JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Mazdoor Watcher at Aryankavu, Thenmala Forest Division under the 4th respondent Divisional Forest Officer, Thenmala. He was appointed as Plantation Mazdoor on daily wages in the year 1977. The grievance raised by the petitioner in the writ petition is that in spite of several schemes for regularisation of such employees, the service of the petitioner has not been regularised so far. The petitioner is relying upon Exts.P4 and P7 in support of the said contention. Ext.P6 is a detailed representation submitted by the petitioner before the first respondent Government, seeking for urgent orders to regularise his service in the light of the various schemes which are prevalent. 2. Since Ext.P6 representation has not been answered so far, there will be a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 on its merits, after considering various aspects pointed out by the petitioner and after considering the various schemes by which the benefits of regularisation have been conferred on other temporary employees. The same shall be done within a period of three months from the date of receipt WPC 35491/2008 2 of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
