What the court decided
W.P.(C) 1675 OF 2002
09.11.2016 Heard Mr. N.K. Barik, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. D. Nayak, learned counse
l for opposite party no.2 and Mr. J. Nayak, learned Addl. Government Advocate.
The petitioner has filed this application seeking for a direction to the opposite part
ies to regularize the service of petitioner in the post of Sr. Driver and grant regular scale
of pay as admissible to him in accordance with law.
Mr. D. Nayak, learned counsel for opposite party no.2 on instruction submits that the pe
titioner has already left the job since long and as such, he is no more in service, therefore
the question of regularization does not arise.
Considering the contention raised by learned counsel for the parties since the petitione
r has already left the job, question of regularization does not arise. Since learned counsel f
or the petitioner has no instruction in the matter, this Court is not inclined to entertain th
is application. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner
to approach the appropriate forum ventilating his grievance, if any cause of action still surv
ives.
