The Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench (deleted) --- Respondents. --------- 4. 27.4.2010 Heard Ms. Ratna Das for the petitioner, and Mr. Binay Kumar Pandey for the respondents. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 21.4.2005 (Annexure-1), passed by the learned Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, in O.A. No. 843 of 2003 (Bhushan Ram Vs. The Union of India & Ors.), whereby the original application preferred by the present petitioner has been dismissed. The petitioner was engaged as a part-time casual labourer by the Department of Central Excise and Customs. He worked as such for 18-20 years. He moved the department for grant of temporary status under “Casual Labourers (Grant of Temporary 2 Status and Regularization) Scheme, 1993, but no relief was granted. He, therefore, preferred the previous O.A. No. 335 of 1990, which was rejected by the Patna Bench vide order dated 25.1.1991 (Annexure-8). The petitioner thereafter made an other attempt before the Tribunal by preferring the present O.A. No. 843 of 2003, which has been rejected. Learned Tribunal has noted that the Supreme Court in its judgment reported in 1998 SCC (L & S) 119, Secretary, Ministry of Communication and Ors. Vs. Sakkubai & another, has laid down that part-time casual labourers are not covered by the said Scheme of 1993. We agree with the same. The writ petition is dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K.
