JUDGMENT 2000 (3) SCR 1201 The following Order of the Court was delivered :

After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, we are of the view that the decision of this Court in Transport Corporation v. U.P. Parivahan Nigam Shikshak Berozgar Sangh, [1995] 2 SCC page 1, has laid down clear criteria as to regular appointment of apprentices governed by the Apprentices Act, 1961. The relevant principles are as follows :
(i) Other things being equal, a trained apprentice should be given preference over direct recruits.

(iv) The concerned training institute would maintain a list of the person trained year wise. The persons trained earlier would be treated senior to the persons trained later. In between the trained apprentices, preference shall be given to those who are senior".

In the said judgment, this Court, however, observed at the end of para 13 as follows :

"In so far as the cases at hand are concerned, we find that the Corporation filed an additional affidavit in C.A. Nos. 4347-4354 of 1999 (as desired by the Court) on 20th October, 1992 giving position regarding vacancies in the posts of conductors and clerks. If such posts be still vacant, we directs the Corporation to act in accordance with what has been stated above regarding the entitlement of the trainees.
