W.P. No. 1413 of 2007 (S/S) Hon. P.C. Pant, J. Learned counsel for the parties are present. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner, a work charge employee with the Kumaon Jal Sansthan, has sought his regularization in service. In view of principle of law laid down in the Secretary State of Karnataka Vs. Uma Devi; reported in (2006) 4 Supreme Court Cases Pg. 01, this Court cannot direct regularization of an employee, who has not been inducted in the service under the rules through a selection process. In the circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed with the observation that if the petitioner is already regularized, this order would not affect the same. It is further observed that for the regularization, the petitioner is at liberty to make representation to the authorities concerned, in the matter. (P.C. P., J.) 27.10.2007 HN
