He claims that by virtue of a scheme introduced by the company, he is entitled to get a temporary status in the company, which would help him to get a regular employment in the course of time. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are not considering his case for a temporary status, though some of his juniors were conferred with the said status. He, therefore, seeks a direction to the respondents to consider his case for conferring the temporary status. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner, the fourth respondent is directed to consider the case of the petitioner for temporary status, in the light of the existing instructions and rules, and pass appropriate orders within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order, if he is not otherwise disqualified. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ (G. YETHIRAJULU,J) 6th August, 2004 Note:- Issue C.C. in one week. B/o BCS+KSN Asst.
