Project Officer vs Mohanlal Kumhar (Prajapati ) on 11 October, 2017
15. Now, coming back to the authorities relied upon by the
learned counsel appearing for the employer in order to substantiate
his contention that in the case termination of a daily-wager in
contravention of the provisions of Section 25-F of the Act, the
courts can only direct for payment of compensation in lieu of
reinstatement with or without backwages. Reliance is placed in the
recent verdict of the Supreme Court rendered in the case of Vice
Chancellor, Lucknow University vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare
(supra). In the said case the first issue was regarding regularisation
of services of a casual worker or a temporary employee worked for
more than 240 days in a year when his appointment was made
without following the due process of selection as envisaged under
the Rules.
