In this bunch of petitions, since a common question has been raised, hence being decided by the present order. All the petitioners are working as Pharmacist/Clerk/Computer Operator under Mukhya Mantri BPL Jeevan Raksha Kosh have approached this Court assailing their termination from service and seeking further direction to continue in services till continuance of aforesaid Scheme. Similar bunch of writ petitions raising common questions were filed before the Main Seat at Jodhpur in CWP-6116/2010 (Usha & (7) Ors Vs. State & Ors) & cognate cases which came to be dismissed vide judgment dt. 30/08/2010 with the following observations:-
10. The contents of service of the present petitioners was neither stipulated nor intended to be co-terminus with the BPL MM JRL Scheme itself. Therefore, even though the Scheme continues, if the number of posts have been abolished and the asame have been curtailed to 886 as per the Table given above, no exception to the same can be taken, particularly, in view of the fact that no such material has been produced by the petitioners or from any other documents on record that any of the primary Health Centers or Satelite Hospitals have been closed down on account of non-extension of contract of ser4vice of the present petitioners. If the State can manage to run these services with the help of existing staff or the persons appointed even on contract basis prior in point of time than the present petitioners, the present petitioners have no valid ground to assail the same.
11.In view of above, this Court finds no force in these writ petitions and the same are accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs.
However, Counsel for petitioners jointly submit that respondents have initiated fresh process for making appointments, which would show that the method adopted is with an object to replace the persons already in service and such action is wholly arbitrary and in violation of Art.14 of the Constitution. Counsel further jointly submit that interim stay orders were passed by this Court directing the respondents to allow the petitioner to continue on the posts held prior to the orders impugned pursuant to which they continued to work and even if writ petitions are dismissed by this Court in view of judgment (supra), atleast they are entitled to get salary for the period during which they have worked under interim stay orders of this Court. In light of the judgment (supra), the writ petitions alongwith stay petitions, as per Schedule annexed, are accordingly dismissed. However, it is made clear that for the period during which petitioners remained in service under interim stay orders passed by this Court, respondents are under obligation to make payment fo salary to respective petitioners and if not paid so far, the same be paid to each of them within one month from the date of submission of certified copy of this order. No costs.
