12. In the background of what has been noted above, we
state that the following would be kept in mind while dealing with the
claim of trainees to get employment after successful of their
training:-
(1) Other things being equal, a trained apprentice should
be given preference over direct recruits.
(2) For this, a trainee would not be required to get his
name sponsored by any employment exchange. The
decision of this Court in Union of India. v. Hargopal,
AIR 1987 SC 1227, would permit this.
(3) If age bar would come in the way of the trainee, the
same would be relaxed in accordance with what is
stated in this regard, if any, in the concerned service
rule. If the service rule be silent on this aspect,
relaxation to the extent of the period for which the
apprentice had undergone training would be given.
(4) The concerned training institute would maintain a list
of the persons trained year wise. The persons trained
earlier would be treated as senior to the persons
trained later. In between the trained apprentices,
preference shall be given to those who are senior."
