Dear Members, Service matters varies from state to State, and in Nagaland there are thousands of employees designated as work charge, daily wages workers, casual labourers etc who do not come within the ambit of workman, and as a result no blanket direction can be given for their regularization. However, as held by the Supreme Court in the case of State of Haryana Vs Piara Singh (1992) 3 SCJ 416, Principles of Ad-hoc employees should be followed for their regularization. In that Case if I am not mistaken even the present Union Cabinet Minister Shri.Kabil Sibal, also appeared. However, in Nagaland thousands of such employees are existing like a bonded labourers not for few years but almost all of them are above 10 to 28 years as work charge without regularization in Governmental Department. Now, there is no service Jurisprudence in India, and what may be suitable in one State may not be suitable in other State. Hon”ble Members are requested to give valuable advice and suggestions to take up the matters in the Court or the Government.
