1. This MCC has been filed seeking modification of the
operative part of paragraph No.7 of the order dated

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
aforesaid writ petition was finally decided and disposed
of by this Court vide order dated 03.08.2026. It is
submitted that while passing the aforesaid order, the
operative part of paragraph No.7 contains the words “as
well as the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court
in Uma Devi (Supra)”. It is further submitted that the
Department of Finance, State of Chhattisgarh, had
requested the Department of General Administration to
re-examine the matter in the light of the judgment
passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in State of
Karnataka and Others Vs. Uma Devi and Others, and
thereafter, a meeting was convened by the General
Administration Department on 24.09.2024.
3.
It is further submitted that in the said meeting, the
General Administration Department had already taken a
decision that the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme
Court in State of Karnataka and Others Vs. Uma Devi and
Others is not applicable to the regularization of the

5
services of the petitioners. Learned counsel for the
petitioners, therefore, submits that the words “as well as
the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Uma
Devi (Supra)” occurring in the operative part of
paragraph No.7 of the order dated 03.08.2026 may be
expunged/modified.
4. I have considered the submissions advanced by learned
counsel for the petitioners and perused the record.
5. Having regard to the submissions made and the facts of
the case, the prayer made in the present MCC deserves
to be allowed.

No.1730 of 2025 shall stand modified and shall read as
