Confirmation

Petitioners-employees were not in possession of relevant qualification and they could not claim to be appointed against the posts of Nursing Assistant

Writ petition was dismissed, in circumstances.

Petitioners, in response to advertisement submitted applications for appointment; went through the selection process and were selected on merits and were recruited purely on contract basis

Tenures of said contract services were extended from time to time, but they were not regularized despite rendering long service, spreading over a period of more than 10 years; and during that period appointments on regular basis and also on contract basis were made through Public Service Commission

Selection of the petitioners was not made arbitrarily or at the whims of any individual, but they were selected on merits after competing with the rival candidates

Petitioners had given most valuable periods of their lives to the Government

Almost all the petitioners had become overage and could not seek employment elsewhere

Petitioners had been denied the right of equal treatment as their colleagues placed in similar positions had been extended the benefit of regularization, which was not permissible in view of Art.25 of the Constitution

Contention that the petitioners were not selected through Public Service Commission and were recruited through the Committee, was not a lawful ground to turn down their persistent and repeated requests for regularization

Authorities were directed by High Court to regularize the petitioners, with immediate effect within a period of two months.

No reason existed for accused to remove the digital cash box/locker from the cash room to the kitchen; or to break open the locks through force

Prima facie, there was no previous complaint against accused who had been climbing the ladder of management in short time, which could be as source of concern for the other employees; and a reason to falsely implicate. accused, could not be ruled out

Case against accused was a fit case for further inquiry within the meaning of S.497(2), Cr. P. C. which entitled him for the grant of bail

Interim bail earlier granted to accused, was confirmed on the same terms and conditions, in circumstances.

Offences against the accused under Ss. 337-A (i) do 504, P. P. C. were bailable and offence under S. 506, P.P.C. though was not bailable, but did not fall within the prohibitory clause of S. 497(1), Cr.P.C

Basic principle was free life and not jail life

If the bail was granted, by mistake by the Court to accused, there was compensation and the accused could be awarded conviction and sentence, but in a case where the accused was kept behind the bars for years together and ultimately the case resulted in his acquittal then there was no compensation

Bail before arrest granted to- the accused was confirmed.

Such order should to deemed to have been appointed against permanent post and Civil Servant was entitled to be confirmed against same permanent post with effect from date of appointment

Leave to appeal refused.
