An individual benefiting from the concession of retrospective regularisation cannot challenge the terms of the order.

M.M. Sundresh, J.

1. The writ petitioner is the appellant herein. In pursuant to the order of the Tamil Nadu State Administrative Tribunal, the 1st respondent, passed an order considering the question of regularisation and the issue of giving appointment to the appellant, with retrospective effect. Thereafter, a Government Order was passed by the 1st respondent in G.O.Ms.No.233, Agriculture Department, dated 11.6.2007, by which, the appellant's services were regularised with effect from the date of his initial appointment as a daily wager, from 2.2.1980 with the entitlement of the monetry benefit w.e.f. 22.12.2006. The monetary benefit was granted as per the earlier order passed in G.O.Ms.No.399, Agriculture Department, dated 22.12.2006. Now, the appellant has come forward to file the writ petition stating that in view of the retrospective regularisation, he should be given all the monetary benefits with effect from the date of his initial appointment.

2. The learned single Judge has rightly dismissed the writ petition, by holding that in the absence of any legal right, the appellant cannot seek such a relief. Admittedly, the appellant was appointed as a Watchman, on a daily wage basis. However, his age was relaxed and his services were regularised with retrospective effect, by way of a concession. The appellant, having benefited by the said concession, cannot challenge the terms of the said order, by contending that he should be given the monetary benefits from the date of his initial appointment. Further, the appellant was granted such a concession as per G.O.Ms.No.399, dated 22.12.2006, and the said order has not been challenged. Therefore, we do not find any reason to interfere with the well reasoned order passed by the learned single Judge. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. No costs.
