TRUE COPY p.a.to judge css/ P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ====================================== W.P.(C)No.14568 of 2008 ====================================== Dated this the 24th day of September 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner, the person with physical disability claims that she is presently working as Part-time Sweeper in the office of the third respondent. She seeks regularisation in service in terms of Ext.P3 Government Order dated 25.11.2005. The petitioner submits that she has submitted an application in December 2007 in terms of Ext.P3 Government Order seeking regularisation in service and that the said request was forwarded by the third respondent to the State Government along with her letter dated 16.1.2008. 2. I have heard Smt.Anu Sivaraman, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents as well. The question whether the petitioner is entitled to regularisation in terms of Ext.P3 government order is essentially a matter for the State Government to decide atleast in the first instance. Going by the pleadings, it appears that the petitioner has already moved the W.P.(C)14568/2008 2 Government seeking regularisation in terms of Ext.P3 and that the said request has been favourably recommended by the third respondent. This being the situation, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the Secretary to Government, Animal Husbandry Department, to consider the petitioner's request for regularisation in service in terms of Ext.P3 government order and take a decision thereon, if the representation referred to by the petitioner in paragraph-4 of the writ petition has already been received by the said officer. This shall be done within three months from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the amended writ petition before the Secretary to Government, Animal Husbandry Department. Till such time as orders are passed on the petitioner's request for regularisation, status quo as on today shall continue. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE css/
