BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.THOMAS JULIEN AMBOOKEN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.16209 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 11th June, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was appointed as Scavenger on daily wages in the District Hospital, Kottayam as per Exhibit-P1 order along with 50 other persons. Appointment was till regular hands are employed. Regular recruitment to the said post is from among candidates sponsored by the Employment Exchange. Petitioner is registered in the Employment Exchange Kottayam. Apparently, on apprehending that his services might be terminated, he had approached this Court earlier in WPC No.21435 of 2006, which was disposed of under Exhibit P3 judgment, making it clear that petitioner shall be considered for regular selection, provided he is also sponsored by the Employment Exchange. Petitioner now approaches this Court for a direction to the respondents to consider his claim for regular selection to the post of Hospital Attender Gr.II in the next regular selection process. W.P ( C) No.16209 of 2008 2 Petitioner could be considered for regular selection only if he is sponsored by the Employment Exchange. This aspect has been made clear in Exhibit-P3 judgment. At present there does not seem to be any reason why the Employment Officer should not sponsor the name of the petitioner. I make it clear the mere fact that the petitioner is engaged on daily wages shall not be taken as a reason by the Employment Officer not to sponsor the name of the petitioner for regular selection to the post of Scavenger, if otherwise the petitioner is eligible to be sponsored. Petitioner is at liberty to bring this fact to the notice of the concerned Employment Officer and obviously once it is done and the petitioner's name is sponsored, respondents herein are bound to consider the petitioner also in terms of the directions of this Court in Exhibit-P3 judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.16209 of 2008 2 W.P ( C) No.16209 of 2008 2
