Bhatt, Advocates for the petitioners and Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. This is an application (MCC No. 83 of 2011) for recalling the order dated 19.2.2011, whereby the writ petition has been dismissed for want of prosecution. The reasons assigned for recalling the order dated 19.2.2011 appear to be just and bona fide. The order dated 19.2.2011 is allowed and the case is restored to its original number. Restoration Application (MCC No. 83 of 2011) is accordingly allowed. Sine the matter pertains to as far back as the year 1995, and the pleadings have been exchanged, with the consent of all the parties the matter is now decided finally. The petitioner is a union of Forest employees. They have filed this writ petition as far back as in the year 1995 in the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, mainly, praying that on the basis of the principle of “equal pay for equal work”, they may be given minimum pay scale, which is prescribed for Class IV post in the Forest Department. After the creation of the State of Uttarakhand, this writ petition stood transferred to this 2 Court under Section 35 of the U.P. Reorganisation Act, 2000. Daily rated Class IV employees of Forest Department have a chequered history inasmuch as a number of writ petitions were filed before the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad by such daily rated employees for regularisation, who were continuing as Class IV employees for a long period. The matter finally went to the Supreme Court, where it was finally disposed of with the directions that an scheme for regularization be framed for such employees. Pleadings have already been exchanged in this case. Today when the matter was being heard, a statement has been made by Mr. J.P. Joshi, Chief Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand that regularization rules have already been framed by the State of Uttarakhand, which are known as “Uttaranchal Forest Department Regularisation (On Group “D” Posts) of Daily Wages Appointments Rules, 2003”, which is regarding the regularisation of the daily rated employees of Forest Department. This writ petition is, therefore, disposed of with a direction to the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest to consider the case of the petitioner in the light of the observations of the Supreme Court as well as in the light of the regularization rules applicable in the State for the forest department employees. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 5.3.2011 Rathour
