Respondents (Cause title is taken from Case Information System) SOURABH BHILWAR Digitally signed by SOURABH BHILWAR Date: 2025.03.21 11:02:25 +0530 2 / 3 For Petitioner : Mr. Abdul Moin Khan, Advocate For Respondents/ State : Mr. Sabyasachi Choubey, Panel Lawyer (HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE BIBHU DATTA GURU) Order on Board 20/03/2025 1. By the present petition, the petitioner is challenging the inaction on the part of the respondents by which they are discontinuing the services of the petitioner. 2. According to the counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner was working as daily wage employee under the respondent authorities however, all of a sudden, the services of the petitioner was discontinued. 3. Today when the matter is taken up for hearing, counsel for the petitioner submits that as per the knowledge there is availability of work in the department and they are also in need of daily wage employees, however, ignoring the claim of the petitioner for said work, they are appointing third persons against the said post. 4. The only prayer that the petitioner makes at this juncture is that, if at all, if the respondents intend to engage daily wage workers, let the petitioner be given some preferential right and to be continued instead of appointing fresh personnel. The respondents be directed to take work from the petitioner considering his experience and the length of service rendered by him. 5. Given the said grievance that the petitioner has, the writ petition, at this juncture, is disposed of directing the respondents No.2 to 4 to look into the grievance of the petitioner and try to redress the 3 / 3 same as far as possible by reengaging the petitioner, if at all if the State or the respondents intend to get work from the daily wage workers. Under such circumstances, the petitioner be given due weightage for the services that he had already rendered in the past. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of.
