IN THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH
AT GWALIOR
WP No. 26977 of 2022
(ANIL Vs THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH AND OTHERS)
Dated : 02-12-2022
Mr. Ankur Maheshwari, Advocate for the petitioner.
Mr. S.K. Sharma, Government Advocate for the State.
This petition has been filed against the order dated 30.09.2022 by which
the service of the petitioner has been discontinued on the ground that he has
already completed five years of service as daily wager.
The petitioner has relied upon a resolution passed by MIC (Annexure P-
1) according to which, it was resolved that the service of daily wagers may be
regularized. However, no order has been passed in this regard.
There is nothing in the writ petition to show that the appointment of
petitioner was legal and not illegal. In the light of the judgment passed by
Supreme Court in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and others vs.
Uma Devi (3) and others, reported in (2006) 4 SCC 1 nothing has been
placed on record to show that the services of the petitioner can be regularized.
Petitioner cannot be given the benefit of Viniyamitikaran. As per
Viniyamitikaran scheme of the State Government, daily wagers who are working
from 15.05.2007 and are still in service on 01.07.2016 were entitled for the
benefit of Viniyamitikaran scheme. Since the petitioner is not covered by the
said clause, therefore, his case cannot be considered under the Viniyamitikaran
scheme.
Also it is next contended by the counsel for the petitioner that since the
petitioner has already completed continuous service of 240 days in a calendar
year, therefore, his service could not be terminated without making payment of

retrenchment compensation.
The submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner appears to
be attractive but it involves disputed questions of fact. Accordingly, the
petitioner has remedy to approach the labour Court for challenging the order
dated 30.09.2022.
At this stage, it is submitted by counsel for the petitioner that since the
Municipal Corporation, Morena is in need of Safaikarmchari, therefore, they
may issue fresh advertisement for recruitment of safaikarmcharis and in case, if
such an advertisement is issued then the Municipal Corporation, Morena be
directed to give preference to the petitioner.
On this limited issue, issue notice to the respondent No.2 on payment of
process fee by RAD as well as Ordinary mode within seven working days. Notice be made returnable within four weeks.
List along with W.P.No.25557/2022.
