IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1746 of 2009 KAILASH BISHWASH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 4/2/2009 On the own showing of the petitioner prayer for regularization of service cannot be allowed for a simple reason that the petitioner is no longer in service after the year 1995. The process for regularization in fact has also been deprecated by the Apex Court in the case of ‘Secretary, State of Karnataka and others Vs. Uma Devi(3) and others,’ reported in AIR 2006 (4) SCC 1. There is in fact nothing on the record to show that initial appointment of the petitioner was made following the mandate of Article 14 of the Constitution. In that view of the matter, grievance of the petitioner as with regard to his being regularized in service appears to be wholly misconceived and accordingly this writ application, being devoid of any merit, is dismissed.
