RESPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 07.01.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner’s prayer is for a direction to the concerned respondents to absorb the petitioner on Class IV post in the Health Department since he worked on that post for a period starting from 5.1.2001 to 31.12.2001. Considering the fact that petitioner was never regularly appointed, no such direction can be issued considering the decision of the Apex Court in State of Karnatka Vs. Uma Devi. This application is dismissed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
