His service was terminated. It is an admitted fact that the petitioner was appointed by the Executive Engineer on daily wage as a daily wage employee on 17.8.1988. His appointment was cancelled on 4th of April 1989. The petitioner claims that originally the cut-off date for regularization of services of such persons who were terminated by the State Government was 1.1.1988. On the basis of the aforesaid facts the petitioner is claiming that he should be reinstated in service. According to the petitioner’s case, he was appointed on 17.8.1988, therefore, there is no question of him being considered for reinstatement / regularization in the Department as he has categorically stated that he was appointed on 17.8.1988. In any view of the matter his case would now be governed by the judgment in Uma Devi’s case. I find no merit in the writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. Praful- ( Sheema Ali Khan, J. )
