( 3 ) THE petitioner, therefore, by filing this petition, has inter alia contended that the termination order is contrary to the principles of natural justice and violative of provisions of the settlement dated 26. 2. 1771, Schedule II, item No. 2 (K ). It is, therefore, the case of the petitioner mat he is entitled to recategorisation for the post of helper. ( 4 ) ACCORDING to the further case of the petitioner, he is subsequently found cured from the said disease by Shardaben Hospital, Ahmedabad and he is now fit to work as a conductor. It is in this context that he has filed this petition questioning the order of his termination on the ground of medical unfitness.

Only in certain cases, certain types of employees are considered eligible for categorisation as per the settlement.

Only in certain cases, certain types of employees are considered eligible for categorisation as per the settlement. The respondent Corporation has also placed reliance on circulars Nos. 547 dated 25. 2. 1995 and No. 448 dated 20. 1. 1996. ( 6 ) LEARNED Advocaate for the petitioner has placed reliance on the decision of the honourable Supreme Court in Narendra Kumar Chandla vs. State of Haryana, AIR 1995 sc 519 . In that case, the employee while working as sub-station attendant unfortunately had to be operated for cancer and ever since he was treated in Tata Memorial Hospital at bombay upto 18. 3. 1885. Thereafter, the employee was discharged and his right arm was completely amputated due to the said Sarcoma. It was a cancer effect but it was arrested. The doctor also recommended that the employee could assume his normal duties. The employer had absorbed him as carrier attendant instead of sub-station attendant. Feeling dissatisfied, the employee approached the High court challenging the order of the employer which came to be rejected. However, the Honourable Supreme court allowed the appeal. The pertinent observations made by the apex court are in para 7 of the said decision which are as follows :"article 21 protects the right to livelihood as an integral facet of right to life. When an employer is afflicted with unfortunate disease due to which, when he is unable to perform the duties of the posts he was holding, the employer must make every endeavour to adjust him in a post in which the employee would be suitable to discharge the duties as a carrier attendant is unjust. Since he is a matriculate, he is eligible for the post of LDC. For LDC, apart from matriculation, passing in typing test either in Hindi or English at the speed of 15/30 words per minute is necessary. For a clerk, typing generally is not a must. In view of the facts and circumstances of this case, we direct the respondent Board to relex his passing of typing test and to appoint him as a ldc. Admittedly, on the date when he had unfortunate operation, he was drawing the salary in the pay scale of Rs. 1400-2300. Necessarily, therefore, his last drawn pay has to be protected.
