14. The petitioner challenged both the orders passed by the learned Single Judge and the Division bench before the Apex Court in Civil Appeal No.1881/2005.

15. The Apex Court disposed off the appeal by its order dated 03.04.2006 which reads as follows:

"When the Special leave petition came up before us on 28.10.2005, counsel for the appellant stated before us that he will give up his claim for backwages and interest and he will be satisfied if the appellant is restored to the muster roll, i.e., on the same position as was occupied by him on the date of his termination.
Having heard counsel for the parties we are satisfied that the High Court in its writ jurisdiction should not have set aside the Award of the Labour Court. We accordingly set aside the impugned judgment and order of the High Court. However, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, we direct that the appellant shall be reinstated in service as a daily wage employee. The appellant has given up his claim for backwages and interest which shall not be paid to him. After restoration of the name of the appellant on the muster roll, the appellant shall enjoy the same rights and privileges as are available to the muster roll employees, and the respondent shall treat him accordingly.
