The applicant is an Ex.Servicemen. He was offered appointment of L.D.C. On 23.5.2000. He made a representation requesting him a posting in Kerala. Accordingly an order was passed on 17.11.2000 whereby the applicant was directed to report for duty at the office of Chief Engineer (Electrical), B.S.N.L. and accordingly, the applicant joined duty there on 29.11.2000. Consequent on the acceptance of the option for absorption in B.S.N.L. the applicant was granted adhoc amount of Rs.1000/- with effect from 1.10.2000. On 17.6.2004, the applicant was repatriated to Department of Telecommunications. That order of repatriation was set aside by the Hon'ble High Court as per judgement in WP(C) 18267/2004. The first respondent issued a notice requesting the applicant to make a representation if any on the proposed repatriation. Thus the applicant made a representation objecting to the repatriation. The representation submitted by him was however, rejected and they ordered to repatriate the applicant. That order was again challenged by the applicant before the Hon'ble High Court in W.P.(C)2796/2004. By Annexure A1 judgement dated 20.02.2008 the Hon'ble High Court restrained the respondents from repatriating the applicant. That judgement was confirmed by the Hon'ble Division Bench in Writ Appeal No.1276/2008. Though the respondents challenged it before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the judgment of the High Court was confirmed.
