It is submitted on behalf of the respondents that steps have already been taken to regularise the services of petitioners 1, 2 and 4 and to pay the arrears from 25.11.2005. The 3rd petitioner is not entitled for regularisation in service, as the sweeping area of the office to which she is attached is below 100 sq. metres. So, she will be eligible to get a consolidated salary of Rs.600/- per month. The above submissions are recorded. Final orders based on the above submissions shall be passed by the Government within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. If the 3rd petitioner is aggrieved by the decision concerning her regularisation, she will be free to work out her remedies. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. 29th May, 2007.
