\n

Calcutta High Court:<\/span> In a writ petition seeking regularisation of service post-retirement and claim to entitlement to pension and other retiral dues, a single-judge bench comprising of Kausik Chanda,* J.<\/span>, rejected the petitioner’s plea for regularisation of service post-retirement, emphasising the absence of a sanctioned post for the petitioner’s appointment. The Court also dismissed claims of discrimination and highlighted the negative stance of previous judgments on the regularisation of ad-hoc and illegal appointments.<\/p>\n

Brief Facts<\/p>\n

In the instant matter, the petitioner retired in 2022 as a Laboratory Attendant in the Geology Department at Trivenidevi Bhalotia College. The petitioner was initially appointed as a part-time Laboratory Attendant in 1983 and later as a full-time Laboratory Attendant in 1984. Two other employees were also given full-time appointments in different departments at the same time. The College, by an order dated 28-03-2022, rejected the petitioner’s request for regularisation. The petitioner seeks regularisation of his service post-retirement, claiming entitlement to pension and other retiral dues.<\/p>\n

Moot Point<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Whether the petitioner’s service, termed as “irregular appointment,” is eligible for post-retirement regularisation?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Whether the denial of regularisation to the petitioner, while others were regularised, amounts to discrimination?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Whether the petitioner’s appointment was against a sanctioned post?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Parties’ Contentions<\/p>\n

    The petitioner contended that his service should be regularised as he possessed the required qualifications and served for over ten years against a sanctioned post. The petitioner relied on the judgments in State of Karnataka<\/span> v. Umadevi (3)<\/span>, (2006) 4 SCC 1<\/a> and State of Jharkhand<\/span> v. Kamal Prasad<\/span>, (2014) 7 SCC 223<\/a> to support the post-retirement regularisation claim.<\/p>\n

    On the other hand, the respondent college argued that the petitioner’s appointment was irregular and not against a sanctioned post, making regularisation impermissible. The respondent cited several precedents, including Mohd. Ashif<\/span> v. State of Bihar<\/span>, (2010) 5 SCC 475<\/a>, Subedar Singh<\/span> v. Distt. Judge, Mirzapur<\/span>, (2001) 1 SCC 37<\/a>, and Vibhuti Shankar Pandey<\/span> v. . State of M.P.<\/span>, (2023) 3 SCC 639<\/a>, to argue against the regularisation of ad-hoc and illegal appointments.<\/p>\n

    Court’s Decision<\/p>\n

    The Court dismissed the writ petition holding that the petitioner’s service, being irregular and against an unsanctioned post, cannot be regularised post-retirement.<\/p>\n

    The Court stated that the judgment referred as precedents is establishing a negative stance on the regularisation of ad-hoc, illegal appointments and rejected the petitioner’s claim of negative equality based on the regularisation of other employees in similar situations.<\/p>\n
