IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13827 of 2006 SRI BALMIKI PRASAD SINGH @ BALMIKI SINGH Versus BIHAR STATE SUGAR CORPORATION LTD.&ORS ----------- 3 29.8.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner is seeking regularization under the respondent Bihar State Sugar Corporation Limited. His claim is that he was appointed on the post of Watchman which is an unskilled grade on temporary basis way back 1992. He has worked in that capacity as a seasonal worker (watchman). Some recommendations had also been made in his favour but those recommendations related to the year, 1999. Any direction upon the respondents would be a futile direction by this Court because as of today the Bihar State Sugar Corporation only notionally exists on paper and for every practical purpose has become defunct. It is not known whether a petition for winding up has been filed or being filed by the Corporation under which the petitioner is seeking regularization. As of today the Corporation has no work, no functional unit and even the so called employees existing on its roll are not getting salary for years together. In that view of the matter as well as in the light of the recent Constitution Bench decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court rendered in the case of Secretary, State of Karnatka & Ors. vrs. Uma Devi & Ors. reported in 2006 PLJR (2) 363 no direction for regularization can be issued in favour of the petitioner. This writ application is dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
