JUDGMENT : Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. These petitioners are seeking absorption in the State Government as they claimed to have been working in the National Child Labour Project Schools implemented under the policy decision of the Central Government in the concerned Districts of the State for over a period of 17/18 years. The scheme apparently is to be closed as per the communication of the Ministry of Labour and Employment dated 24.9.2013(Annexure-5). 3. Perusal of the said communication shows that the Project was conceived to provide support to working children by way of rehabilitation cum welfare centers (NCLP schools) run by voluntary organization selected by the District Project Society headed by the District Collector with maximum of two educational Instructors, who were paid fixed honorarium by the Project Society. Due to concerted efforts of the Central and State Governments, the incidence of child labour is showing a declining trend, which has resulted in closure of some of the schools. On these projections, the letter (Annexure-5) addressed to the Chief Secretary, Jharkhand suggests that services of voluntary educational instructors, who have undergone training in Pedagogy in local Teachers Training Institutes and now are suffering a sense of insecurity due to closure of some schools, would be used in the larger interest of the country, State and the Society. These voluntary educational instructors may also be considered and given due weightage for their training and experience in teaching, subject to their satisfying conditions about educational qualifications as and when the State Government/districts are looking to recruit additional teachers for formal/non-formal Government schools. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the said document to submit that the State Government should consider the claim of the petitioners and such other persons for absorption. Certain enclosure in the writ petition in the nature of correspondence of the State Government has been relied by the petitioners. 5. Learned counsel for the Union of India submits that the language employed in the said letter would only be in the nature of suggestion to be considered by the State Government with no binding effect. 6. Learned counsel for the State submits that this Project itself was baby of Central Government and run through voluntary organizations selected by the District Project society through educational instructors having fixed honorarium paid by the Project Society. Therefore, the State Government has hardly any role to play. 6. Learned counsel for the State submits that this Project itself was baby of Central Government and run through voluntary organizations selected by the District Project society through educational instructors having fixed honorarium paid by the Project Society. Therefore, the State Government has hardly any role to play. If the Central Government has chosen to close the Project due to declining trend in incidence of child labour, in the absence of policy decision of the State Government, petitioners cannot seek writ in the nature of mandamus or direction for their absorption. 7. Having considered the aforesaid material on record and submission of the parties, the claim of the petitioners for absorption of their services in the State Government is not found to be supported by a conscious policy decision of the State Government till now. The engagement of one or the other person in Child Labour School was under the Project of Central Government, which obviously is in the process of being closed or has been closed. In the absence of any such policy decision of the State, this Court cannot issue any direction for their absorption. However, it is left open to the petitioners to pursue their representation before the authorities under the State Government. Nothing more can be observed than that. 8. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
