M/S MUZAFFARPUR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, MUZAFFARPUR THROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN 2. THE CHAIRMAN, MUZAFFARPUR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, MUZAFFARPUR …………………………………………………………………….RESPONDENTS ********** 3 25/11/2011 Heard Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that while the Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Muzaffarpur vide order dated 11.1.2007 held that the termination of the petitioners was bad and they were asked to be reinstated in service, refused to allow the petitioners any back wages. Counsel for the petitioners challenges only 2 that part of the order. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that although the petitioners may not be regular employees, they were working regularly on various posts without break up of service and it almost amounts to regular appointment. Having given consideration to the facts of this case, I came to the conclusion that the order of the Labour Court, Muzaffarpur is justified and the petitioners by virtue of the fact that they had not worked in the interim period, would not be entitled to back wages as they were casual workers of the Muzaffarpur Regional Development Authority. This writ application is accordingly dismissed. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
