They seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to regularize their services in terms of the decision taken in the Full House Meeting of the respondent-Corporation held on 27.12.2004 vide Agenda Item No.20 (Annexure P3) as well as keeping in view a Division Bench decision dated July 28, 2000 of this Court in CWP No. 5617 of 1999 (Amarjit Singh & Ors. v.

The above-stated claim has also been raised by the petitioners vide legal notice dated 28.12.2010 (Annexure P6) also but it appears that the same has not been considered by the respondents.
