TGS KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) Nos.21509/04 & 28103/05 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 21st March, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioners are aggrieved since their appointments are not approved with effect from their respective dates of appointment. The stand of the Directorate is that the appointments got approved only with effect from the date of passing the State Eligibility Test. According to the petitioners, the appointments originally made were owing to the non-availability of SET qualified hands and in such circumstances only, this Court in the judgment dated 23.1.2007 in W.P. (C)No.23465/05, directed the respondents to take appropriate action for approving the appointment from the date of appointment. Therefore, these writ petitions are disposed of directing the respondents to extend a similar treatment as meted out to the petitioners covered by the judgment referred to above, in case the petitioners herein also are similarly situated and in case the above judgment has become final, within one month from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the judgment referred to above.
