Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents. The case of the petitioners is that they are working as contract labourers in the respondent-Corporation. The respondent-Corporation notified 50 vacant posts.

Whether the petitioners are eligible to be appointed in the notified posts or not is required to be gone into by the respondent-Corporation. Therefore, without going into merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take appropriate decision on the representations dated 03.10.2004 and 03.09.2004 made by the petitioners within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
