P.C. 1. Seven petitioners have filed this petition seeking regularization of their services as they were working as university teachers from 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively. Petitioner Nos.4 and 6 have already resigned. It is submitted that during pendency of this petition, the Government has passed 2 an order directing the University - Respondent No.4 to regularise the services of the petitioners subject to roster and availability of vacancies and submit a report to the Government. This order was passed on 25.4.2007. The University - Respondent No.4 informed the Government that they did not comply the order as the writ petition is pending in this Court. Therefore in a way this writ petition has not served the petitioners but has served the respondents. Since the Government has already directed the University - Respondent No.4 to regularise the services of the petitioners subject to conditions in the order referred to above and the university - respondent No.4 has not shown any disinclination to regularize the services, We, therefore, dispose of this petition directing the University - Respondent No.4 to regularise the services of the petitioners subject to availability of the posts and subject to roster maintained by the University - Respondent No.4. The relief granted in this petition will be applicable to the petitioners other than Petitioner Nos.4 and 6.
