IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.880 of 2009 Babu Lal Ram . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- 2. 27.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The claim in this writ application is for regularization on the post of Sweeper. The petitioner claims to have been appointed on daily wages in the year 2000 while he claimed to have worked earlier on contract basis. On the own showing of the petitioner he is no more in service in any capacity since the year 2007. The writ petition was not filed while he was in service but after the master-servant relationship ended. If it was a contractual appointment the terms of the appointment will be regulated by the contract. If he was a daily wager he holds no post and the question of his regularization does not arise. Regularization is not a mode of appointment. It connotes an appointment on a post but which may suffer from certain infirmity of procedures for appointment not fully followed. There can be no retrospective regularization. If the petitioner is no more in service, on his own showing, the question of any regularization dose not arise. It shall have to be a case of fresh appointment. The 2 submission on behalf of the petitioner for age relaxation in any fresh advertisement if issued is more of a policy decision which the Court expects the State to consider appropriately. The writ application is dismissed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J. )
