Punjab State Electricity Board & Ors vs Jagjiwan Ram And Ors on 12 February, 2009
15. Reliance was placed on the decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of Punjab State Electricity Board and others vs.
Jagjiwan Ram and others3 in which the concept of work charge
establishment was explained as under:
Maharashtra State Road Trans.Corp. ... vs Casteribe Rajya P. Karmchari ... on 28 August, 2009
16. Reliance was placed on the decision in the case of
Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation and another
vs. Casteribe Rajya Parivahan Karmachari Sanghatana 4, to
contend that under the shield of the judgment in Uma Devi
(supra), the state authorities cannot commit unfair labour practices.
In this very judgment itself, the Court had held that undoubtedly,
creation of posts is not within the domain of judicial functions which
obviously pertains to the executive. It is equally true that the status
of permanency cannot be granted by the Court when no such post
exists and that executive functions and powers with regard to the
creation of posts cannot be arrogated by the Court. We may
recall in the present case, the Industrial Court had directed the
employer to grant permanent status to the workman immediately
upon completion of 240 days of work. The Industrial Court has not
even come to the conclusion that at the time of engagement of the
workman, or even at the time when the judgment was rendered,
sanctioned posts were vacant. The directions issued by the
Industrial Court would thus virtually amount to creating post, where
none existed.
Article 12 in Constitution of India [Constitution]
National Buildings Construction ... vs S. Raghunathan & Ors., S. P. Singh & Ors on 28 August, 1998
46. Learned Senior Counsel for some of the respondents
argued that on the basis of the doctrine of legitimate
expectation, the employees, especially of the Commercial
Taxes Department, should be directed to be regularized
since the decisions in Dharwad, Piara Singh, Jacob, and
Gujarat Agricultural University and the like, have given rise to
an expectation in them that their services would also be
regularized. The doctrine can be invoked if the decisions of
the Administrative Authority affect the person by depriving
him of some benefit or advantage which either (i) he had in
the past been permitted by the decision-maker to enjoy and
which he can legitimately expect to be permitted to continue
to do until there have been communicated to him some
rational grounds for withdrawing it on which he has been
given an opportunity to comment; or (ii) he has received
assurance from the decision-maker that they will not be
withdrawn without giving him first an opportunity of
advancing reasons for contending that they should not be
withdrawn [See Lord Diplock in Council for Civil Service

Construction Corpn. Vs. S. Raghunathan and Chanchal
Goyal (Dr.) Vs. State of Rajasthan]. There is no case that
any assurance was given by the Government or the
department concerned while making the appointment on
daily wages that the status conferred on him will not be
withdrawn until some rational reason comes into existence
for withdrawing it. The very engagement was against the
constitutional scheme. Though, the Commissioner of the
Commercial Taxes Department sought to get the
appointments made permanent, there is no case that at the
time of appointment any promise was held out. No such
promise could also have been held out in view of the
circulars and directives issued by the Government after
Dharwad decision. Though, there is a case that the State
had made regularizations in the past of similarly situated
employees, the fact remains that such regularizations were
done only pursuant to judicial directions, either of the
Administrative Tribunal or of the High Court and in some
case by this Court. Moreover, the invocation of the doctrine
of legitimate expectation cannot enable the employees to
claim that they must be made permanent or they must be
regularized in the service though they had not been selected
in terms of the rules for appointment. The fact that in certain
cases the court had directed regularization of the employees
involved in those cases cannot be made use of to found a
claim based on legitimate expectation. The argument if
accepted would also run counter to the constitutional
mandate. The argument in that behalf has therefore to be
rejected.

workman that the vacancy was permanent and filled by his
appointment through regular selection and that giving an
appointment on work charge basis was only a facade.
