Prabhakar Mishra, v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court, L.P.A No.495 of 2019, decided 13-05-2025 (P.B. Bajanthri & S.B. Pd. Singh, JJ.): claim of 8 ad-hoc/daily-wage appellants for absorption/regularization (appointed 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988; terminated 31.07.1989; reappointed 11.10.1990; terminated 16.10.1996) against the State of Bihar and Bihar School Examination Board; rejected relying on Uma Devi (2006) 4 SCC 1; termination order dated 16.10.1996 not challenged; Single Judge order dated 27.02.2019 in CWJC No. 5899 of 2011 left undisturbed; LPA dismissed; pending I.A.s disposed of.
What did the court decide?
The appellants do not fulfil the conditions stipulated in Secretary, State of Karnataka v. Uma Devi, (2006) 4 SCC 1 (in service on the date of that judgment with 10 years' service; continuation by virtue of interim relief does not entitle); therefore no interference with the learned Single Judge's order dated 27.02.2019 in CWJC No. 5899 of 2011 is called for, and the question of their absorption/regularization is not warranted.
