It is the case of the petitioners that respondent no. 4/ Uttarakhand Purva Sainik Kalyan Nigam Ltd (“UPNL”) deployed them for working in various prisons of the State of Uttarakhand on the position of Assistant Accountant.

At the very outset, the Court wanted to know as to how it is a case for regularization? Whether the petitioners are entitle to regularization as per Rules? 2 5. The answer is in negative. But, learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that since the petitioners have been working for a long, therefore, some weightage should be given for the services rendered by them. 6. The Court wanted to know as to under what provisions of law they should get weightage? 7. Learned counsel for the petitioners replies that there are no such Rules. 8 The petitioners have been working for some time on outsource basis.

There is no reason to make any intervention in this petition and the petition deserves to be dismissed at the stage of admission itself. 10. The petition is dismissed in limine.
