DIR.GEN.,PRASAR BHARATI . vs DILIP ROY . — C.A. No. 1458 - 1459/2010

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Prasar Bharati's appeals and upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's 2005 order directing absorption of 12 casual Production Assistants (including Dilip Roy) who had worked at Doordarshan Kolkata since 1992. Though the respondents did not meet the policy requirement of 120 days engagement before 31.12.1991, the court found the Tribunal's direction justified given their long service and available vacancies. The court directed absorption effective 26.6.2007 without back-wages, with orders to be passed within eight weeks, clarifying this exceptional relief applies only to the peculiar facts of this case and does not obligate deviation from policy in other matters.
