In Upendra Narayan & Ors (supra) and Renu and
Others (supra), relied upon by learned counsel for the
respondents, the issue before the Hon'ble Apex Court
was regarding regularisation of the services of the
Casual Labourers/Daily Wagers/ad-hoc employees, who
were not appointed as per the Recruitment Rules,
whereas in the instant case, the applicant was appointed
as Postal Assistant on regular basis and is being
terminated after conducting a regular departmental
enquiry. Moreover, the charge of his appointment being
not as per rules, could not be established during the
departmental enquiry. Therefore, it cannot be said that
appointment of the applicant was contrary to the
departmental rules.
