As common issues are involved in the captioned petitions, with the consent of both sides, the same are hereby disposed of by this common order. For the sake of brevity and convenience, facts are borrowed from CWP-19168-2025. 2. The petitioner(s) through instant petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India is seeking direction to respondent to PRINCE CHAWLA 2025.07.11 18:17 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CWP-19168-2025 and CWP-19172-2025 -2- regularize him as Shift Attendant in view of State Government Policies and judgment of Supreme Court in the case of ‘Jaggo Vs. Union of India and Others’, 2024 SCC OnLine SC 3826. 3. On the asking of Court, Mr. Ravi Sharma, Advocate conceded that no petition seeking regularization was filed during service tenure, however, he submits that Supreme Court vide judgment dated 20.12.2024 has granted benefits to many persons, thus, petitioner should be retrospectively regularized. 4. The petitioner was appointed on contract basis. He has no absolute or fundamental right to claim regularization. He as per his convenience remained dormant during his service. He did not think it appropriate to seek regularization. He has filed instant petition after his retirement. The relation between petitioner and employer has snapped. There seems no reason to invoke writ jurisdiction at this belated stage. 5. In the backdrop, the instant petitions deserve to be dismissed and accordingly dismissed.
