The Executive Engineer, Water Resources Department (Irrigation) Quality Control Division, Deoghar. ..... Respondents. 05- 12.08.2009 None appears on behalf of the appellant. Heard Mr. Shashi Bhushan Kumar, learned Standing Counsel No.16. This appeal under clause 10 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Patna has been preferred by the petitioner of C.W.J.C. No.2765 of 1997 (Anil Kumar Sharma Vs. State of Bihar and others), which was dismissed by a learned Single Judge of this Court by order dated 7.9.2000. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of the 2 learned Standing Counsel. It appears that the appellant was appointed as Typist on a daily- wage way back in 1982, and was posted at Deoghar. With the passage of time, his services were dispensed with leading to the said C.W.J.C.No.2765 of 1997. At an early stage of the writ proceeding, it was directed that the same shall abide the decision in C.W.J.C. No.2167 of 1995 (Sri Bishundeo Mandal and others Vs. The State of Bihar and other), which raised similar issues. The same was dismissed by judgment dated 24.12.1998 (Annexure-1). The learned Single Judge has dismissed the present C.W.J.C. No.2765 of 1997 on the ground that it is covered by the judgment in the said C.W.J.C. No.2167 of 1995. 3. It appears to us that the appellant's entry into service was on daily- wage which does not create any right at all for regularization. Secondly, it was undoubtedly a back-door entry without advertisement and notice to the public at large. Law is well settled that public employment in this country is a national wealth and all appointments to such government offices have to be made after 3 advertisement of the post and wide publicity so that all eligible candidates have the opportunity to apply for consideration. In the absence of such a measure in the present case, we are of the view that the appellant’s appointment on daily-wage was grossly illegal and cannot be countenanced. 4. In that view of the matter, we do not find any merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. (S K Katriar, J.) (Jyoti Saran, J.) S.K.Pathak/
