IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5083 of 2004 SHRI RAM SINGH & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS -------- 03/ 23.07.2010 Petitioners admittedly are seasonal workers working in various Divisions of the Water Resources Department, Government of Bihar. They want regularization. Learned senior counsel representating petitioners very fairly submits that law and the view of the courts have undergone a change over a period of time. Therefore, absolute categorical direction for their regularization in their favour may not be passed. Learned senior counsel further submits that the State Government had formulated a scheme for regularization which is dated 04.05.2005 and the same applies to persons working on daily wages till 11.12.1990 as Government fixed the cut off date for consideration. Counsel representating the State has two submissions. Firstly the petitioners being seasonal worker may not be entitled to application of such scheme for regularization. As it is, there was excess hands and their services had to be done away in the sense that they were not utilized by the State after a time frame. Since the issue of regularization and applicability of the scheme dated 04.05.2005 is not to be decided by this court at this stage, the court in its wisdom asks the Government to indicate their opinion to the petitioners if petitioners lodge a claim on the basis of such circular. The writ application stands disposed of with the observations as above. shahid (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
