JUDGMENT In all these writ petitions, common questions arise and therefore they are being disposed of by a common judgment. The petitioners are engaged as casual workers in various Agricultural Farms under the Kerala Agricultural University. Even though the petitioners were regularised in service earlier, that was later cancelled pursuant to the acceptance of the report of Justice Bhaskaran Nambiar Commission. Thereafter, they continued on casual basis. Presently, they are claiming the benefits of regularisation in the light of Ext.P4 order dated 8.6.2009 issued by the Government to regularise casual employees in various farms. Therefore, the petitioners seek to implement Ext.P4 and for consequential orders. Reliance is placed on the judgment in W.P.(C) No.14440/2009 and connected cases. 2. Heard learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Agricultural University.

In the light of the above, it is upto the University to take appropriate action to implement the directions issued in the Circular dated 26.6.2009.
