Undisputedly, the petitioners were daily wagers and from the evidence, it would appear that they had not worked for 240 or more days in twelve calendar months preceding the date of retrenchment. If such is the finding based upon appreciation of the evidence, the High Court would not hold that removal amounted to illegal retrenchment. The petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged. Interim relief, if any, is vacated. No costs. [R.S.Garg, J.] kamlesh*
