Case Note & Summary
The case involved a petition filed by a daily wages employee in the Forest Department seeking regularization of service. The petitioner claimed entitlement to regularization based on the Supreme Court's decision in Civil Appeal No.3634 of 1998, which was acknowledged by both the petitioner's counsel and the learned Standing Counsel. The court heard the arguments and agreed that the petitioner's case should be considered in light of the aforementioned Supreme Court judgment. It was determined that if the petitioner's case fell within the scope of the Supreme Court's ruling, he should be regularized and paid at least the minimum pay scale until his service was officially regularized. The court ordered that this process be completed within six weeks, thereby disposing of the petition.
