BISHWANATH PRASAD SAH Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD counsel for the parties.

(2.) THE petitioner's grievance is that he has been engaged as Waterman by the School Management since the year 1983 and despite the fact that since the date of his initial engagement his services have been continuously taken, his services have not been regularized by his appointment to the sanctioned vacant post.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner informs at this juncture that as a matter of fact another employee namely Sri Dhaneshwar Ram, who was also initially employed as a Peon on the substantive post in the same school where the petitioner's services are being engaged, has now been absorbed in the office of Chief Engineer, Water Resources Department creating thereby a vacancy in the school itself and another Peon Banshi Singh, who was also employed in the same school, has died and a vacancy has also been created upon his death and though the respondents ought to have taken proper steps for regularization and absorption of the petitioner against the sanctioned post. Learned counsel adds that the above claim as made by the petitioner even in the writ application has not been denied by the respondents in the counter affidavit.
