Respondents Prayer: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to issue a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 30.8.2011 and pass such further or other order as this Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. For Petitioner : Mr.M.Mohanasundaram For Respondents : Mr.M.Alagathevan Special Government Pleader O R D E R The present Writ Petition has been filed by 27 petitioners seeking a limited prayer for issuance of Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 30.8.2011 in and by which, a request was made to regularize the service of the petitioners from the year 2002 with all attendant benefits. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners by briefly mentioning their facts submitted that all the petitioners are qualified with C.LI.Sc., Certificate of Library Information Science and some of them are qualified with B.LI.Sc. Though the petitioners were appointed with these qualifications, they were not regularized for long time. Hence, they came to this Court by filing W.P. Nos. 8797 to 8800, 8802, 8858 to 8860, 6373 to 6467 of 2001, 231 of 2001 and 22017 to 22020 of 2001 seeking a relief of regularizing their services. This Court by order dated 10.10.2002 disposed off all the Writ Petitions by giving a direction to accommodate all of them in the permanent vacancies. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that instead of being regularized in the year 2002, the petitioners were regularized only on 26.10.2006 through G.O.Ms.No. 64 School Education Department dated 12.5.2006. Therefore, the service of the petitioners as mentioned by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners in the present Writ Petition shows that because of delay in regularizing the petitioners from the year 2002, they have lost four years of pay and benefits. Therefore, they have made number of representations particularly on 17.6.2011 before the respondent to regularize the petitioner's service from the year 2002 with all attendant benefits on the basis of the judgment passed by this Court in W.P. Nos. 8797 to 8800, 8802, 8858 to 8860, 6373 to 6467 of 2001, 231 of 2001 for the purpose of getting the pensionary benefits. 3. Without going into the merits of the matter putting on notice to the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, by taking note of the fact that all the petitioners have been working from https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 3 the year 1997 and 1998 and some persons from the year 2000, this Court directs the respondents to consider and pass orders on the petitioner's representation dated 30.8.2011 on merits and in accordance with law within a period of ten weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 4.With the above observation, this Writ Petition stands disposed off.
