WPSS 6809A of 2001 (Old No. 41681/92) Hon’ble M.M. Ghildiyal, J. Heard Sri Rakesh Thapliyal, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri H.M. Raturi, learned Standing Counsel State of Uttarakhand for the respondents. The main prayer in the writ petition filed by the petitioners is for regularization of services in the department, who were actually working on the contract basis. Later on, the petitioners have moved an amendment application for amending the prayer. In the amendment application also, the main prayer is for regularization of the services. All the prayers are related to regularization of the petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioners has fairly conceded that the petitioners are not in service since long back. Further it is also not disputed that the department in which the petitioners were working is not in existence. In these circumstances, no order can be passed by this Court and further no prayer for regularization can be granted by this Court in view of the judgment passed by Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Secretary State of Karnataka Vs. Uma Devi, (2006) 4 SCC 1. The writ petition is dismissed. All the pending applications stand disposed of. (M.M.G., J.) 16.05.2007 VKS
