JUDGMENT C.N. Ramachandran Nair, J. The Original Application was filed by the petitioners for regularisation in the employment of B.S.N.L. as Mazdoors. The petitioners' case is that they were engaged as casual workers for the period from 1984 to 1988 and then from 1992 to 1998 and thereafter disengaged. However, it is seen that the petitioners were released in 1988 itself and thereafter they did the work under a contractor engagement by the B.S.N.L. We do not find any justification for the petitioners' claim for regularisation and the Tribunal has rightly rejected the application. The writ petition is therefore dismissed as devoid of any merit.
