BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.M.R.SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.12704 of 2008 W ------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of May, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner, who was appointed as a Carpenter on a provisional basis, seeks regularisation of services. The request made by the petitioner in this regard has been rejected under Ext.P8, essentially noting that the issue has already been dealt with by the Government on an earlier occasion. This is correct going by Ext.P5 order. At any rate, I am not in a position to find any error in the stand taken by the Government declining regularisation of service of a provisional employee. Ext.P8 is not liable to be interfered with. Writ petition is bereft of merit and the same is therefore, dismissed. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
