In this writ petition, he seeks a direction to the respondents to engage him as sweeper either on daily wages or on part time basis. This claim is made on the basis that there is requirement of additional sweepers in the District Collectorate. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions in the matter and he submits that sanctioned strength of Part Time Sweepers in the Collectorate is 27 and that there are already 27 persons. In addition to this, it is stated that there are ten casual sweepers who are also continuing under Court orders. It is stated that the petitioner, who was a Sweeper on daily wages, is not engaged since 4.5.2004. According to the learned Government Pleader, there is no requirement of any sweepers either on daily wages or on Part Time basis. If that W.P.(C).11588/10 2 be so, this Court will not be justified in requiring the 2nd respondent to sponsor the name of the petitioner to the 1st respondent for the purpose of engaging him as Sweeper. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
