IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10844 of 1996 VINOD KUMAR VERMA & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 7 16/11/2010 Petitioners are claiming for being regularized in the various Class III and IV posts on which they are working under Bettiah Estate. Since they have not been regularized they filed the present writ application seeking direction upon the State of Bihar to regularize them or absorb them in service instead of being made to work on daily wages basis. The Court fails to understand the basis on which such a claim is being made because engagement of employees by Bettiah Estate is not the responsibility of the State Government. Admitted legal position is that Bettiah Estate is under the Court of Wards and it does not have anything to do with the State Government as such. Merely because a Member Board of Revenue has now been appointed to look after the affairs of the Estate, the Estate by itself does not become a limb of the State. No direction can be issued for regularization of services of those persons who have been engaged by the Court of - 2 - Wards of Bettiah Estate. It is an ill advised writ application without verifying the actual legal position on this issue. This writ application is misplaced and being devoid of merit is dismissed.
