8. Secondly, he also submitted that the Section 12(3) settlement entered into at Ranipet is with reference to regularisation on the basis of the demand made by the union and that cannot be pressed into service as preference to be given to the trained apprentices. He also submitted that the Division Bench finding in paragraph-20 relating to the settlement at Ranipet was a policy for giving preference to the trained apprentices is erroneous and it is not based upon the record.
9. He lastly submitted that with effect from 14.8.2007, a new recruitment policy has been brought into force, which does not contain the clause relating to any preference and therefore any recruitment to be made after this date must be based on the new policy. Therefore, if the settlement under Section 12(3) is not a settlement in terms of giving preference and the new policy is not having any clause for preference, then the question of the petitioners being granted any relief does not arise.
