Case Note & Summary
The case involved a petition filed by a daily wages employee in the Forest Department, who sought regularization of his services based on a Supreme Court decision. The petitioner claimed entitlement to regularization under the precedent set in Civil Appeal No. 3634 of 1998, State of U.P. and others versus Putti Lal. 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 a minimum pay scale until his service was regularized. The court set a timeline of six weeks for the completion of this exercise, thereby disposing of the petition.
