It is further stated that since the petitioners are also working as Canteen cleaners and suppliers along with the employees who availed regularization benefits with effect from 1991 as per the G.O.Ms.No.1282 dated 09.10.2007, the petitioners made representations on 05.02.2009 and 10.03.2009 before the 2nd respondent to consider their case on par with other employees.
