Case Note & Summary
The case involved a petition filed by an individual claiming to be a daily wages employee in the Forest Department. The petitioner sought regularization of his service and payment of minimum pay scale, citing a Supreme Court decision in Civil Appeal No.3634 of 1998, which he believed applied to his situation. Both the petitioner's counsel and the learned Standing Counsel agreed that the court should direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's case in light of the Supreme Court's ruling. The court acknowledged the agreement and ordered that if the petitioner's case was covered by the Supreme Court's decision, he should be regularized and paid the minimum pay scale until his service was regularized. The court set a timeline of six weeks for the completion of this exercise. The petition was disposed of accordingly.
