9. We have said so as reference to that Circular shows that all ft has done is to lay down the procedure for the selection of the apprentices, which did not require the apprentices to undergo any written examination for selection and their routing through employment exchange was done away with. Something was said about the age also. No promise of employment can be read in this Circular which is of 21.12.1977. We would say the same about the memo of the Directorate of Training and Employment of State of U. P. dated 21.9.1977 as it falls short of any promise of employment, because what it says is that full efforts should be made to provide the trainees with service, in this memo, what had been stated in para 2 of the Government of india's letter dated 31.8.1978 had been quoted in which it was mentioned that the scheme of training had been introduced to promote chances of employment of educated unemployed persons : and that if employers would provide employment to the qualified apprentices the same would amount to destruction of developed human resources. It is because of this that the Government of india expressed the desire that "other things being equal trained apprentices should be given preference in case of employment."

9. Now on the basis of these facts referred to in paragraphs 8 and 9 of the said judgment after having laid down the guidelines in paragraph 12, paragraph 13 has been incorporated. The text of paragraph Nos. 12 and 13 are quoted as hereunder.

"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 completion of their training :

(1) Other things being equal, a trained apprentice should be given preference over direct recruits.

(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.

13. 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 1990 (as desired by the Court) on 20.10.1992 giving position regarding vacancies in the posts of conductors and clerks. If such posts be still vacant, we direct the Corporation to act in accordance with what has been stated above regarding the entitlement of the trainees. We make It clear that while considering the cases of the trainees for giving employment in suitable posts, what has been laid down in the Service Regulations of the Corporation shall be followed, except that the trainees would not be required to appear in any written examination. If any, provided by the Regulations. It is apparent that before considering the cases of the trainees, the requirement of their names being sponsored by the employment exchange would not be insisted upon, in so far as the age requirement is concerned, the same shall be relaxed as indicated above."
