Jammu | Jan 19
Justice JP Singh of J&K High Court Jammu Wing in a petition filed by Vijay Kumar Gupta and Ashok Kumar, Inspectors in the J&K Police, has directed Home Department and DGP to consider the representations of the petitioners and passed appropriate orders of the petitioners to their initial appointment as Junior Scale Stenographer within a period of three months. In case the respondents find the petitioners entitled to their initial appointments as Junior Scale stenographers on the basis of merit obtained by them in the interview, the petitioners shall be entitled to all the consequential benefits which would have occurred to them, had they been initially appointed as Junior Scale stenographers.
This significant judgment has been passed in the petition filed through Adv Anil Sethi in which it has been submitted that a direction to the respondents for treating them as Junior Scale Stenographers with effect from 1981 with all retrospective consequential benefits including seniority and promotions. This petition has been pending in the High Court for over a period of six years. The respondents have, however, chosen not to file any reply to the petition. They had been given liberty to dispose of the representation of the petitioners in terms of the order passed on March 29, 2001, but nothing in this direction appear to have been done by them.
Adv Anil Sethi appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners would be satisfied in case the petition was disposed off with a time bound direction to the respondents to decide their representations.
Justice JP Singh after considering the case of the petitioners observed that in view of the respondents failure to file response to the petition and their absence at the time when the petition was taken up for consideration, there is no other course left, except to consider the submission of Advocate Anil Sethi appearing for the petitioners and disposed off the petition in the light of the averments made in the petition and submissions made at the bar and issued above directions.
