stipulated conditions for grant of temporary status and regularization
of services to the persons recruited on daily wage basis in the Central
Government Offices as on 10.09.1993. It was held in the Mohan Pal Case
SLP (Civil) No. 2224/2000 that the Scheme of
1-9-93 is not an ongoing Scheme and the temporary status can be
conferred on the casual labourers under that Scheme only if they were inemployment on the
date of the commencement of the scheme and they should have rendered
continuous service of at least one year i.e. at least 240 days in a year
or 206 days (in case of offices having 5 days a week). The
Scheme inter-alia provided for regularization of CL-TS against Group `D’
posts.
2. Following the acceptance of
the recommendation of the 6th CPC, all Group D posts have been upgraded
to Group C posts. Recruitment to erstwhile Group `D’ posts placed in
Group ‘C’, PB-1, Grade Pay ‘1800/- (non technical as MT Staff) is now
made only through Staff Selection Commission and minimum educational
qualification for appointment is Matriculation or ITI pass. Regularisation of CL-TS therefore cannot
be done by theMinistries/ Departments on their own and requires
relaxation of para-8 of the Appendix to the O.M. dated 10.09.1993.
