Case Note & Summary

The case involved a petitioner claiming to be a daily wages employee in the Forest Department, seeking regularization of his service based on a Supreme Court ruling. The petitioner referenced the decision in Civil Appeal No. 3634 of 1998, State of U.P. and others versus Putti Lal, asserting that his situation fell under the same purview. Both the petitioner's counsel and the learned Standing Counsel agreed that the court should direct the respondents to evaluate the petitioner's case in accordance with the Supreme Court's judgment. The court ordered that if the petitioner's case was indeed covered by the apex court's decision, he should be regularized and paid at least the minimum pay scale until such regularization occurred. The court mandated that this process be completed within six weeks, thereby disposing of the petition.
