W.P.M.P.No..9232/96) .....RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to issue a writ order or direction, more particularly in the nature of writ of mandamus, declaring the action of the respondents in not regularizing the services of the petitioner as Steno-typist though he completed more than 3 1/2 years of services as illegal, improper, unjust, arbitrary and contrary to law and further declare that the petitioner is entitled for regularization since he is fully qualified to hold the post of Steno-typist. For the Petitioner: MR.K.G.KRISHNA MURTHY, Advocate For the Respondents: GP FOR HIGHER EDUCATION The Court made the following : O R D E R The case of the petitioner is that he is fully qualified to be appointed as Steno-Typist and accordingly he was appointed vide proceedings No. TLP/Material/91, dated 19.03.1991 as Steno-Typist with effect from 1.1.1991. When the respondent orally instructed the petitioner not to attend the duties in the month of February, 1995, he approached this Court and filed the present writ petition stating that the said oral order directing him not to attend the duties is illegal, improper and unjust as he completed more than 3 ½ years of service, and consequently for a direction that his services shall be regularized as Steno-Typist. Heard the learned counsel on either side. When the writ petition is admitted, this Court by its interim order dated 08.03.1995 directed the 1st respondent to continue the petitioner as Steno-Typist, if there is work load as before. In view of the interim order, if the petitioner is orally allowed to continue in service as Steno-Typist, he must have completed a total service of about 14 years. If that be so, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for regularization provided he is in service in accordance with the rules. With the above observation, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________ 26th August, 2004 vp ASST. REGISTRAR //true copy// SECTION OFFICER To 1.
