O R D E R (Order of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.) The prayer is for a Mandamus directing the respondents to provide employment on daily wages equivalent to basic pay applicable to the posts of Office Assistant, Sweeper with Dearness Allowance as per G.O.No.137 dated 13.09.2019 and G.O.No.233 dated 06.12.2019.
All the petitioners were appointed on 02.03.2020 on a temporary basis under Rule 16(a)(1) of the Judicial Ministerial Service Rules and the their services were terminated on 30.11.2021. Contending that they have worked for 630 days and they will be entitled to be continued in service, the petitioners seek a Mandamus.
The fact that the petitioners are employed as temporary employees is not in dispute. But, upon regular recruitment being made their services were dispensed with. It is not the case where the petitioners worked for several years as temporary employees entailing them to regularization under any scheme of Regularization. It is purely a temporary employment to tide over the need for a limited period. -------------------- Page No.: 4 of 7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.22982 of 2024----------------------------4. Hence, we see no merit in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. (R.S.M.,J.)
