Case Note & Summary
The case involved a petitioner claiming to be a daily wage employee in the forest department, seeking regularization of his services. The petitioner referenced a Supreme Court decision in Civil Appeal No. 3634 of 1998, which he argued supported his claim for regularization. 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 this 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 that regularization occurred. The court set a timeline of six weeks for this exercise to be completed. The writ petition was disposed of accordingly.
