CWP(T) No.7817 of 2008 23.04.2009 Present: Mr. R.K. Gautam, Senior Advocate with Ms. Archana Dutt, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr.Vikas Rathore, Deputy Advocate General for the respondents. The petitioner was appointed as Progney-cum- Demonstration Orchard, Saloha in the year 1965. He left the job in the year 1968. He was re-engaged in the month of December 1978. He discharged his duties uninterruptedly from 1978 to 20.3. 2001. He was required to be regularized as per the policy framed by the State Government itself on the basis of the judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court in “Mool Raj Upadhayaya’s” case. There is no justification in the reply, why the petitioner who had rendered service for 23 years has not been regularized. It is not disputed by the learned Senior Additional Advocate General that the period on the basis of which policy framed by the State for regularization was initiatlly for ten years, which was subsequently reduced to eight years. The petitioner had worked from 1978 to 20.3.2001 continuously. In these circumstances his case was required to be considered for regularization immediately after he had completed ten years of service. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed, the respondents are directed to consider the case of petitioner for regularization immediately after completion of ten years service with all consequential benefits. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. April 23, 2009. (rkv)
