Once again on 2.7.83 he was recruited to KSRTC though<\/p>\n<p>employment exchange and continued till 9.2.87.   On 9.2.87 his service<\/p>\n<p>in the KSRTC was regularized on the basis of the advice of the PSC.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner submits that the Government of Kerala declared the year<\/p>\n<p>1984-85 as the year of Harijans and as a measure of Harijan upliftment<\/p>\n<p>issued   a   Circular   on   04.08.1984   specifying   that   all   those   SC\/ST<\/p>\n<p>employees   appointed   provisionally   through   employment   exchanges<\/p>\n<p>before 02.08.1984 will be retained in service even if it is necessary to<\/p>\n<p>create   supernumerary   posts   for   that   purpose.     Following   this,<\/p>\n<p>Government   issued   Ext.P1   order   dt.9.1.85   directing   strict<\/p>\n<p>implementation of the above Circular.  The Government has later issued<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2   order   on   6.9.85   directing   initiation   of   action   of   regularising   the<\/p>\n<p>provisional hands in service as on 2.8.1984 in concurrence of the PSC.<\/p>\n<p>The   Director   Board   of   the   KSRTC   has   resolved   on   21.12.86   to<\/p>\n<p>implement Ext.P2.  Petitioner submits that the 1st respondent decided to<\/p>\n<p>WPC No.6317\/2004<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                             2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>regularise   his   service   only   on   9.2.87   and   that   too   only   after   he   was<\/p>\n<p>regularised   through   the   PSC.     In   all   similarly   placed   institutions   the<\/p>\n<p>scope and purport of the Government Circular dt.9.1.1985 was given full<\/p>\n<p>effect to and all concerned employees were regularised from 4.8.1984.<\/p>\n<p>Several representations submitted by the petitioner requesting that his<\/p>\n<p>regularisation   with   effect   from   4.8.84   turned   futile.     Petitioner   then<\/p>\n<p>referred   to   Ext.P3   judgment   in   WA   No.2420   of   1998   which   is   to   the<\/p>\n<p>effect that in the case of similarly placed employees they will be entitled<\/p>\n<p>to count service commencing from 6.9.85, the date of the Government<\/p>\n<p>Order.     Ext.P4   judgment   was   obtained   by   a   similarly   circumstanced<\/p>\n<p>employee   of   the   1st  respondent.     The   petitioner&#8217;s   grievance   is   that   till<\/p>\n<p>date he has not been given regularisation as he is entitled in terms of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P4 and the Government Order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       2. A detailed counter affidavit has been filed by the KSRTC raising<\/p>\n<p>various   contentions.     But   when   the   case   came   up   for   consideration<\/p>\n<p>today,   Sri.K.B.   Suresh,   learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner   has   placed<\/p>\n<p>before me copy of the judgment in OP No.8189 of 2001.  I was informed<\/p>\n<p>that the petitioner in that OP was circumstanced exactly similar as the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   in   the   present   case.     Even   though   Sri.Johnson   P.   John<\/p>\n<p>learned   Standing   Counsel   of   the   Corporation   sought   for   time,   having<\/p>\n<p>gone   through   the   records   relating   to   the   other   cases   and   having<\/p>\n<p>considered the records in this case, I do not find any reason as to why<\/p>\n<p>the relief   given in OP No.8189 of 2001 to the petitioner therein should<\/p>\n<p>WPC No.6317\/2004<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                             3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>be   denied   to   the   present   petitioner.     By   GO(P)   No.   372\/85\/GAD<\/p>\n<p>dt.6.9.1985 the Government had directed all Heads of Departments and<\/p>\n<p>appointing   authorities   to   allow   all   provisional   employees   belonging   to<\/p>\n<p>Scheduled   Castes\/Scheduled   Tribes   an   d   who   were   in   service   as   on<\/p>\n<p>2.8.1984   to   continue   in   service,  even  after   expiry  of   their   term   of   180<\/p>\n<p>days, until further orders.  A Division Bench of this Court in WA No.2420<\/p>\n<p>of   1998     held   that   the   provisional   employees   belonging   to   Scheduled<\/p>\n<p>Castes\/Scheduled   Tribes   who   were   in   service   as   on   2.8.1984   are<\/p>\n<p>entitled   to  get   their  services  regularised  with  effect  from   6.9.1985,  the<\/p>\n<p>date of the GO.   Identical matters whenever came up before this Court<\/p>\n<p>were allowed especially   OP No. 2744 of 2002 and connected cases, I<\/p>\n<p>am of the view that there is no reason why the directions in OP No.2744<\/p>\n<p>of 2002 should not be issued in this case also.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       Therefore this Writ Petition will stand allowed.  KSRTC is directed<\/p>\n<p>to regularise the service of the petitioner with effect from 04.08.1984 and<\/p>\n<p>grant   him   all   consequential   benefits   within   three   months   of   date   of<\/p>\n<p>receipt of a copy of this judgment.  No costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                  PIUS C.
