(C) No. 9143 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 30th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a physically handicapped person with 45% locomotor disability. On various occasions, she had worked on provisional basis, on being sponsored through the Employment Exchange. In fact, one of such provisional spells of service fell within 18.6.1998 and 11.12.1998. Based on the said service rendered during the aforesaid period,the petitioner claims that she is entitled to get the benefit of Government Order G.O(P)No. 32/99/P & ARD dated 17.5.1999. According to the petitioner, the said Government order provides for regularization of physically handicapped persons who rendered provisional service during the period mentioned therein. Since, the petitioner is now aged 53 years she claims for consideration for appointment as a Part Time Contingent Employee, so that she could continue up to the age of 70 years. Raising such a claim, the petitioner submits Ext.P8 representation before the respondent. 2. The aforesaid Government Orders dated 28.9.1998 WPC.No.9143 of 2010 : 2 : and 17.5.1999 provide for re-appointment and regularization of handicapped persons who rendered provisional service during the period mentioned therein. True that the claim now, put forth by the petitioner is not exactly one for regularization. That apart the very entitlement of the petitioner for reappointment and regularisation, in the light of the aforesaid G.Os, is a matter which is to be considered, first, by the respondents. However, without making any observation as to the merits of the case, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 representation submitted by the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
