JAMMU, Nov 3: The High Court has ruled that daily wagers engaged in violation of the 2015 Government ban on new appointments cannot claim regularization under SRO 520 of 2017 & dismissed two connected writ petitions filed by Nazir Ahmad Bhat and others.

The court observed that the petitioners were not on the official muster rolls and that their engagement records had been fabricated after the ban.

Justice Javed Iqbal Wani noted that the petitioners had failed to demonstrate any infringement of legal or fundamental rights that would justify invoking the court’s extraordinary writ jurisdiction.

The findings of the inquiry committee clearly establish that the petitioners do not exist on the regular wage lists, and their CVs were drawn after the imposition of the ban,” the Judge held.
