SRI.M.V.MATHAI MUTHIRENTHY, SC, KWA SRI.SAJAN MANNALI, SC, KWA THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.S.Radhakrishnan & Antony Dominic, JJ. ======================== W.A.No.738 of 2002 ======================== Dated this the 11th day of June, 2007. JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan,J. Original Petition was preferred by the appellants seeking a writ of certiorari to quash Exts.P5 and P10 and for a mandamus directing the respondents to readmit the petitioners on duty and regularise their services with effect from 10.4.1986, 2.4.1986 and 1.4.1986 respectively and for other consequential reliefs. Learned single Judge found no reason to interfere with the Original Petition. A decision in Jacob v. Kerala Water Authority – 1990(2) K.L.T. 673 was cited to show that the services of workers employed by the Authority between 1st April, 1984 and 4th August, 1986 will be regularised if they possess the requisite qualifications for the post prescribed on the date of appointment of the concerned worker. Admittedly, petitioners' services have been terminated much before the date of the decision of the Apex Court. Hence the direction for regularisation does not cover persons like the petitioners. Petitioners have not satisfied the WA 738/02 -: 2 :- conditions contained in G.O.(MS) No.5/91/LAD dated 5.1.1991. We find no ground to entertain this Writ Appeal and the same is dismissed.
