Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the High Court erred in dismissing the appellants' writ petition for regularization of their services as 'Muharrirs' under Rule 57-A of the Bihar Certificate Manual. The Court emphasized that the temporary appointments made in 1987-88 were extended until 1991, and the appellants were entitled to seek regularization despite the lapse of time. The Court reversed the High Court's decision and directed the State to regularize the appellants' services, thereby upholding the Single Judge's order.
