This writ petition has been filed praying, inter alia, to direct the State-respondents to consider the case of petitioner for regularization on Class IV post of Chaukidar, as according to the writ petitioner, he is serving as Chaukidar from 1971 onwards on daily wage basis. 3. By filing the counter affidavit on behalf of the respondents, the Executive Engineer, Sone Canal Division, Marhawrah has indicated in paragraph 5 that petitioner did serve as seasonal 2 worker from the year 1972 until 2006. 4. Counsel for the petitioner states that presently he is not being given employment as seasonal worker also. 5. From paragraph 8 of the counter affidavit, it appears that petitioner is not required to be regularized in the light of the instruction of the State Government contained in Memo No. 1034 dated 29.5.2006, Annexure-A. From perusal of Annexure-A, it does not appear that the State Government has restrained the consideration of the case of the petitioner and other employees for grant of daily wage engagement as also regularization. 6. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the State respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for regularization/ grant of daily wage engagement considering his past experience in accordance with law within a reasonable time.
