Ghosh, learned Junior Government Advocate, for the official respondents. The instant petitioner, herein, was engaged as a casual worker in the Forest Dep artment, Government of Assam, on 01.01.1989 under the establishment of Divisiona l Forest Officer, Dhubri Division, Dhubri and he has been working as such, till date. The writ petitioner has been approaching the authorities concerned for reg ularization of his service as a casual worker as per the official Standing circu lar issued in the year 2007. The case of the petitioner is that the authorities concerned have prepared a list of casual workers engaged prior to 01.04.1993 and in the said list, the name of the petitioner is placed at serial no. 20 but unf ortunately, the respondent authorities have paid the fixed pay to private respon dents 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 only, who, however, were much junior to the instant writ petitioner as per their respective date of joining in the Department concerned. Mr. Choudhury, learned senior counsel, submits that since the petitioner joined as casual worker earlier than the private respondents, aforementioned, and his n ame having been placed at serial no. 20 of the said list, the instant writ petit ioner should also be offered similar opportunity and should be paid the fixed wa ges/salary as have been paid to private respondents 5-9. Mr. Ghosh, learned Junior Government Advocate, submits that he has not yet recei ved the necessary instructions from the Department concerned. He, however, submi ts that this writ petition may be disposed of with a direction to the respondent authorities concerned to consider entitlement of the writ petitioner on the bas is of the executive instructions issued by the Government, from time to time, in regard to the aforesaid subject matter. I find the above submissions made by the learned Government Advocate, reasonable and accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the resp ondent authorities particularly to respondent no. 2 [PCCF, Government of Assam, Rehabari], to examine, consider and take appropriate decision on the basis of th e existing government policy and relevant executive instructions within a period of 3(three) months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
