¶166

ORDER

¶167

This captioned petition is filed by the petitioners who have been working as daily wagers in various local bodies namely Town Panchayat, City Municipal Council, Town Municipal Council. These petitioners have knocked the door of this Court alleging that there is inaction on the part of the respondents in not considering their representation submitted, seeking regularization of their service in the light of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of State of Karnataka vs. Umadevi¹ .

¶168

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Advocate General.

¶171

NC: 2024:KHC:11662 WP No. 2410 of 2024

¶172

Learned counsel for the petitioners has placed reliance on the direction issued by the Co-ordinate Bench in respect of identically placed daily wagers working in local bodies.

¶173

Per contra , the learned Additional Advocate General would take this Court to the appointment details furnished by the petitioners at Annexure-J. He would bring to the notice of this Court that only few candidates have completed ten years. It is stated that most of the petitioners have not completed ten years of service as per

¶174

cut off date indicated in Umadevi's case ( supra) i.e., 10.04.2006. Therefore, he would contend that authority will examine the petitioners case taking note of the completion of ten years of service in the light of dictum laid down in the case of Umadevi (supra).

¶175

Heard the counsel on records. Perused the similar directions issued by this Court.

¶176

Petitioners who are serving as daily wagers in local bodies have submitted representation seeking

¶177

20 - NC: 2024:KHC:11662 WP No. 2410 of 2024

¶178

regularization of their service. The Director of Municipal

¶179

Administration and concerned district Deputy Commissioners shall examine and consider the representation in accordance with the principles established by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Umadevi (supra) . If the daily wagers meet out the requisite eligibility indicated by the Apex Court in the case of Umadevi (supra) , they are legally entitled for regularization of their service. Equally, the respondent authorities are bound to consider the petitioners eligibility of those who have completed ten years of service without intervention of Court order, for regularization. Since there is total inaction on the part of the respondent authorities in not considering the representation, this Court is of the view that this is a fit case, where a direction requires to be issued to the respondent authorities to decide the representation submitted to them.

¶180

For the forgoing reasons this Court proceeds to pass the following:
