02.1981 on the post of helper<\/p>\n<p>      3.      From 1.07.1982 to 31.05.1983 on the post of driver<\/p>\n<p>10.        It is, therefore, not correct to contend that the respondent was<\/p>\n<p>appointed in the same category of employment for a long time. He had been<\/p>\n<p>appointed in different categories of appointment at different points of time<\/p>\n<p>and at different places. Furthermore, the documents produced by the parties<\/p>\n<p>before the Labour Court itself showed that whereas the respondent had been<\/p>\n<p>working since 22.09.1980, the aforementioned Iqbal Singh Tuteja had been<\/p>\n<p>working since 27.01.1980. Both were placed at Serial No. 1. His date of<\/p>\n<p>birth was 8.01.1946 whereas the date of birth of the respondent was<\/p>\n<p>10.07.1957. Both were having their driving licences. If on that premise, the<\/p>\n<p>selection committee comprising of three senior officers of the appellants had<\/p>\n<p>classified the said Shri Iqbal Singh Tuteja in the permanent category, in our<\/p>\n<p>opinion, no exception could be taken thereto.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>11.        It is of some significance to note that even the respondent in his<\/p>\n<p>deposition stated that the said Iqbal Singh Tuteja was appointed with him on<\/p>\n<p>the post of driver. If that be so, his contention that he was senior to him<\/p>\n<p>cannot be accepted.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      Respondent contended that Iqbal Singh Tuteja was junior to him, but<\/p>\n<p>there was no basis therefor. Moreover, the question was not as to whether<\/p>\n<p>he worked on a daily wager or a work-charged employee, the question was<\/p>\n<p>with regard to the mode of appointment.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>12.   Appellant No. 1 is a `State&#8217; within the meaning of Article 12 of the<\/p>\n<p>Constitution of India.    In making offers of public appointment, it is<\/p>\n<p>necessary to follow the constitutional scheme laid down in Articles 14 and<\/p>\n<p>16 of the Constitution of India.         For the purpose of legal and valid<\/p>\n<p>recruitment, the provisions of the recruitment rules are required to be<\/p>\n<p>complied with. An appointment through side door being an appointment in<\/p>\n<p>violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India would be illegal.<\/p>\n<p>It has been so held by a Constitution Bench of this Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1591733\/\">Secretary, State<\/p>\n<p>of Karnataka and Others v. Umadevi<\/a> (3) and Others [(2006) 4 SCC 1] [See<\/p>\n<p>also Official Liquidator v. Dayanand and Others (2008) 10 SCC 1, <a href=\"\/doc\/591273\/\">State of<\/p>\n<p>Bihar v. Upendra Narayan Singh &amp; Others,<\/a> 2009 (4) SCALE 282.<\/p>\n<p>13.   The contention raised on behalf of the appellants is, furthermore<\/p>\n<p>directly covered by a decision of this Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1053942\/\">State of M.P. and Others v.<\/p>\n<p>Lalit Kumar Verma<\/a> [(2007) 1 SCC 575]. Respondent therein was appointed<\/p>\n<p>on daily wages. His recruitment was not made in terms of the statutory<\/p>\n<p>rules. Even no offer of appointment was issued. On the premise that he had<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>worked continuously for a period of more than six months, an award was<\/p>\n<p>passed by the Labour Court directing his classification on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court also dismissed the writ petition filed by the appellants. This<\/p>\n<p>Court opined:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>            &#8220;12. The question which, thus, arises for<br \/>\n            consideration, would be: Is there any distinction<br \/>\n            between &#8220;irregular appointment&#8221; and &#8220;illegal<br \/>\n            appointment&#8221;? The distinction between the two<br \/>\n            terms is apparent. In the event the appointment is<br \/>\n            made in total disregard of the constitutional<br \/>\n            scheme as also the recruitment rules framed by the<br \/>\n            employer, which is &#8220;State&#8221; within the meaning of<br \/>\n            Article 12 of the Constitution of India, the<br \/>\n            recruitment would be an illegal one; whereas there<br \/>\n            may be cases where, although, substantial<br \/>\n            compliance with the constitutional scheme as also<br \/>\n            the rules have been made, the appointment may be<br \/>\n            irregular in the sense that some provisions of some<br \/>\n            rules might not have been strictly adhered to.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>            ***          ***          ***\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>            17.

In view of the aforementioned authoritative pronouncements, the<\/p>\n<p>impugned judgment cannot be sustained which is set aside accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the event, if it is found that after the death of Iqbal Singh Tuteja<\/p>\n<p>the respondent was otherwise entitled to classification in the permanent<\/p>\n<p>category, the appellants shall be well advised to accord him the said status.<\/p>\n<p>15.   The appeal is allowed.
