Ramani Kakati vs The State Of Assam And Anr on 10 June, 2025
"18. The present issue has already been decided by the Co-Ordinate
Bench of this Court in WP(C) Nos. 2416/2014, 3116/2014 and
4254/2014. The petitioners, who were regularized Muster Roll/Work
charge workers in the Water Resource Department, Govt. Of Assam filed
WP(C) 2416/2014 (Sri Dilip Talukdar and 21 Others vs State of Assam
and 5 Others) where they challenged their reversion to their original
posts after being promoted. WP(C) 2416/2014 was disposed of by a
Page No.# 7/9
Coordinate Bench of this Court on 16.03.2015, holding that when
regularization of a Grade-IV Muster Roll/Work-charge worker has been
done against a personal post, the post held by those persons would be
outside the cadre of Grade-IV post, i.e., an ex-cadre post. Unless a person
who is holding an ex-cadre post is en-cadred into a cadre post, which is a
feeder cadre to a higher cadre post, the person holding the personal post
cannot be promoted to a higher cadre post. This Court thereafter
dismissed the writ petition filed by the petitioners.
