JAIRAM Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD counsel for the parties.

(2.) THESE writ petitioners had earlier approached this Court in WPS No. 1041/2012 with a prayer to direct the respondents to grant them minimum scale of pay for the period they had worked as daily wage employees under the respondent department before their services were regularized.

(3.) COUNSEL for the petitioners submits that the prayer has been rejected on the ground that the respondent State had chosen to assail the judgment rendered in WPS No. 700/2009 in letters patent appeal. Apart from that, a plea was taken that these persons have been paid their daily wages for the relevant periods in which they had earlier worked. Counsel for the petitioners submits that the letters patent appeal being LPA No. 130/2012 preferred by the State against the said judgment in the case of Nand Kishore Rai (Supra) has been dismissed by order dated 05th July 2012.
