The subsequent steps for getting themselves - 2 - regularized on the basis of earlier writ application has now come to be rejected vide Annexure-7 which is under challenge in the present writ application. The fact that petitioners were terminated way back in the year 1997 and at no point of time that order was ever interfered with or was challenged. Merely because the High Court gave a direction to the respondents to consider their case and pass a speaking order does not take away the effect of the earlier order of termination. Annexure-7 clearly states the position and no claim or right of the petitioners is established. In view of the same, the writ application is ill-advised and is dismissed. PN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
