Case Note & Summary
The case involved a petition filed by a daily wages employee in the Forest Department, who sought regularization of his service based on a Supreme Court ruling. The petitioner claimed that his employment was covered under the decision in Civil Appeal No. 3634 of 1998, which addressed similar issues of employment rights for daily wage workers. During the hearing, both the petitioner's counsel and the learned Standing Counsel acknowledged the applicability of the Supreme Court's decision to the petitioner's situation. They agreed that the court should direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's case for regularization and ensure he receives the minimum pay scale until his service is regularized. The court accepted this agreement and ordered that the entire process be completed within six weeks, thereby disposing of the petition favorably for the petitioner.
