Absorption of Contract Labour, Causal Labour and Village Electricity Workers in APSEB

Brief facts of the case:

The petitioners worked as contract labour, Causal Labour and Village Electricity Workers in the A.P. Transco and A.P Genco (Previously known as APSEB) years together. For absorption of the said workers, the APSEB has issued B.P.Ms.No. 36 & 37 dt. 18-5-1997. As the said B.Ps they are entitled for absorption. Thereafter the APSEB issued another B.P. 271 dt. 31-12- 1997 by imposing certain conditions for absorption of the said workers. The APSEB interviewed and rejected their absorption as the conditions not fulfilled as per the B.P. 271 dt. 31-12- 1997. The same was questioned before the Hon’ble High court of A.P. The Hon’ble Court said in W.A. that the board can not operate the B.P. 271 dt. 31-12-1997 as retrospectively and can operate as prospectively. Therefore the WA was allowed and directed APSEB to absorb the said workers.

This case was filed by me for the petitioners and got favourable orders.
