IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.358 of 2008 BRAJ BHUSHAN MISHRA & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3/ 17/11/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. No one appears on behalf of the respondents. A counter affidavit has been filed. This Court has gone through the averments made therein. The matter relates to the date of regularization of the petitioners in the regular establishment from the work-charge establishment when they were initially brought in as daily wage employees. They were sought to be reverted to the daily wage status when they came to this Court in C.W.J.C. No.13603/02 disposed on 13.7.2006 along with a batch of analogous applications led by C.W.J.C. No.7369/02. The petitioners have now been regularized in the regular establishment by order dated 1.12.2006. Their specific grievance in paragraph-19 of the writ application reiterated in certain other paragraphs also is of discrimination in induction into the regular establishment when persons junior to them in the work-charge establishment have been regularized from an earlier date. 2 The counter affidavit in paragraph-26 while dealing with paragraph-19 of the writ application states that it requires no comment. The writ application is, therefore, disposed with the direction to the respondents to examine the grievance of the petitioners and grant them regularization from the same date that their juniors may have been granted such regularization with all consequential benefits. It shall be open for the petitioners to file a fresh representation along with a copy of the present order giving details of such juniors. The respondents shall then be required to pass a reasoned and speaking order should they propose to deny relief to the petitioners disclosing full facts and figures so that judicial review of their order is facilitated on the next occasion, should the need arise. Let this exercise be carried within a maximum period of five months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order along with such proposed representation. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
