Aggrieved by a common order passed by the learned Judge directing the management of ONGC to regularize the services of persons, who had completed 240 days of service in a period of 12 months, after their appointments on tenure basis in the year 2008, together with notional benefits, the management of ONGC has come up with 24 writ appeals. The 25th writ appeal (W.A. No. 285/2017) is filed by an individual, who applied for appointment to a post in ONGC, pursuant to the recruitment notification issued in September, 2014. His dream is that if hundreds of workers are deprived of the benefit of regularization, he will get appointment. Apart from these 25 writ appeals, there are 4 writ petitions, which were left out of the batch of cases disposed of by the learned Judge and hence they are also tagged along with the writ appeals.
