IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5712 of 2000 RAMANUJ TIWARY & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 05 31.3.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the State of Bihar and also learned counsel for the Veer Kunwar Singh University. The four petitioners came to this Court with a prayer for regularization of services. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the claims of all the four petitioners are based on a common platform on law and facts. Relief has been granted by regularization of their services to petitioner nos. 1 and 2 by orders dated 31.12.2007, appended at Annexure-11 to a supplementary affidavit filed today. Leave is sought to withdraw the writ application insofar as the petitioner nos. 1 and 2 are concerned as relief prayed for has been granted to them. The writ application is permitted to withdrawn insofar as the petitioner nos. 1 and 2 are concerned. The next submission of the learned counsel is that if the four petitioners are situated on a common platform on facts and law, there is no 2 justification for the respondents to deny the same benefit and treatment to petitioner nos. 3 and 4. Learned counsel for the respondent University submits that the question of regularization arises only in the event the petitioners are still in service. If the petitioners are situated on a common platform and the respondent University in its own wisdom has granted certain benefits to petitioner nos. 1 and 2, fairness and reasonableness on its part requires it to consider, if petitioner nos. 3 and 4 are situated on a similar platform and if satisfied accord similar treatment to them as per law. Let such consideration and decision be taken with regard to petitioner nos. 2 and 3 within a maximum period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The writ application disposed off with the aforesaid observation. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
