No.35161 of 2009 (M) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 9th day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are casual sweepers. They are claiming regularization as Part Time Sweepers. It is stated that petitioners 1 & 2 are concerned, their claim for regularization has been taken up and that a proposal made for regularization of their services is now pending consideration of the 1st respondent. Their complaint is that orders have not been passed in the matter. 2. If as stated above, the proposal for extending the benefit of GO(P) No.501/2005 dated 25/11/2005 to petitioners 1 & 2 has been made and that the same is pending before the 1st respondent, I direct that the 1st respondent shall pass orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months of production of a copy of this judgment. In so far as the 3rd petitioner is concerned, according to her, the sweeping area of the office, where she is working, is less than 100 sq.meters. She claims protection of the wages as provided in WP(C) No.35161/2009 -2- Clause 11 of Ext.P3 Government Order. According to her, initially that was paid. But, however, the same has been reduced. If as stated by the 3rd petitioner, she is eligible for the benefit of protection as per Clause 11, it will be open to her to take up her case before the Director of Homoeopathy, in which event the same shall be considered by the said Officer. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
