IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13360 of 2009 UPENDRA MAHTO & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 14.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. It is the case of the petitioners that they were appointed as daily wagers in the muster roll in 1982 on 29.2.1988. They were subsequently brought in the work charge establishment. They were then issued a show cause notice on 13.4.2002, why they should not be reverted to the status of daily wagers. They came to this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 6494/2002 questioning the notice. Interim orders were passed in their favour on 23.5.2002. The writ petition ultimately came to be disposed off with a batch of other writ applications when the matter was referred to a three man committee to be constituted by the State Government. The committee has now recommended their regularization on a Class- IV post, from the date of the order, i.e., 20.12.2006. Learned counsel for the State submits that they were regularized in the work charge establishment on Class-IV post. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that regularization from the date of the order i.e., 20.12.2006 is erroneous. In view the interim relief granted to the petitioners on 23.5.2002, the regularization has to be deemed to be effective from that date as the interim order as finally culminated merged in 2 the final order dated 20.12.2006. Additionally they fulfill the requirements for such regularization in the work charge establishment under the circular dated 31.3.2004 also. No useful purpose shall be served by keeping the writ application pending for a counter affidavit. Regularization has been granted. It is only the date of regularization which remains for determination. Let the respondent no. 2, take a final decision by a reasoned and speaking order on the issue of the date of regularization in light of the discussion as aforesaid, within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed off. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
