IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. LPA No. 252 of 2011. Decided on: 27.7.2011. __________________________________________________________ State of H.P. & others. … Appellants. Versus Daljit Singh. … Respondent. __________________________________________________________ Coram: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Sharma, Judge. For the appellant : Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. AG and Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. AG. For the respondents : None. ___________________________________________________________ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral). CMP(M) No. 813 of 2010 & LPA No. 252 of 2011: This is an application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal by the appellant-State. The issue pertains to the regularization of the daily wager as Pump Operator. The learned Single Judge has taken the view that in case no qualification was insisted for appointment as daily wager and the incumbent having worked for long, there is no justification in insisting for the qualification at the time of regularization as per the policy. Reliance is placed on the decision of the Supreme Court in Bhagwati Prasad vs. Delhi State Mineral Development Corporation, AIR 1990 SC 371. Therefore, there is no merit in the application for condonation of delay and also in the appeal, hence the same are dismissed. (Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice. (Justice V.K. Sharma) July 27, 2011. Judge. (cr/virender)
