THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.RAVINDRAN,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.16073 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 11th August, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner claims that she had worked as a Casual Sweeper in the Agricultural Development Branch of the State Bank of India at Alappuzha. She seeks engagement and regularisation of her services. The said claim is seriously opposed by the respondents. The petitioner has filed Exhibit-P4 representation before the first respondent setting out her grievances and prayed that she may be engaged as Part-time Sweeper and her services also may be regularised. There is serious dispute as to whether the petitioner was ever employed as a Casual Sweeper by the Bank. In the light of the dispute between the parties, I deem it fit and proper that the 1st respondent should consider the matter in the first instance. In the result, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider the claim W.P ( C) No.16073 of 2008 2 made by the petitioner in Exhibit-P4 and pass orders thereon within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall also be given an opportunity of being heard in person before orders are passed on Exhibit-P4. (P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.16073 of 2008 3 W.P ( C) No.16073 of 2008 4
