WP(C) 1919/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE UJJAL BHUYAN. This is an application under Article 226 of the Constitution of India wh ereby the petitioner seeks a direction upon the respondents to regularize his se rvice in Grade-IV. The case of the petitioner, as projected in the writ petition , is that he was engaged as Muster Roll Worker on 21.6.1988 in the office of the Assistant Executive Engineer, Public Works Department, Guwahati City Sub-Divisi on and since then, he has been engaged as such. On 14.10.2004, the office of the said Assistant Executive Engineer prepared a list of Muster Roll Workers for th e purpose of regularization. In that list dated 14.10.2004, the name of the peti tioner appeared at Sl. No.6. But somehow, the office of the Executive Engineer, City Division-II omitted to forward the name of the petitioner to the higher au thorities for the purpose of regularization. While the services of other similarly situated Muster Roll Workers have been reg ularized, the service of the petitioner has not been regularized due to the omis sion to forward his name. Thereafter, a number of proposals were sent to the Gov ernment of Assam in the Public Works Department by the Executive Engineer, P.W.D . (Roads) for regularization of service of the petitioner on 7.10.2005, 12.5.200 6, 30.11.2006 and 4.12.2008. It is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of submission of such proposals, no concrete steps have been taken by the highe r authorities of the Public Works Department to regularize his service. I have heard Mr. I.H. Saikia, learned counsel for the petitioner and also Mr. S. Saikia, learned Standing Counsel, P.W.D. appearing for all the respondents. It is seen from the averments made in the writ petition as well as the documents annexed thereto that the case of the petitioner got omitted through inadvertenc e as a result of which, his service has not been regularized till date, whereas the services of other similarly situated Muster Roll Workers have been regulariz ed. The respondents have not filed any affidavit. At the time of hearing, Mr. S. Sai kia, learned Standing Counsel, PWD fairly submits that the matter may be remande d to the departmental authorities for a decision in this regard. He submits that the departmental Commissioner & Secretary would be the appropriate authority to take a decision in this regard. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and in the interest of justi ce, this writ petition is allowed directing the Respondent No.1 i.e. the Commiss ioner & Secretary to the Government of Assam in the Public Works Department (Roa ds) to take a decision regarding the proposal submitted by the Executive Enginee r, PWD (Roads), Guwahati City Division-III for regularization of the service of the petitioner and matters incidental thereto. The departmental Commissioner & S ecretary shall sympathetically consider the matter consistently with the proposa ls sent by the Executive Engineer and pass appropriate order in this regard with in a period of 6 (six) weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of thi s order. The petitioner may also submit a detailed representation before the sa id departmental Commissioner & Secretary before he takes a decision. It is made clear that the entire exercise shall be completed within a period of six weeks f rom the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. This disposes of the writ petition. However, there shall be no order as to costs .
