BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 2039 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 25th January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioners were appointed as Nursing Assistants in different Ayurveda Dispensaries in Thiruvanthapuram district on a provisional basis under Exhibit P1 and thereafter under Exhibits P2 and P3. Petitioners now point out that Hospital Attendants Gr.II in the Health Services Department, though appointed on a provisional basis were subsequently regularised as is evident from Exhibit P4 Government Order dated 16.11.2007. Petitioners claim parity of treatment and have submitted Exhibits P5 to 8 representations before the Government in that regard. Learned Government Pleader submits that Exhibit P4 Government Order will not apply to the case of the petitioners. Petitioners were appointed in the Department of Ayurveda and the beneficiaries under Exhibit P4 stands on a different footing. This is definitely a relevant fact. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and after hearing the counsel W.P ( C) No. 2039 of 2008 2 on both sides, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to look into Exhibit P5 to 8 and take a decision thereon, in accordance with law, after hearing the petitioner, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 3rd respondent, for compliance.
