CWP(T) No. 3176/2008 (OA 805/96) The petitioner was engaged on part-time basis as Chowkidar in H.P. Forest Guest House Lalaun (Mandhana) in April, 1972. He is working as such since then. In the present petition he is seeking regularization of his services as Chowkidar, keeping in view the decision rendered by the Apex Court in Shri Mool Raj Upadhyaya versus State of Himachal Pradesh and Ors., 1994(2) SLR 377. In the reply the State has clarified that there is no regular post of Chowkidar in the Inspection Hut where the services of the petitioner were availed on part-time basis. However, Mr. R.K. Sharma, learned Senior Addl. Advocate General states that the Government has formulated a scheme and in terms of the said scheme even part-time workers are being observed as daily rated and then according to their seniority and turn are being regularized. In the absence of any regular post the prayer of the petitioner cannot be allowed. But, however, keeping in view the fact that the State has now formulated a scheme the services of the petitioner shall be regularized in accordance thereof. -2- With the aforesaid observations the present petition is disposed of.
