JUDGMENT The petitioners are working under the second respondent, viz. Kerala Forest Research Institute, Peechi. The first petitioner joined service as Helper-cum-Gardener and the second petitioner joined service as Helper (Engg.). Presently, the second petitioner is working as an Electrician. Originally, they were employed on daily wages and subsequently they were appointed on contract basis. It is pointed out that they have been engaged from time to time and have completed long years of service. It is pointed out that they have no other opportunity to get a fresh employment. In these circumstances, by Ext.P6 addressed to the second respondent, they have sought for regularisation in service. It is further pointed out that in the case of some other daily wage workers, by Exts.P7 to P9 they have been granted regularisation in service. 2. Heard learned Standing Counsel for the second respondent also. It is pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel that it is the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment who has to take a decision in the matter. Therefore, learned counsel for the petitioner has wpc 5940/2009 2 filed an application to implead them also. 3. The writ petition is therefore disposed of directing the additional third respondent to consider the case of regularisation of the petitioners in accordance with similar orders, if any. For enabling the additional third respondent to consider the claim,the petitioners will file a representation within two weeks from today and on receipt of the same, the third respondent will take appropriate action after getting a report from the second respondent also, within a further period of three months thereafter.
