BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 33477 of 2004 -------------------------- Dated this the 13th December, 2007 J U D G M E N T According to the petitioner he was working as Caretaker in the Ranipuram Tourist Centre, Panathaday Village in Hosdurg Taluk. He contends that after his appointment as Caretaker he is looking after and managing the affairs of the said Tourist Centre. His grievance was that he has not been regularised in service and he was not paid salary. The issue normally came to be considered by the Director of Tourism, the 2nd respondent herein, under Exhibit-P8 order by which petitioner's claim was rejected. It has been found in Exhibit-P8 that there was no sanctioned post against which the petitioner could have been engaged or appointed and therefore it is not possible to accept the claim of the petitioner. I do not find any infirmity in Exhibit-P8. The petitioner has a grievance regarding non-payment of wages which is otherwise due to him and also in relation to Exhibit-P8 order. It is open to him to approach the Government . Subject to these observations, the writ petition is dismissed. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER 25th May, 2007
