As per the pleadings, the petitioner is working as a casual sweeper in the 4th respondent bank since 1995. He completed 12 years of service without any break. According to the petitioner, although he was given assurance of regularisation of service, his services have not been regularised till date.

(ii) to issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to regularise the petitioner in service in 4th respondent bank. (iii) To issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to refrain from terminating the services of the petitioner from 4th respondent's bank.” 2. No counter affidavit has been filed by any of the respondents in the writ petition. 3. The petitioner has filed Ext.P3 representation in this regard before the 1st respondent. Now the petitioner has almost 16 years of service including the period during which he continued in service on the basis of the interim order passed by this Court. In the above w.p.c.28695/07 - : 2 :- circumstances, I direct the 1st respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for regular appointment taking into account the 16 years of service put in by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. Until the 1st respondent passes orders in the matter, the petitioner's service shall not be terminated. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
