YATENDRA SINGH AND ANOTHERversusREGIONAL MANAGER RAJYA BHANDARAN AND ANOTHER
- Decided

Holding
The Court disposed of the writ petition without merits, directing the petitioners to file a fresh representation before the Regional Manager for expeditious decision.
Summary
The petitioners, Yatendra Singh and another, filed a writ petition seeking regularisation of their services with the U.P. State Warehousing Corporation. They alleged that their representation for regularisation had not been decided. The respondents argued that the matter required factual determination by the competent authority and that the petitioners' employment status (permanent or contractual) needed clarification, but they did not oppose a direction for the petitioners to file a fresh representation before the Regional Manager. The Court held that keeping the writ pending would serve no useful purpose and therefore disposed of the petition without addressing the merits, directing the petitioners to file a fresh representation within three weeks and for the Regional Manager to decide it within three months. The order was signed by Justice Dinesh Pathak, and the petition was consequently disposed.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petition seeking regularisation of services can be entertained without a factual determination of the petitioners' employment status.
- Whether the Court should direct the petitioners to move a fresh representation before the Regional Manager for adjudication.

.....Respondent(s)
Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Hari Narayan Singh, Kanchan
Counsel for Respondent(s) : Bal Mukund Singh
Court No. - 32
HON'BLE DINESH PATHAK, J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Bal Mukund Singh,
learned counsel appearing for the U.P. State Warehousing Corporation
(respondent nos. 1 and 2).
2. The grievance of the petitioners is that their representation seeking
regularization of their services has not been decided till date.
3. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the matter requires
factual determination, as per the applicable law, by the competent authority
in the first instance, and that the claim of the petitioners needs to be
ascertained as to whether they were appointed by the Corporation on its rolls
or were contractual employees engaged through a contractor. However, he
fairly contends that the claim of the petitioners for regularization is liable to
be considered and decided by the Regional Manager of the U.P. State
Warehousing Corporation (respondent no. 1), and he has no objection if a
direction is issued for expeditious disposal of a fresh representation to be
moved by the present petitioners within such stipulated period, as may be
directed by this Court.
4. In this conspectus, as above, no useful purpose would be served by
keeping this matter pending, therefore, this Court deems it appropriate to
finally dispose of the present writ petition, without making any observation
on the merits of the case, with liberty to the present petitioners to move a
fresh representation before the Regional Manager of the U.P. State
Warehousing Corporation (respondent no. 1) to ventilate their grievances, as
raised in this petition, within a period of three weeks from today, along with
WRIA No. 14014 of 2026
2
a certified copy of this order and a self attested copy of the instant writ
petition, who, in turn, shall consider and decide the same in accordance with
law expeditiously, preferably, within a period of three months from the date
of production of the same, if there is no any other legal impediment.
5. With the aforesaid direction, present writ petition is disposed of.
