BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Antony Dominic, J. ======================== W.P(C).No.24723 of 2007 ======================== Dated this the 14th day of August, 2007. JUDGMENT Petitioner was working on daily wages as Forest Watcher under the second respondent. It is stated that his service has been dispensed with and that yet another batch has already been engaged. According to the petitioner, he has been claiming regularisation in service and as an interim measure, he also seeks to be reinstated in service. 2. Regularisation in public service amounts to entry into public service through back door and is not permissible. Therefore, this Court will not be justified in entertaining that plea. In so far as the request for reinstatement is concerned, the petitioner stands replaced by another set of people who will be thrown out, if his request is to be allowed. The people who are now appointed are not parties before this Court and therefore that request is also rejected. This Writ Petition lacks merit and it is only to be dismissed. I do so. Antony Dominic, Judge. ess 14/8
