State Must Assess Eligibility of 33 Daily Wagers for Benefits Per Supreme Court Directive; Action Required in 4 Months.
The HC ordered the State to evaluate the eligibility of 33 daily wagers individually, based on a Supreme Court directive, for benefits under the Government Resolution dated 17.10.1988. If eligible, the State must grant benefits within four months. The petition was allowed, mandating compliance with the Supreme Court's instructions.
Issues: Petition under Article 226 for benefits from Government Resolution dated 17.10.1988 for 33 daily wagers working in Road and Building Department of Gujarat State.
Analysis: The petitioner, representing 33 members, sought benefits from a Government Resolution dated 17.10.1988 for daily wagers in the Road and Building Department of Gujarat State. The 33 members had provided more than ten years of continuous service in the department as daily wagers. They claimed entitlement to benefits similar to those granted to daily wagers in other departments following a Supreme Court judgment. The State Government had not extended the benefits despite a dismissal of their review petition by the Supreme Court.
The State Government, represented by the AGP, agreed to examine the eligibility of the 33 members individually based on the Supreme Court judgment. The High Court noted that the case fell under the purview of the Supreme Court's directive in a similar matter involving the Forest and Environment Department. The Supreme Court had directed the State to provide benefits as per the 1988 Resolution to daily wagers working for more than five years. The State's review petitions against this decision were also dismissed by the Supreme Court.
Consequently, the High Court ordered the State to assess the eligibility of the 33 members individually and, if found eligible, to grant them benefits in line with the 1988 Resolution within four months. The petition was allowed, and the State was directed to comply with the Supreme Court's directions within the specified timeframe.
