Patna High Court (Harish Kumar, J.), Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.5505 of 2024, decided 11-11-2025. Petitioner, working as Peon on daily wages in Purnea College, Purnea with effect from 01.10.1999 in terms of letter no. PR/292/1992 dated 01.10.1992, complained that his case had never been considered for regularization. Relying on an order of a Division Bench of the same Court in C.W.J.C. No. 9411 of 2022, where identically situated employees working on vacant and sanctioned posts were afforded consideration for regularization and a direction to seek remedy by representation, the petitioner sought identical relief. The State and the University refuted the claim but did not confront the Division Bench order. Taking a lenient view, the Court disposed of the writ petition with liberty to the petitioner to file a detailed representation before respondent nos. 4 and 6 (Vice-Chancellor and Registrar, Purnea University) along with the order in C.W.J.C. No. 9411 of 2022; the concerned respondent was to consider and dispose of the representation in accordance with law.

The grievance of the petitioner is in limited bound

¶20

to the extent that despite having been rendering service for so many years and to be more specific with effect from 01.10.1999 on the post of Peon on daily wages, in terms with letter no. PR/292/1992 dated 01.10.1992 in Purnea College, Purnea, but his case has never been considered for regularization till date.

¶21

Referring to an order passed by a Division Bench of this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 9411 of 2022, it is submitted that identically situated persons have approached this Court, who

had been working on vacant and sanctioned post since their date of initial appointment, nonetheless their cases were considered for regularization by the University, whereupon the Court has directed the petitioner to file a representation before the Registrar of the concerned University to consider the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law. The petitioner also sought identical relief.

¶24

The claim of the petitioners though refuted by learned Advocate for the State and the University, however, they did not confront with the order passed by the learned Division Bench.

¶25

Having considered the limited grievance of the petitioner, this Court taking a lenient view deems it fit and proper to dispose off the writ petition with a liberty to the petitioner to approach before the respondent nos. 4 and 6 by filing a detailed representation. In case such a representation is passed alongwith the order of this Court passed in C.W.J.C. No. 9411 of 2022, the concerned respondent shall consider and dispose off the same, in accordance with law.

¶26

The writ petition stands disposed off.
