Mr. Nawal Kishore Singh, Advocate. Mr. Onkar Kumar, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Sanjay Kumar Sinha, S.C.-13. For Respondent Nos. 4,5 and 6 : Mr. Pravina Kumari (Rai), Advocate. ==== 3. 29.01.2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, State and the counsel for the Bhagalpur Municipal Corporation. (hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”). - 3 - 2. Petitioner Nos. 1 to 35 are serving in the Corporation as Sweepers and Petitioner Nos. 36 to 39 are serving in the Corporation as Tractor Drivers which is engaged in the carriage of the night soil and the other dirt which is thrown on the streets of the city. From Annexure-7 it appears that petitioners are serving in the Corporation with effect from 1998, 2000. They have filed this writ application for a direction to the Corporation to consider their request for regularization as has been stated in their representation dated 20.6.2007, Annexure-5 which is addressed to the Executive Officer of the Corporation. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that on account of failure to regularize their services they are suffering as they are being paid daily wages for six days in a week excluding Sundays in every month. 4. Having heard counsel for the parties I am of the view that before any final order is passed by this Court it is expedient to direct the Corporation to consider the case of the petitioners for regularization in the light of their request contained in representation dated 20.6.2007, Annexure- 5. Until they are considered for regularization the Corporation authorities are directed to pay them wages as per the notification of the Labour Department of the State Government. The representation dated 20.6.2007, Annexure-5 be considered and disposed of by the Corporation authorities as early as possible, in any case within a period of two months of the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. With the aforesaid direction, this writ application is disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
