Salim Ali Centre For Ornithology vs Dr.Mathew K.Sebastian on 27 July, 2021
3. Though there is no dispute qua the facts, for better
appreciation of the appeal, the short facts germane for filing this appeal
are that : the writ petitioner joined the appellants institution as Extension
Officer on 17.11.1993, but he was terminated from service on
30.01.1996 ; he, along with other similarly placed colleagues,
successfully challenged the said termination order in W.P.No.1784 of
1996 and this Court in the common order dated 23.08.2002
(Dr.E.Johnson and others V. Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and
Natural History, 2002 (4) CTC 65) directed his restatement with
service benefits, but without backwages ; the appeals filed against the
said order were dismissed in Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and
Natural History V. Dr.C.P.Geevan, (2010) 4 MLJ 1180 consequent to
which, the writ petitioner was reinstated in his original post on
16.12.2010 ; since there was a stay in the said appeal, the writ petitioner
could not join the services and he was out of employment from

23.08.2002 to 30.04.2007 and he was in some other employment only
from 01.05.2007 to 20.01.2011 ; he was entitled for service benefits in
terms of the order dated 23.08.2002, which was stayed only at the
instance of the appellants ; he submitted representations on 21.02.2011,
01.04.2011, 27.04.2011, 12.08.2011 and 21.11.2011 seeking service
and permissible and lawful monetary benefits ; since no fruitful orders
were forthcoming, he filed W.P.No.29201 of 2011 which culminated in
the order impugned in this appeal.
