TO JUDGE Rs/ KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P(C) No.34736 of 2004 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner approached this court with certain grievances regarding appointment under the first respondent as a part-time sweeper. It is submitted that the petitioner is entitled to continuity of service. Admittedly the appointment is only for 179 days. It is fairly clear that such appointment was made in the exigencies of service. That by itself cannot confer any claim on the petitioner for regularization of service. Be that as it may, as far as the engagement of part-time sweepers are concerned in view of the intervening developments and in view of the government order, G.O(P) No.501/2005 dated 25-11-2005, in case the petitioner has still any grievance left he may approach the first respondent in which case the matter will be duly considered by the first respondent within a period of another two months. The writ petition is disposed of as above. SD/- (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) ahg.
