In this view of the matter, it is argued that since the order impugned has been passed by the Regularization Committee in violation of the law laid down by this Court in the case of Vinod Kumar Srivastava (Supra) as well as the Government Order, the same should be quashed. It is argued that though the petitioner is working continuously but his salary is not being paid. 6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 7. While going through the order dated 30.04.2024, the Court is of the prima facie opinion that neither any opportunity of hearing has been provided to the petitioner nor the Management Committee of the Institution was directed to provide necessary documents which are needed for consideration of regularization of the petitioner. 8. This fact is also admitted by the learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents. 9. In this view of the matter, the order dated 30.04.2024 passed by the Respondent No.2 is liable to be set aside and is hereby set aside. Respondent No.2 is directed to pass a fresh order strictly in accordance with law, specially in terms of the direction given by this Court in the case of Vinod Kumar Srivastava (Supra) as well as Government Order dated 04.10.2024 within a period of three months from the date of presentation of certified copy of this order. 10. It is made clear that since the petitioner is working continuously, he shall be entitled for his salary till his claim is decided afresh. 11. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is allowed. Order Date :- 28.7.2025 Asha (Chandra Dhari Singh,J.) Digitally signed by :- ASHA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
