At their request, the main writ petition itself is taken up for disposal. The case of the petitioner is that in fact she has been working with the respondents since 1-4-1997 which is supported by various documents, however, the same have not been taken into consideration by the authorities, and as such she submitted a detailed representation on 17-02-2000 to the third respondent. The main grievance of the petitioner in fact is as to not disposing of the said representation by the respondents herein. She seeks a direction to the respondents to consider her case for absorption and for regularisation of her services in the post of LDC/Typist or any other suitable post in terms of BPMS No.36, dt. 18-05-1997. Hence, the writ petition. Having regard to the fact that the representation filed by the petitioner dated 17-02- 2000 is still pending with the respondents, without going in to merits of the case, it would suffice, if a direction is given to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner in terms of BPMS No. 36 dated 18-05-1997. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondents to dispose of the representation/petition filed by the petitioner dated 17-2-2000 on merits, in accordance with law, after taking into consideration the documents filed on behalf of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders, within a period of four weeks, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _________________ B.
