No.5358 of 2007 (K) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 17th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T According to the petitioner, she is working as Part Time Sweeper in the Veterinary Dispensary at Panthadivila, Manamboor in Thiruvananthapuram District since 01/09/2002. In this writ petition, what is claimed by the petitioner is the benefit of regularisation in terms of the provisions contained in GO(P) No.501/2005/Fin. dated 25/11/2005, pointing out the fact that even going by the averments in the counter affidavit, the sweeping area is more than 100 sq.m. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, she is entitled to the benefit of regularistion in terms of the Government Order referred to above, there is no reason why the Authorities shall not initiate necessary action as provided in the Government Order referred to above and in the light of the subsequent clarifications. 3. Therefore, I direct the 3rd respondent to get the sweeping area measured in terms of the guidelines laid down in GO(P) WP(C) No.5358/2007 -2- No.501/2005/Fin. dated 25/11/2005 and on that basis submit a proposal to the 2nd respondent for onward transmission to the 1st respondent for obtaining orders on the claim of the petitioner for regularisation of her services as a Part Time Sweeper in the Veterinary Dispensary, where she is working. 4. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent, who shall initiate necessary action in this regard, that if the petitioner is eligible, the proposal shall be submitted as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, and the 2nd respondent shall place the matter before the 1st respondent without any delay and the 1st respondent shall pass orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months of its receipt. It is also directed that until the aforesaid process is completed, the petitioner is entitled to have the benefit of interim order dated 19/02/2007 staying the termination of the petitioner's service. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
