USMAN KHAN Vs. SALES TAX OFFICER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) VINEET Saran, J. Since in these writ petitions common questions of law and fact arise, they are being decided by a common judgment.

(2.) THESE writ petitions have been filed with a prayer for direction to the respondents to get the services of the petitioners regularized as Class IV employee and appoint them on the post of peon. A further direction has been prayed for payment of their salary.

(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the petitioner has not been able to produce any document to show that the petitioner was ever appointed on daily wages or that he had even worked regularly since the year 1978 as has been stated in the writ petition. The only annexure filed with the writ petition is a copy of the representation made on his behalf. It has nowhere been stated in the writ petition as to what salary or wages were being paid to the petitioner from the year 1978 till the date he alleges to have worked. Only vague averments have been made that he has worked for the 18 years and his salary has been stopped from December, 1996. In the absence of any categorical averment made or proof given with regard to his employment/engagement or even regarding specific amount of salary or wages which were being paid to the petitioner, the same cannot be relied upon.
