The same was extended on more than one occasion, as evidenced by Exhibits P1 and P2. But, later on expiry of the tenure of appointment, he was discharged from office. He submits that there are still vacancies which can accommodate him. He refers to Exhibit P8 interim order by which this Court had issued an interim direction that if there is any necessity to recruit a temporary hand, petitioner shall be preferred. By Exhibit P9 judgment, the writ petition was disposed of in terms of the interim order and the same has been confirmed in W.A No.1082 of 2003. Exhibit P12 advertisement has been issued as part of the regular recruitment to the post of Assistant. Petitioner has submitted Exhibit P13 before the Zonal Manager seeking a right to be considered for appointment as Assistant on W.P ( C) No.20745 of 2008 2 the basis of his earlier engagement. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner refers to the judgment of this Court in O.P No.24137 of 1998 and W.A. No.258 of 2000 arising therefrom. 3. In my view, the only direction that is required in this writ petition is for a direction to the Zonal Manager to consider Exhibit P13. He shall take into account the earlier judgments pronounced by this Court. 4. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri.M.V Bose and Sri.S.Easwaran, learned standing counsel appearing for the Life Insurance Corporation. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Exhibit P13 and take a decision thereon in the course of recruitment sought to be effected as per Exhibit P12. It is open to the petitioner to supplement Exhibit P13 with an additional representation or materials as the case may be. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.20745 of 2008 3 W.P ( C) No.20745 of 2008 4
