No. 272 of 2008 along with Delay Condonation Application No. 1427 of 2008, for condoning the delay in moving the aforesaid restoration application, for restoration of Writ Petition No. 147 of 2006 (S/S), which was dismissed for non- prosecution on 28.11.2006. Heard on the delay Condonation application. The delay has sufficiently been explained in the affidavit filed by the petitioner No. 1 Radhey Shyam. The delay condonation application is allowed. The delay is condoned. Also, restoration application is allowed on the condition that the Writ Petition No. 147 (S/S) of 2006 shall be heard today itself. Heard learned counsel for the parties on the writ petition. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have sought regularization of their services with the respondent department on the post of Compressor Operator. Admittedly, the petitioners were appointed on daily wages as labourers and regularized in that cadre. In view of principle of law laid down in The Secretary, State of Karnataka Vs. Uma Devi; reported in (2006) 4 Supreme Court Cases Pg. 01, this Court cannot direct the regularization of the petitioners on the posts not held by them in the cadre for which they were not selected through regular process of law. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed with the observation that the petitioners may make representation to the respondent concerned for redressal of their grievances. (P.C.P., J.) 25.03.2008 HN
