The above writ appeal is directed against the order of the learned single Judge dated 06.01.1999 made in W.P.No.17836 of 1995, in and by which the learned Judge after directing the Pollution Control Board to consider the grievance of the petitioners in the proper perspective and grant suitable reliefs, disposed of the writ petition filed by the petitioner/appellant as well as others. 2. Heard the learned Senior Counsel for the appellant as well as the learned counsel for the respondents. 3. The only grievance of the petitioner/appellant is that though he was appointed in the service of the Board as early as on 11.01.1989 as Assistant with required qualification including the educational qualification, when the Board has considered the case of one K.E.Mohanan who possessed the educational qualification at a later point of time, namely 30.06.1991, the petitioner was given different treatment and according to the learned counsel for the appellant, this aspect was not considered by the learned Judge. 4. We verified the details furnished in G.O.Ms.No.333 dated 12.10.1995 and other service particulars of the appellant as well as K.E.Mohanan. On going through the same, we are of the view that ends of justice would be met by directing the respondents to consider the grievance of the appellant for regularisation on par with the case of one K.E.Mohanan, Assistant working in the same Board, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Appeal is disposed of on the above terms. No costs. gms Sd/ Asst.Registrar /true copy/ Sub Asst.Registrar https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ To 1.
