IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12830 of 2009 MOTI LAL RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 07.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner claims to be working on daily wages in the Office of Thakrahan Block since March, 2004. He seeks regular wages and appointment on Grade-IV post. The law stands settled that any appointment on a government post can be only in accordance with Article 14 by open advertisement and competitive selection. That he may have been working on daily wages for five years as claimed shall not vest in him any right of regular appointment. In so far as claim for wages is concerned, the petitioner is only entitled to his remuneration as a daily wage employee and he can not claim parity in salary with those in regular service. The writ application is disposed with directions to Respondent No. 4 to consider the grievance of the petitioner and to ensure that the due minimum wages are paid to the petitioner for the dates that he has worked ever since March, 2004 as claimed 2 less what he has been paid. Let the same be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order before Respondent No. 4. The writ application stands disposed off.
