Inder Yadav v. State of Jharkhand
Case brief
What is this about?
Jharkhand High Court writ petition (W.P. (S) No. 1483 of 2022, decided 10.09.2024) concerning a forest department daily-wage watcher (planter care) of Hunterganj, Chatra, removed from service w.e.f. 01.04.2021; issues of reinstatement of casual daily wager engaged without appointment against any vacant sanctioned post, and claim for four months' unpaid remuneration; result: writ petition dismissed, pending I.A. disposed; parties: Inder Yadav v. State of Jharkhand and forest officials (Principal Secretary, PCCF, DFO and RFO Hunterganj); bench: Justice Ambuj Nath; no statutory provisions or precedents invoked.
What did the court decide?
As the petitioner worked as a daily wager against a non-vacant sanctioned post (casual engagement, not against any vacant sanctioned post), no case is made out for directing the respondents to reinstate him as a daily wager.
