BARKAT ALI Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) D. K. Trivedi, J. In all these above mentioned writ petitions identical and common question of law is involved hence all these petitions are consolidated together and are decided by a common judgment.

(2.) THESE writ petitions were initially cognizable by the Single Judge and were listed before the Hon'ble Single Judge and it appears that the Hon'ble Single Judge passed an order and issued directions that the files of these writ petitions be put up before the Hon'ble Chief Justice for nominating a larger bench. In compliance of the order passed by the Hon'ble Single Judge, these writ petitions were put up before the Hon'ble Chief Justice and the Hon'ble Chief Jus tice directed that the matters be listed before this Division Bench.

(3.) IT is also pointed out that as regards the question of regularisation, the employees of the Irrigation Department filed a Writ Petition (Raj Narain Prasad and others v. State of U. P. and others), under Article 32 of the Constitution of India before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and the opposite parties submitted a scheme of regularisation in respect of work-charge employees before the Hon'ble Apex Court which was accepted. IT is also pointed out by the learned Stand ing Counsel that in compliance of the order passed by the Apex Court in the case of Raj Narain Prasad and others, the State Government issued a Government order dated 7-2-1997 and the department is proceeding in accordance with the said scheme. In these circumstances both these questions now stand already disposed of and to that extent those petitions have become infractuous, and the petitioners will also be governed by the Government order mentioned above.
