IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1166 of 2009 Ram Chandra Prasad . Versus The Union Of India & Anr . ----------- 2/ 30/06/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. On the own showing of the petitioner, he was appointed on daily-wage. The fact that he may have continued for 14 long years shall not vest any right in him to claim regularization when he did not hold any post. Regularization is not a mode of appointment. It is only a method of curing any irregularity that may have been there in an appointment made against a permanent vacancy. It pre-supposes that the person is in employment in some capacity. If the services of the petitioner had been terminated as far back as the year- 1990, acknowledged by him in paragraph-12 of his writ application, the question of his regularization or consideration thereof in a writ petition filed 19 years later in the year-2009 does not arise. The application is dismissed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
