Secretary, State Of Karnataka And ... vs Umadevi And Others on 10 April, 2006
6. Inderpal Yadav's decision (supra) for regularising the project casual
labourers was an one time measure based on the seniority of the retrenched
casual labourers. If the applicant was qualified and was aggrieved for not
including his name in the list prepared by the Southern Railway in terms
Inderpal Yadav's decision or in the light of the order passed by this
Tribunal in OA No. 1706/1994, he ought to have made representations. It
appears that the applicant is raising his claim long after the process of
regularisation of project casual labourers in compliance of the Inderpal
Yadav's decision was completed. Now it is settled law by Secretary, State
of Karnataka & Ors. v. Umadevi (3) & Ors. - (2006) 4 SCC 1 - that the
appointments in the Government sector can be made only in accordance
with the constitutional scheme envisaged under Article 16 of the
Constitution of India.
