(1.) Appellant has filed this appeal against the order dated 24.10.2011 passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No.7062 of 2011 (S).
(2.) The appellant was engaged in the forest department on daily wage basis in the year 1981. He had been paid salary on monthly basis. As per appellant, he had been performing the work of Chowkidar and Coupe Guard. Appellant retired from service after completing 30 years of service. The appellant challenged the aforesaid order of retirement in a writ petition contending that he is eligible to continue in service up to the age of 58 years in accordance with clause 14-A of Standard Standing Orders (hereinafter called the "SSO"). Hence, his retirement after completing 30 years of service is arbitrary and illegal.
(3.) The learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petition after holding that the appellant was working as a daily wager and there were no rules in the department in regard to daily wager employees, hence, appellant has no legal right to continue in service up to the particular age.
