2. The supplementary counter affidavit of the State should also indicate as to why an appropriate order, in terms of the judgement passed by Hon'ble Supreme Court, which has been referred to in the rejoinder be not passed, considering the fact that the petitioners have claimed to have been working continuously since 1992/1997 and without any complaint and their requirement of work is of a permanent nature. The supplementary counter affidavit should also indicate as to whether treatment of the petitioners on daily wage basis at Rs.250/- per day for long years amounts to their exploitation.

3. At this, it has also been indicated by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the nature of work being performed by the petitioners are of vital importance dealing with the preparation of report with regard to settlement of land in the tribal area of Santhal Pargana.

4. Post this case on 20.03.2026.
