challenging the order dated 21-8-1982 (Annexure  P-5)<\/p>\n

1985 (Annexure P-8), rejected the appeal against  the<\/p>\n
order dated 21-8-1982 (Annexure P-5), and against the<\/p>\n

(Annexure   P-9)  and  directed  the  petitioner   to<\/p>\n
reinstate respondent No.3 as N.M.R. worker.<\/p>\n

Labour  Court, the petitioner filed an appeal  before<\/p>\n
the  Industrial Court, Bench at Raipur on  27-12-1996<\/p>\n
(Annexure  P-11).   The Industrial  Court,  Bench  at<\/p>\n
Raipur allowed the appeal of the petitioner by  order<\/p>\n
dated  31-1-2000 (Annexure P-12) with an  observation<\/p>\n
that  the  petitioner  should consider  the  case  of<\/p>\n
respondent No.3 sympathetically for re-employment.<\/p>\n
8.         In the meantime, the Labour Court referred<\/p>\n
the  matter  to  a Division Bench of  the  Industrial<\/p>\n
Court, Indore for decision on a question of law  with<\/p>\n
regard  to the review application pending before  the<\/p>\n
Labour  Court.  The Division Bench of the  Industrial<\/p>\n

dated  21-3-1985  (Annexure P-8), in accordance  with<\/p>\n
law.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

dated  31-1-2000 (Annexure P-12) passed in the appeal<\/p>\n
filed by the petitioner on 27-12-1996 (Annexure P-11)<\/p>\n
stands stayed\/rejected for the time being, and  fixed<\/p>\n
the said appeal of the petitioner for re-hearing.<\/p>\n

Bench  at  Raipur, by the impugned order dated  10-7-<\/p>\n
2002 (Annexure P-1), rejected the said appeal of  the<\/p>\n
petitioner, which was earlier filed on 27-12-1996 for<\/p>\n
quashing   the   impugned  order   dated   28-11-1996<\/p>\n
(Annexure P-2).\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
11.        Having regard to the admitted facts of the<\/p>\n
case that respondent No.3 was employed as daily rated <\/p>\n
worker  on  Nominal Muster Roll and the Labour  Court<\/p>\n
has not recorded a clear finding that respondent No.3<\/p>\n
had  worked  for more than 240 days, respondent  No.3<\/p>\n
has  no  right  to  the post as  the  appointment  of<\/p>\n
respondent  No.3  was  not  in  accordance  with  the<\/p>\n
constitutional  scheme  of employment  or  under  any<\/p>\n
rules  framed  under proviso to Article  309  of  the<\/p>\n
Constitution of India inviting applications from  all<\/p>\n
the eligible candidates.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
12.        A  Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court<\/p>\n
has  settled  the legal position with regard  to  the<\/p>\n
right  of  the daily wager, ad hoc, casual, temporary<\/p>\n
employees  not  appointed  in  accordance  with   the<\/p>\n
constitutional  scheme  of  employment  and  not   in<\/p>\n
accordance with law.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
13.         In  the  case  of  Secretary,  State   of<\/p>\n
Karnataka and others vs. Umadevi<\/a> (3) and others1, the<\/p>\n
Supreme Court observed as under :-\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     “45.   While   directing  that  appointments,
\n     temporary or casual, be regularised  or  made
\n     permanent, the courts are swayed by the  fact
\n     that the person concerned has worked for some
\n     time  and  in  some cases for a  considerable
\n     length  of time.  It is not as if the  person
\n     who accepts an engagement either temporary or
\n     casual  in nature, is not aware of the nature
\n     of his employment.  He accepts the employment
\n     with  open eyes.  It may be true that  he  is
\n     not  in a position to bargain – not at  arm’s
\n     length  –  since he might have been searching
\n     for  some  employment so as to  eke  out  his
\n     livelihood and accepts whatever he gets.  But
\n     on   that  ground  alone,  it  would  not  be
\n     appropriate  to  jettison the  constitutional
\n     scheme  of appointment and to take  the  view
\n     that a person who has temporarily or casually
\n     got   employed  should  be  directed  to   be
\n     continued permanently.  By doing so, it  will
\n     be    creating   another   mode   of   public
\n     appointment which is not permissible.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     “47.   When   a  person  enters  a  temporary
\n     employment   or   gets   engagement   as    a
\n     contractual   or   casual  worker   and   the
\n     engagement is not based on a proper selection
\n     as   recognised  by  the  relevant  rules  or
\n     procedure, he is aware of the consequences of
\n     the  appointment being temporary,  casual  or
\n     contractual in nature.  Such a person  cannot
\n     invoke  the  theory of legitimate expectation
\n     for  being  confirmed in  the  post  when  an
\n     appointment to the post could be made only by
\n     following  a  proper procedure for  selection
\n     and  in cases concerned, in consultation with
\n     the Public Service Commission.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
14.        Therefore, the reliance placed by  learned<\/p>\n
counsel appearing for respondent No.3 on the decision<\/p>\n
in  the  case of Central Bank of India vs. S.  Satyam<\/p>\n
and  others<\/a>2, wherein the Supreme Court has held that<\/p>\n
all cases of retrenchment shall be governed under the<\/p>\n
provisions of Section 25H of the Industrial  Disputes<\/p>\n
Act, 1947, may not be applicable to the facts of  the<\/p>\n
present case.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
15.        The  Supreme Court, in the case of Mineral<\/p>\n
Exploration  Corpn.  Employees’  Union  vs.   Mineral<\/p>\n
Exploration  Corpn. Ltd. and<\/a> another3,  has  directed<\/p>\n
the  Industrial Tribunals to decide the claim of  the<\/p>\n
workmen strictly in accordance with and in compliance<\/p>\n
with  the  directions given in the  judgment  by  the<\/p>\n
Constitution Bench in the case of Secretary, State of<\/p>\n
Karnataka  and  others  vs. Umadevi<\/a>  (3)  and  others<\/p>\n
(Supra).\n<\/p>\n
           In  view of aforementioned reasons, it  is<\/p>\n
not necessary to decide the question of applicability<\/p>\n
of principle of res judicata in the present case.<\/p>\n
16.        In  the  result, in view of the foregoing,<\/p>\n
this  petition is allowed.  The impugned orders dated<\/p>\n
10-7-2002  (Annexure P-1) passed  by  the  Industrial<\/p>\n
Court, Bench at Raipur and dated 28-11-1996 (Annexure <\/p>\n
P-2)  passed  by the Labour Court, Durg are  quashed.<\/p>\n
No order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n
