Common questions arise in these writ petitions. They were therefore heard together and are being disposed of by this common judgment. 3. The petitioners are Junior Public Health Nurses Grade-I. They have filed these writ petitions aggrieved by the failure of the respondents to depute them to undergo the Female Health Supervisory Training Course conducted in various centres. Pursuant to the interim orders passed by this Court in these writ petitions, the petitioners have been permitted to under go the course. Having regard to the facts set out in these writ petitions, I am of the opinion that their admission to the training course should be treated as regular. These writ petitions are accordingly disposed of with the direction that in the event of the petitioners successfully completing the course, their W.P.(C) No. 31648/08 & con. cases 2 admission to the Female Health Supervisory Training Course shall be treated as regular and they will be entitled to all consequential benefits.
