Singh, Assistant Advocate General. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajiv Sharma, Judge (Oral): Case of the petitioner, in a nut-shell, is that though he had been working and discharging the duties of Whole Time Cook, however, he has been regularized as Water Carrier. 2. Case of the respondent-State precisely is that since the petitioner was initially appointed as Part Time Water Carrier in 1978, his services have rightly been regularized as Water Carrier. It has come on the record that subsequently on 15.10.1982, the petitioner was appointed as contingent paid Cook. He had continuously worked thereafter and discharged the duties of Cook. In view of this, his case ought to have been considered for regularization as Cook and not as water Carrier. 3. Accordingly, the petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of petitioner for regularization to the post of Cook instead of Water Carrier, within 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? No. - 2 - a period of two months from the date of production of a certified copy of this judgment by the petitioner. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge December 09, 2010. (bhupender) - 3 -
