Heard. SIDDHANT TAMRAKAR Digitally signed by SIDDHANT TAMRAKAR Date: 2025.03.18 14:19:13 +0530 2 2. Grievance of the petitioners, as ventilated through this petition is that even though the petitioners are continuing as daily rated employees since long, but their claim for regularization has not been considered yet. It is submitted that the services of petitioners were terminated in the year 2010, and thereafter, award of reinstatement was passed in their favour by the Labour Court in the year 2014 in service from the initial date of appointment in the year 2005. 3. If the case of the petitioners are considered treating his initial date of appointment as in the year 2005, they would be entitled to be considered for regularization under circular dated 05/03/2008 issued for consideration of cases of regularization pursuant to direction of the Supreme Court in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and others Vs. Uma Devi (3) and others, 2006 (4) SCC 1 for consideration of cases of those, who have completed 10 years of service. 4. After going through the records and orders passed by the Labour Court, it is quite vivid that the effect of the order would be that the petitioners shall be deemed to be in service without any break. This would entitle the petitioners for due consideration for regularization under circular dated 05/03/2008. It is ordered accordingly. 5. Let the case of the petitioners be considered by a duly constituted committee as per policy dated 05/03/2008 and a decision be taken within an outer limit of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
