Khagesh Kumar & Ors vs Inspector General Of Registration & Ors on 27 September, 1995
A number of writ petitions were filed in the Allahabad
High Court by persons who had worked as registration clerks
on daily wage basis in the past or who were actually working
as Registration Clerks on daily wage basis wherein the
petitioners sought regularisation of their appointment on
the post of registration clerk and prayed for quashing of
the Press notification inviting applications for appointment
on the post of registration clerks. Many of these writ
petitions had been disposed of by learned single Judges of
the High Court and special appeals against these judgments
were pending before the Division Bench while other writ
petitions were pending for disposal before learned single
Judges. In a large number of cases interim orders had been
passed directing that the petitioners in the writ petitions
may be allowed to continue in service during the pendency of
the writ petitions. One such writ petition (Civil Misc. Writ
Petition No. 3721/90, Majeed & Ors. v. State of U.P. & Ors.)
filed at the Lucknow Bench of the High Court had been
allowed by a learned single Judge (S.H.A. Raza J.) and the
special leave petition (Civil) No. ....../93 [CC no.
121212/91] filed against the said judgment was dismissed on
the ground of delay by this Court by order dated August 10,
1993. All the special appeals and writ petitions that were
pending in the High Court at Allahabad as well at the
Lucknow Bench were taken up and were disposed of by the
Division Bench of the High Court by the impugned judgment
dated February 8, 1995.
