Headnote | Service Law: Appointments – Illegal appointments – Entitlement to salary or consequential rights of pension and other monetary benefits – Held: Rights to salary, pension and other service benefits are entirely statutory in nature in public service – These rights, spring from a valid and legal appointment to the post – Once it is found that the very appointment is illegal and is non-est in the eye of law, no statutory entitlement for salary or consequential rights of pension and other monetary benefits can arise – On facts, matter pertaining to appointments against Class II or IV posts in the Health Department in Government wherein Committee Report held the appointments to be irregular appointments, illegal appointments and appointments on forged letters and on basis thereof termination orders were passed against the candidates who secured employment on basis of forged documents and whose appointments were illegal and irregular appointees were allowed to continue – In writ petition thereagainst, the Committee Report was quashed with direction to re-instate the employees – As regards irregular appointment, it cannot be said that the appointment of the employees were irregular appointments but are illegal appointment – As such appointments were made without any sanctioned post, without any advertisement giving opportunity to all eligible candidates to apply and seek public employment and without any method of recruitment – Such appointments were backdoor entries, an act of nepotism and favoritism and thus from any judicial standards cannot be said to be irregular appointments but are illegal appointments in wholly arbitrary process – Furthermore, since employees have been working for around 25 years, it cannot be said that humanitarian view should be taken to set aside the termination order and regularise their services so as to make them entitled to pension and other retirement benefits. |
