ORAL JUDGMENT
Date: 28-04-2015 No one appears on behalf of the petitioners. Heard learned counsel representing Bihar Rajya Beej Nigam Limited as well as State.
2. The petitioners seek a direction from this Court to regularize their services as an employee of Bihar Rajya Beej Nigam Limited, under which they claim to have been working for last fourteen years.
3. I do not find any averment in the writ application to demonstrate that the petitioners' initial engagements were made in conformity with Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. Additionally, I find from the counter Patna High Court CWJC No.7217 of 1999 dt.28-04-2015 3/3 affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents-Corporation that because of the paucity of work in the Corporation and its precarious financial condition, the Corporation is not in a position to appoint or deploy any further employee.
4. I do not find any reason to entertain the relief as sought for in the writ application.
5. This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
