2. The learned Single Judge, having relied upon the judgment dated 19.08.2025 passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Dharam Singh & Ors. V. State of U.P. & Anr (Civil Appeal No. 8558/2018), allowed the writ petition filed by the
[2026:RJ-JP:32478-DB] (2 of 2) [SAW-214/2026] respondent herein. Para 8 and 9 of the impugned order dated 23.09.2025 reads as under:- “8. In the aforesaid circumstances, where looking to the long continuance for decades directions have already been given to consider the cases of similar situated persons in the light of judgment of Dharma Singh (supra), this Court deems it just and proper to dispose of all the aforesaid writ petitions with the similar directions.
9. Hence, the respondents are directed to consider the cases of petitioners for regularization in the light of judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Dharam Singh (supra) and to pass an appropriate order within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. In case, the petitioners are found fit and eligible for regularization then consequential benefits of difference of pay and arrears shall also be given to the petitioners within the aforesaid period.”
3. In our considered view, the learned Single Judge has directed the appellant to consider the case of the petitioner (respondent herein) for regularization in light of the judgment passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Dharam Singh (supra). In that view of the matter, we dispose of this appeal with the direction to the appellants to consider the case of the respondent as directed by the learned Single Judge and pass a reasoned and speaking order within a period of two months.
4. The present appeal filed by the appellants stands disposed of accordingly.
