JUSTICE NAVANITI PRASAD SINGH ORAL ORDER Patna High Court CWJC No.5950 of 1997 (03) dt.09-10-2012 - 4 - 03 09-10-2012 By these writ petitions, the petitioners seek regularization of their services in Public Health Engineering Department, Government of Bihar. They claim that they were appointed on daily wages on various posts and had been sought to be terminated earlier which termination was set aside by this Court. Again notices for terminating them were issued which brought them to this Court. This Court granted status quo. Petitioners have averred that they were working all along. They have sought their regularization. It appears that similar action has been taken up by this Court in C.W.J.C. No.859 of 1997 (Kamlesh Nandan & others Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors. and other analogous cases) which has since been disposed of by a Bench of this Court by judgment and order dated

12.05.2011 where this Court has noticed that there are three categories of employees. The Court has further categorized the three and granted relief in each case in different terms. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and the State, in my view, the facts in the case of present writ petitions is similar to those cases. In fact, these cases were awaiting the final decision in those batches of writ petitions. Accordingly, both learned counsel for the State and the petitioners states that these writ petitions may be disposed of in terms of judgment and order passed in the case of Kamlesh Nandan & others Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors. and other analogous cases, being C.W.J.C. No.859 of 1997, disposed of on 12.05.2011. In case, any of the petitioners have already been regularized then they shall not be disturbed in any manner. Accordingly, these writ petitions are disposed of. Trivedi/- (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
