JUDGMENT The petitioners were appointed as Drivers in the Excise Department on daily wages. They pray for a direction to retain them till regular hands join duty. In my view, it is for the 2nd respondent to decide whether the petitioners should continue to be engaged on daily wages. Necessary action may, therefore, be taken on Ext.P2 by the 2nd respondent. Subject to this, the writ petition is disposed of. V. GIRI, JUDGE. cl . 2 . 3
