CWP(T) No. 14213 of 2008 18.03.2011 Present: Ms. Meghna Kashava, Advocate vice Mr. M.L. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Vinod Thakur, Dy. Advocate General for the respondents/State. Petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs:- (i) To direct the respondents to regularize the services of the applicant on the post of Beldar w.e.f. the date he completed 8 years of service on daily wages with all consequential benefits with interest @ 12% per annum. (ii) In the alternative the applicant prays that in case regular post of Beldar is not available with the respondents, they may be directed to confer work charged status on him from the date of completion of 10 years of service on daily wages in accordance with the directions of the Hon’ble Apex Court contained in Mool Raj Upadhayay’s case with interest @ 12% per annum. 2. From the reply filed by the respondents it is quite evident that in the years 1996, 2002 and 2003 petitioner had not worked for more than 240 days preceding each English calendar year. Thus his prayer for regularization w.e.f. the year 1996 cannot be accepted. 3. For the years 2004, 2005 and 2006 the respondents themselves admitted that he has worked for more than 240 days in each calendar year. There is no other material on record to indicate that for the year 2007 onwards he has not worked for more than 240 days. The Government itself has come out with various policy decisions according work charged status/regularization for such persons who have completed more than eight years of continuous -2- service. Letter dated 9.6.2006 (Annexure R-II) is on record to this effect. 4. Consequently a direction is issued to the respondents to consider the petitioners case by taking into account the services rendered by him for the year 2004 onwards and accord benefit of the policy, if not already granted within a period of four months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. March 18, 2011 (PK)
