Nallathambi Vs. the Superintendent of Police and ors.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-29-2004

Reported in: AIR2005Mad192; (2005)1MLJ470

Markandey Katju, C.J.1. This writ appeal has been filed against the impugned order dated 15-7-2004 of the learned single Judge.2. The appellant has filed the writ petition, praying for a Writ of Mandamus directing the Superintendent of Police, Cuddalore to grant police protection for the property in dispute and award adequate compensation.3. It appears that the appellant obtained a decree for possession and title in O.S. No. 625 of 1992 from the Court of District Munsif, Cuddalore as against the fifth respondent. Learned counsel for the Government stated that the property in question belongs to the Government. If that is so, in our opinion, the Government was a 'necessary party' to the suit but the Government was not made a party in the said suit. Hence, the decree obtained by the appellant is not binding on the Government. In this situation, if the appellant is allowed to execute the decree against the Government, it will lead to strange consequences. For instance, if a property belon...

N. Selvan Vs. the Inspector General of Police, Crpf,

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-29-2004

Reported in: (2005)1MLJ352

Markandey Katju, C.J.1. This appeal has been filed against the impugned order of the learned single Judge dated 27.8.2004.2. The appellant was only a daily wage employee who worked from 1991 to 1994. A daily wage employee is only a temporary employee. It is well settled that a temporary employee has no right to the post vide State Of U.P. v. Kaushal Kishore Shukla : [1991]1SCR29 .3. Hence, obviously, the appellant has no right to the post.4. The learned single Judge has, however, directed that he should be considered for fresh appointment if the law permits. In our opinion, there is no infirmity in this order of the learned single Judge. If the law does not permit, obviously, the appellant cannot be considered. For instance, if there is an age limit, then, this Court cannot direct that he should be considered if he has crossed the age limit. It is only if the rules permit relaxation in the age limit that the authority concerned can consider such relaxation in accordance with the said p...
