State of U.P. and Ors. v. Ram Khelawan and Ors.

Leave granted. ~ Heard the counsel on both sides. The High Court pre-judged the issue by directing to pay as if the respondent is a regular employee. Since H this issue is pending adjudication, the High Court is not justified in giving 822 .. STATE v. RAMKHELAWAN 823 such direction. A Accordingly, the direction is set aside. Since the matter is pending in the High Court, we request it to dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible preferably within six months, giving preference to the writ petition. B The appeal is accordingly allowed. R.P . Appeal allowed.
