(1) State of Rajasthan & Ors. v. Bhana Ram

HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.NARAYAN ROY HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SANGEET LODHA Mr.M.Mridul ) Mr.Manoj Bhandari) Mr.Harish Purohit ) Mr.K.C.Sharma ) , for the writ petitioners-appellants. Mr.Shyam Ladrecha, Government Counsel, for the State. All these seven appeals since involved the similar questions of law and facts, were decided, keeping in view the judgment delivered in Mohan Lal vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. (Writ Petition No.2171/99), therefore, they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this order. Two appeals have been filed on behalf of the State of Rajasthan, whereas other appeals have been filed by the persons, who were appointed as Shiksha Shahyogi under Scheme Rajeev Gandhi Swaran Jayanti Pathshala whereas, one of the appellants namely, Bhagirath though selected for the post of Shiksha Shahyogi, was not appointed on the post. At the outset, it is pointed out by the counsel for the parties that by now the scheme aforesaid is over and the employment under the Scheme therefore, was co terminus. At the same time, it is also stated by the learned counsel for the State that some of the persons working as Shiksha Shahyogi under the Scheme are being considered for their absorption in different departments and two writ petitioners have already been absorbed. So far, the appellant Bhagirath is concerned, since he was not given appointment though selected, cannot get any relief at this stage when the Scheme is over. The matter since is under consideration before the State authorities for absorption of the persons appointed under the Scheme, these appeals virtually have become infructuous and they are accordingly, dismissed. But, it goes without saying that the process of absorption should come to a logical end. (SANGEET LODHA),J. (NARAYAN ROY) CJ. Aditya/-
