New Delhi, July 26: Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has ordered the Delhi government to regularise the services of ten daily-wage employees working on the post of nursing orderly in a hospital here. Acting on a petition filed by Kanchedmal and nine other daily-wage employees of the Dr Baba Sahib Ambedkar Hospital in Rohini, CAT's principal bench through its member Govindan S Tampi directed Delhi Government Secretary (health), health services director and the Medical Superintendent of the hospital to regularise their services. "... The respondents (the hospital) may favourably consider the case of these ten applicants only for being regularised against available vacancies, for filling up the posts for which an advertisement has already been issued in accordance with rules," CAT member Tampi said in the order.


However the tribunal said that in the event of such regularisation, they should be treated as fresh appointees like others who have responded to the advertisement.


The employees were working in the hospital since July- August 1999 on the post of nursing orderly, their counsel Jagdev Singh claimed. Bureau Report
