Mr. H. M. Raturi, Learned Standing Counsel for the State. Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral) Heard Mr. Vikas Pande, Advocate for the petitioners, and Mr. H. M. Raturi, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners who have been working in Forest Department on daily rated basis. They have prayed that their services be regularized. This prayer cannot be granted to the petitioners in view of the law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in State of Karnataka & others V. Uma Devi (2006) 4 SCC 1. All the same, since special class of person has been carved out in the aforesaid judgment where employees who have worked for more than ten years may be considered, if there is a scheme available with the Government. This writ petition is therefore disposed of with the direction that in case there is a scheme available with the respondents for such regularization, then the petitioners may also be considered. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 03.08.2011 Avneet
