IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH SHIMLA CWP(T) No. 15332 of 2008. Date of Decision: 10.3.2011. Puran Chand …Petitioner Versus. State of H.P. and others … Respondents. Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, Judge. Whether approved for Reporting? No. For the petitioner: Mr. Rakesh Dogra, Advocate vice Mr. Amandeep Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents: Mr. Vivek Thakur, Addl. A.G. Deepak Gupta, J.(Oral). The main relief claimed in this petition is that in terms of the judgment rendered in Mool Raj Upadhyaya Vs. State of HP & Ors, 1994 Supp (2) Supreme Court Cases 316, the petitioner was entitled to be regularized w.e.f. 1.1. 1999. Admitted facts are that the petitioner was engaged on daily wage basis and worked regularly for more than 240 days in a calendar year from the year 1990 onwards. The State along with its reply has filed the Mandays Chart and this clearly shows that from the year 2 1990 onwards the petitioner has completed more than 240 days in each year. Therefore he is entitled to the benefit of the scheme framed in Mool Raj Upadhyaya’s case and he should have been granted work charged status w.e.f. 1.1.2000 instead of 5.12.2002. However the petitioner approached this court only in the year 2007 and cannot be given benefit of back wages for this period and he shall be deemed to be a work charged employee w.e.f. 1.1.2000 for all other purposes. Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. 10th March, 2011. ( Deepak Gupta ) (Krn Guleria) Judge.
