BY GP SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU SC SRI.J.KRISHNAKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C).8405/2010 -------------------- Dated this the 26th day of May, 2010 JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that they were engaged on a provisional basis under the 1st respondent. It is also stated that since 1993, they were engaged by different contractors of the 1st respondent. Their claim for regularization was rejected by Ext.P5 and that was challenged before this Court in W.P.(C).10090/2004. That writ petition was disposed of by Ext.P6 finding that if the engagement of the petitioners after 1993 were under contractors, petitioners cannot claim regularization. However, this Court directed that it will be open to the petitioners to make a representation to the Government within one month from the date of judgment. That judgment was rendered on 21.2.2007. Petitioners have filed Ext.P7 representation on 14.8.2009 and that too is addressed to the Minister for Water Resources. In my view, once this Court has directed the petitioners to file a representation in the manner as directed in Ext.P6 and if the W.P.(C).8405/10 2 petitioners have not complied with the directions in the judgment, they cannot again seek the assistance of this Court to direct consideration of their claims. I am not persuaded to direct consideration of Ext.P7. writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
