The respondents in their reply in para No. 2 have specifically pleaded that the petitioner was a casual daily rated worker and that he had worked only for 121 days in the year 1985 for 50 days, 70 days and 141 days in the years 1986, 1987 and 1988 respectively. Thus he had not worked continuously for more than 240 days in any calendar year immediately preceding his termination from service. The respondents have also pleaded that it was wrong to allege that on the muster roll, the petitioner was made to sign on the fictitious name of his brother Mr. Palvindar Singh.
