An affidavit in reply has been filed on behalf of the Panchayat but despite of service on them no one appears to oppose the petition. On behalf of the state, Learned Counsel submits that since the petitioners are appointed before 4.6.1963, it is for the Panchayat to consider their claim for regularisation against the sanctioned posts. In view of the stand taken by the State Government, the petition is partly allowed with directions to the respondent no.2 Dhariyadhar Nagar Panchayat represented through its Secretary to consider the case of the present petitioners for regularisation of their services against the available sanctioned posts, in accordance with law. With the above directions, the petition stands disposed of without any orders as to costs. (D.M.Dharmadhikari, CJ) jitu
