IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14146 of 2009 SRI MUNESHWAR PASWAN & ORS. Versus The State of Bihar ----------- 2. 7.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Molding the submission at the stage of argument, learned counsel submits that the petitioners are seasonal workers and therefore as and when their services are engaged, they are required to be paid seasonal labour as per the Government notification dated 18.6.2000 as it may have been modified from time to time. The next submission is that though they may be seasonal workers, on daily wages, as and when vacancies are advertised, they are also eligible to apply and they are required to be considered on their own merits in accordance with law inclusive of their past experience. Learned counsel for the State does not oppose the submission with regard to the payment of seasonal wages in accordance with law and their rights to be considered in accordance with law but objects that this Court cannot lay down the qualifications for eligibility and which is for the employee to decide. If there be any arrears in law of the daily wages already paid, as may have been regulated by the State 2 Government, let such arrears be paid within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
