reported in (2018) 17 Supreme Court Cases 641 wherein para No.7, it has held as under:-
"7. In the first, place, the Appellants failed to adduce any evidence to prove existence of any relationship between them and the FCI: Second, when the documents on record showed that the Appellants were appointed by the FCI Head Load Workers Co-Operative Society but not by the FCI then obviously the remedy of the Appellants, if at all, in relation to their any service dispute was against the said Society being their employer but not against the FCI; Third, the FCI was able to prove with the aid of evidence that the Appellants were in the employment of the said Society whereas the Appellants were not able to prove with the aid of any documents that they were appointed by the FCI and how and on what basis they claimed to be in the employment of the FCI except to make an averment in the writ petitions in that behalf. It was, in our opinion, not sufficient to grant any relief to the Appellants."
5. The Court further relied on the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter of Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation Ltd. Vs. Piyush Kant
[2025:RJ-JP:47759-DB] (3 of 3) [SAW-1232/2022] Sharma reported in 2020 SCC Online SC 842 in para 8, has held as under:-
"8. Having heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the respective parties, we are of the opinion that the High Court has committed a grave error in passing such an interim order restraining the Appellant Corporation from appointing new set of contractual employees in place of original writ Petitioners. No reasons, whatsoever have been assigned by the High Court while passing the impugned interim order.
The High Court has failed to appreciate and consider the fact that according to the Appellant Corporation, there was no regular sanctioned post of Computer Operator in the Appellant Corporation and that there was no employer-employee relationship between the original writ Petitioner änd the Appellant Corporation and that the original writ Petitioner was an employee appointed by the contractor on contractual basis and worked with the Appellant Corporation on contractual basis. As the writ petition is pending before the High Court, we refrain ourselves from making any further observations on merits. However, we are of the opinion that in the facts and circumstances of the case narrated hereinabove, the High Court ought not to have passed such an interim order. Under the circumstances, the impugned interim order passed by the High Court requires to be quashed and set aside."
6. In view of the above, present appeal (writ) is also dismissed with the same liberty as above. (MANEESH SHARMA),J (SANJEEV PRAKASH SHARMA),ACTING CJ DEEPA /37
