A person was joined in the Water Resources Department, Bihar as daily wages employee in theyear 1980. After some time State Government came with a resolution to make cut off date as 1.8.1985 to regularise the service of person working before 1.8.1985. The person filed case in thePatna high court in writ petition for regularising his service as the State Government is not taking any steps for his regularisation. Writ was allowed in his favour but the State not regularise theservice. He filed MJC and after some time during pendency of MJC (Contempt) the State regularise his service but he deemed as new appointment. Can he claim his seniority as his initial appointment on 1980. Please reply me with judgment passed in Supreme Court or any High Court, case reported in AIR, SC.
