Headnote | Service Law – Termination – Plea of continuity of servicewith consequential benefits – Respondent was appointed as acontract conductor in the appellant-corporation – He was subjectedto a departmental enquiry, after which he was terminated –Respondent preferred departmental appeal, which was dismissed –However in departmental review, order for the re-engagement ofthe respondent on contract was issued – After his re-engagement,respondent filed writ petition and pleaded for continuity of servicewith consequential service benefits – Single Judge of the High Courtconsidering the earlier decision dated 29.02.2012 in Writ PetitionNo.2786 of 2012, disposed of the writ petition filed by therespondent and directed the appellant to extend the benefit ofcontinuity of service to him from the date of termination until thedate of his re-engagement except for the period during which hewas absent – Direction was confirmed by the Division Bench of theHigh Court – On appeal, held: In instant case, respondent did notassail either the termination of his services following the enquiryor the fresh appointment – He only sought benefit of continuity ofservice from the date of the earlier termination until the date of hisre-engagement – Grant of continuity by the Single Judge was notsustainable unless the order of termination and/or the freshappointment were challenged and adjudicated upon, seniority wouldnecessarily have to count with effect from the date of the freshappointment – As a matter of principle, continuity can be grantedwhen an order of termination is set aside, to ensure that there is nohiatus in service – Thus, grant of continuity of service by the HighCourt was manifestly misconceived |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
