STU ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 26332 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of November, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims to be the dependent of the owner of a property which was purchased by the first respondent Company. According to the petitioner there was a scheme in terms of which persons like him are entitled to preference in the matter of employment. In this writ petition what the petitioner claim is that there are vacancies of junior workers in the Company which are to be filled up from among persons like him. Thus he seeks a direction to the Company to appoint him in service. 2. A counter affidavit has been filed by the respondent which shows that the notification inviting applications from persons like the petitioner was issued and this court in the judgment in WPC 32445/08 and connected cases set aside the same. It is stated that in view of the said judgment fresh recruitment process will W.P.(C) No. 26332 OF 2011 :2 : have to be initiated and only then the persons like the petitioner will have a right to be considered for appointment or claim any preference. In view of this stand now taken by the respondent, a fresh recruitment process has to be initiated by issuing appropriate notification. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent Company to expedite the steps for issuing advertisement and complete the recruitment process consequent to the judgment mentioned above. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible . ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/-
