The Rajasthan high court on Friday came down heavily on the state for failing to regularise employees of Class-III and Class-IV grades who have been serving for decades in irregular capacities without proper appointments.

JODHPUR: The court observed that the plight of these workers — many of whom have been in service since the late 1970s — was akin to being "left blowing in the wind."

The remark, referencing Bob Dylan's famous song, was used by justice Arun Monga at the very beginning of the judgment: "In words of Bob Dylan's famous song 'Blowing in the Wind', it appears that these petitioners have also been left blowing in the wind."
