JUSTICE DIXIT KRISHNA SHRIPAD
Order No.
01.
ORDER 28.10.2025
Petitioners, who are working as Part Time Physical Education Instructors, are knocking at the doors of Writ Court seeking a direction for the regularization of their services on the ground that they have completed about twelve years of unblemished service and that, there is requirement of their services on regular basis in the institutions, wherein they have been posted.
2.
Learned counsel appearing for the Petitioners presses into service Apex Court decision in Jaggo v. Union of India, 2024 INSC 1034 in support of his contention.
3. Learned AGA-Mr. Behura appearing for OPs opposes the petition inter alia contending that all the Petitioners are only part timers and therefore, ordinarily they will have right to regularization of their services at par with full timers. Having so contended, now he fairly agrees to instruct his clients to look into the grievance of the Petitioners, as has been aired in the subject representation dated 25.08.2025, a copy whereof avails at Annexure-6 series that has been addressed to OP No.1, namely, Commissioner-cum-Secretary to p. 2 Govt. of Odisha, School & Mass Education Department. With this proposal counsel for the Petitioners is agreeable. In the above circumstances, writ petition is disposed off fixing a period of eight weeks for consideration of the subject representation and to inform the Petitioners individually the result of such
consideration within an outer limit of nine weeks. All contentions are kept open. It hardly needs to be stated that the consideration should happen in the light of observations of Apex Court in Jaggo supra and such other norms. The consideration should take place in the light of latest Apex Court decision in Dharam Singh & Others v. State of U.P. & Another in Civil Appeal No.8558 of 2018 decided on 19.08.2025. It is open to the answering Opposite Parties to solicit any information or documents from the side of the Petitioner, as required for taking a decision on the subject representation. However, in that guise delay shall not be brooked. Now, no costs. Web copy of this order to be acted upon by all concerned.
