The Writ Court has disposed of the aforesaid writ petition with direction to the Project Director, District Rural Development Agency, District Faizabad (Ayodhya) to consider the case of the petitioner for regularisation in terms of the U.P. Regularisation of Daily Wages Appointments on Group 'D' Posts Rules, 2001 in view of the fact that the petitioner had been engaged in services prior to 29.6.1990. It was also directed that the petitioner would be entitled for the payment of salary and other emoluments as he was getting prior to dismissal of the Writ Petition on 1.8.2016. The arrears of salary would be payable with effect from 1.8.2016 and the petitioner would also be entitled for regular payment of salary as he was getting prior to 1.8.2016.
