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 decision. The petitioner referenced Civil Appeal No. 3634 of 1998, State of U.P. and others versus Putti Lal, asserting that his situation fell within the scope of the ruling. 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 Supreme Court's decision, he should be regularized and paid at least the minimum pay scale until his service was fully regularized. The court mandated that this process be completed within six weeks. The petition was disposed of with these directions.
