BEFORE
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KAUSHIK GOSWAMI
ORDER
04.08.2025
Heard Mr. J. Sarmah, learned counsel for the petitioners in WP(C) No.
1576/2020. However, there is no appearance on behalf of the petitioners in
WP(C) No. 5188/2020 and WP(C) No. 5056/2019, despite the names of the
three counsels being reflected in the cause list and having being called twice
before this Court. Also heard Mr. R.R. Gogoi, learned Standing Counsel, Forest
Department.
2. The issue involved in these writ petitions being identical, all the writ
petitions are taken up together for final disposal by this common order.
3. The claim of the petitioners is that they have been working as casual
workers prior to 01.04.1993 in various divisions of the Department of
Environment & Forest under the Government of Assam. Although the process of
regularization of casual workers was undertaken in the year 2008, but due to
Page No.# 39/40
posting of the petitioners in remote areas, their cases were not considered for
regularization. Such being the position, the petitioners have filed the writ
petition seeking their regularization and service.
4. Mr. J. Sarmah, learned counsel for the petitioners in WP(C) No. 1576/2020
fairly submits that after the judgment was rendered by the Division Bench of
this Court in the case of State of Assam Vs. Upen Das reported in 2017 (4)
GLR 493, the petitioners cannot claim regularization of their services, but they
can be considered for grant of minimum pay scale in terms of paragraph No. 22
of the said judgment.
5. Mr. R.R. Gogoi, learned Standing Counsel, Forest Department submits that
even for extending such benefit, the respondent authorities concerned should
be given liberty to verify the case of each individual in order to see as to
whether they are eligible to be considered to be given the minimum pay scale.
He further submits that such consideration can be done by the committee
constituted by the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest.
6. Upon hearing the learned counsels for the parties, this writ petitions are
being disposed of with a direction to the respondents to place the case of the
writ petitioners before the constituted committee for verification and scrutiny.
7. In the event, the petitioners are found to be entitled to be given the
minimum scale of pay, the same should be given expeditiously. The entire
process should be initiated and completed within a period of 3 (three) months
from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
8. Accordingly, the writ petitions stands disposed of.
