The petitioner is working as a Sewadar-cum-Peon on part-time basis and is posted as such in Government Elementary School, Jalajan, District Ludhiana since 1st November, 1997. Having worked to the satisfaction of the respondents for more than 12 years, the petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to regularize her services in terms of Government policy dated 23.01.2001 and 15.12.2006 (Annexure P4 & P7, respectively). The petitioner also submitted a representation on 19.10.2008 (Annexure P8) claiming the aforesaid relief but the same has not been heeded to by the respondents so far. CWP No.17813 of 2009.doc - 2 – (2). Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought and the fact that the petitioner has been working for a sufficiently long period, I am of the considered view that the claim of the petitioner for regularization of her services deserves to be considered by the competent authority in terms of the aforesaid Government policies (Annexure P4 & P7). The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner’s afore-stated claim within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order. (3). Ordered accordingly. (4). Dasti . (SURYA KANT) JUDGE 07.04.2010 vishal shonkar
