Their services were terminated w.e.f. February, 1990 and 1991. They raised industrial disputes. The learned Labour Court declared the termination of petitioners to be illegal and the respondents were directed to re-engage the petitioners and the seniority was also granted to them from the date of reference. 2. Case of the petitioners, in a nut-shell, is that though they had worked uninterruptedly for ten years with 240 days in a block of twelve calendar months and were also entitled to seniority as per award dated 31st July, 2002, their case for conferment of work charge status/regularization has not been considered by the respondent-department. 3. Consequently, the petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of petitioners 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?. No. - 2 - for conferment of work charge status/regularization from the date they have completed 10 years’ continuous service with 240 days in a block of twelve calendar months, with all consequential benefits, within a period of eight weeks from today. Since the petitioners are not represented by any counsel, they shall be informed about this order by the Registry of this Court to enable them to do the needful. No costs.
