Summary:
The court also issued a notice and sought a reply from the state government after 40 MGNREGA workers approached it against the government resolution. During the hearing on Thursday, counsel for the petitioners AS Asthavadi vehemently argued against the government resolution. Asthavadi said the petitioners, all contractual MGNREGA employees, were hired by the state government in 2014 as per the recruitment procedure and their contracts have been renewed from time to time till date. As per the May 20 government resolution, the services of contractual employees who had earlier not moved court will be terminated and such positions will be filled up through outsourcing agencies. This led the contractual employees to move court against the resolution..
