THE BLOCK DEVELOPMENT OFFICER,FORBESGANJ,ARARIA -- RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 5.4.2011 The petitioner has been working as a Sweeper in the Block Development Office, Forbesganj, Araria from 1998 till the present date. The prayer of the petitioner is two fold. Firstly, the petitioner claims that he should be regularized against the said post of Sweeper and secondly he prays that he should be given the daily wages prescribed by the State Government. With respect to the second prayer of the petitioner, I think it is justified and payment of daily wages should be made in accordance with the rate that has been fixed by the State Government. The District Magistrate, Araria is thus, directed to pay the daily wages to the petitioner in accordance with the rate fixed by the State Government. The District Magistrate, Araria should also consider the question of regularization of the petitioner to the post of Sweeper keeping in view the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka & Ors. Vs. Uma Devi & Ors. reported in (2006) 4 SCC 1. This writ application is thus, disposed of with the aforesaid observation. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
