JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 02-02-2015 Even in the previous writ application of the petitioner, the Court did not get convinced enough with the materials and assertions that a clear direction was required to be issued for regularization of service of the petitioner. It is in this background that the matter was referred to the authorities for reconsideration. The matter has been considered. Regularization of the petitioner cannot be for grant of pension to him now if he has not rendered satisfactory and long enough service. The finding has been

Patna High Court CWJC No.130 of 2014 dt.02-02-2015 2/2 given by the Chief Engineer after due consideration of the service record. The details have also been provided especially on page 2 of the said order. If the petitioner fails to fulfill the requirement then this order contained in Annexure- 1 is not required to be interfered with.

Writ application is dismissed.

Contention of the counsel for the petitioner that decision in the case Koshi Project Workers Association v. State of Bihar has not been considered specifically is a misnomer. Reading of the order by itself would indicate the position.
