¶26

relief of regularization of their services on the plea that Jawed Anwar and eight others and rest mentioned in paragraph no.9 of the writ petition, all together twenty two persons having been regularized in the services of Purnea Nagar Nigam. Though they were working alongwith the petitioners but petitioners have not been regularized.

¶27

Short facts of this case are that Jawed Anwar and eight others were regularized as they have approached this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 10206 of 2011 making a prayer that they have been working since long, they should be regularized.

¶28

In pursuance of the order passed by this Court they have been regularized in service. One Manoj Roy who was also in the same status of daily wages worker has approached this Court vide C.W.J.C. No.25058 of 2013 (Annexure F to the counter affidavit), but the plea of Manoj Roy was not accepted rather direction was given to remove Javed Anwar and eight others from the service.

¶29

In pursuance thereof, their services were terminated, but they approached this Court in L.P.A. No. 1019 of 2014 and the order of the Learned Single Judge was set aside on the ground of failure to provide hearing to Javed Anwar and others.

¶33

course Jawed Anwar and twenty one other persons whose names have been mentioned in paragraph no.9 of the writ petition have been regularized in service.

¶34

Now two courses have been left in the Purnea Nagar Nigam. Either Purnea Nagar Nigam should remove Jawed Anwar and others after due notice to them on consideration of their show cause or alternative course is that these petitioners who are also similarly situated persons should also be given same benefits of regularization.

¶35

The whole process should be completed within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.

¶36

With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition is disposed of.
