IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1354 of 2010 KAMLESHWARI PRASAD YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02 27.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 4.10.2007 which classifies him as an illegal appointee, not eligible to be considered for regularization. The petitioner claims to have been appointed on a Class-IV post dated 12.6.1989 in the Directorate Land Acquisition, of Water Resources Department by the Director Land Acquisition. His services came to be terminated in 2002, when he approached this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 6832 of 2004. This Court disposed of the writ application for consideration of his claim for regularization in light of the judgment of the Supreme Court in Secretary, State of Karnataka and Others Versus Uma Devi (3) And Others reported in 2006 (4) SCC 1. Learned counsel for the petitioner next submits that a Bench of this Court in 2006 (3) PLJR 376 (Ram Tapeshwar Sah & Others versus State of Bihar & Others) had issued similar directions for regularization of daily wagers. The Supreme Court in (2010) 3 SCC 115 (State of Karnataka And Others Versus Ganpathi Chaya Nayak And Others) has succinctly explained that the case of Uma Devi (supra) has no application whatsoever to daily wage appointments. 2 In any event of the matter, the impugned order states that the appointment of the petitioner dated 12.6.1989 was contrary to law and illegal having been made notwithstanding the ban imposed on ad-hoc appointments by Letter No. 7639 dated 11.6.1986. There is no pleading in the writ application whatsoever disputing the recitals in the impugned order to even urge that there was no ban on the appointments by any order dated 11.6.1986. If the appointment was illegal, even according to paragraph 53 of Uma Devi (supra) the directions for regularization of those who may have worked for ten years, had no application to illegal appointments. There is no merit in this writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
