2024 (4) TMI 600 - MADHYA PRADESH HIGH COURTRegularization of petitioners who had served as casual/daily wage workers for a period of more than 10 years when decision in Uma Devi was pronounced by Apex Court [2006 (4) TMI 456 - SUPREME COURT] - Reason for Tribunal's disinclination to grant relief was that no material could be brought on record to establish that appointment of petitioners was not illegal but merely irregular. HELD THAT:- It is not dispute at the Bar by learned counsel for employer that the petitioners are equally situated as Ravi Verma & Ors [supra] for having completed more than 10 years of casual/daily wage services on the date 10.04.2006 when decision in Uma Devi was pronounced by Apex Court [2006 (4) TMI 456 - SUPREME COURT]. It is also not disputed by the learned counsel for employer that the petitioners herein were also appointed in similar manner as the case of Ravi Verma & Ors. and thus their appointments were not illegal but merely irregular and, therefore this Court is of the considered view that the benefit flowing from the decision of Uma Devi specially the directions in paragraph 53 of the said judgment squarely apply to the petitioners who are thus entitled to the same relief as extended by the Apex Court to Ravi Verma & Ors. The period of 10 years which was pre-requisite for consideration for regularization as one time measure vide para 53 of Apex Court decision in Uma Devi, has been completed by all the petitioners herein. Therefore, the case of the petitioners is identical to the case of Ravi Verma and Ors. Accordingly, the objection raised by Shri Gopi Chourasia - Advocate on behalf of appellant stands rejected.
