The Secretary, Department of Secondary, Primary and Public Education Department, New Secretariat, Patna. 3. The Director Adult, Non-formal and Public Education Department, New Secretariat, Patna. 4. The District Adult, Non-formal and Public Education Officer, Patna. ------------ Respondents. ----------- 2 16 7.11.2008 On 18.8.2008 Mr. Pramod Mishra has taken time from this Court for arguing the matter but today nobody appears on behalf of the petitioners. The petitioners are claiming absorption/regularization of their services on class III vacant and sanctioned posts in the Non Formal Education. The petitioners were appointed as Non-Formal Educational Supervisor with honorarium of Rs. 600/-. It is the claim of the petitioners that they should be regularized or be given equal pay for equal work. The question of regularization has now been decided by the Apex Court in the case of Uma Devi and as such the petitioners cannot claim for regularization as a matter of right, especially if they were appointed under a scheme on purely temporary basis. There is not merit in this writ application and it stands dismissed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
