Case Note & Summary
The case involved a petition filed by a daily wage employee in the Forest Department seeking regularization of his service. The petitioner claimed entitlement to regularization based on the Supreme Court's decision in Civil Appeal No. 3634 of 1998, which addressed similar issues regarding daily wage employees. Both the petitioner's counsel and the learned Standing Counsel agreed that the case should be considered in light of the Supreme Court's ruling. The court acknowledged the agreement and directed the respondents to assess the petitioner's eligibility for regularization and to ensure he receives the minimum pay scale until his service is regularized. The court mandated that this process be completed within six weeks, thereby disposing of the petition favorably for the petitioner.
