CORAM: HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE K.M.THAKER
Date : 09/03/2015
COMMON ORAL ORDER
1. During the hearing of this group of
petitions, question arose with regard to number
of vacancies / posts to be reserved for
appointment by way of promotion and consequently,
issue with regard to number of vacancies which
are advertised also arose inasmuch as the
petitioners expressed apprehension that number of
vacancies which are advertised preferably
includes the vacancies which should be reserved
for appointment by way of promotion, learned
advocate for the respondents was asked to seek
necessary clarification on this count. Mr.
Supehia, learned advocate for the respondents
submitted that the vacancies include all existing
vacancies including the vacancies which,
according to the judgment by Division Bench and
in view of the recommendation by the report by
Page 2 of 4
C/SCA/4366/2014 ORDER
Justice Shetty Pay Commission, have to be
reserved for appointment by promotion. In this
view of the matter, it appears appropriate that
the said fact may be placed on record by way of
affidavit, more particularly because some of the
petitions, particularly the petitions filed by
employees in Metropolitan Court, seek relief with
regard to all districts in the State.
2. In view of the clarification by learned
advocate for the respondents, Mr. Pujara and Mr.
Raval, learned advocates for the petitioners
submitted that since the process of finalisation
of selection list is in progress, appropriate
interim order to safeguard the interest of the
employees may be passed.
3. Appropriate order can be passed after
considering the details which may be brought on
record by affidavit of the respondents.
