At this stage of hearing of the writ petition, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners had pointed out that the Supreme Court by its order, dated 8.9.1994, in Civil Appeal Nos.2352 to 2385 of 1992, while setting aside the order passed by the Tribunal, had held as follows: "As mentioned above 186 of the respondents have already been re-absorbed in the Revenue Department. It would not be in the interest of justice to dislodge them again. Despite our setting aside the Tribunal's judgment, we direct that they shall continue to remain in the Revenue Department regularly. So far as the remaining 42 persons are concerned, as and when the vacancies are available in the Revenue Department, they shall be re-absorbed in the same way as 186 persons have earlier been absorbed." Therefore, it would suffice that if this Court is pleased to direct the first respondent to dispose of the representation, dated 27.06.1995, submitted on behalf of the petitioners for their absorption in the revenue department in view of the order, dated 8.9.1994, passed by the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal Nos.2352 to 2385 of 1992. 3. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents has no objection for this Court passing such an order. 4. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the petitioners as well as the respondents, the first respondent is directed to consider the representation, dated 27.06.1995, in view of the order passed by the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal Nos.2352 to 2385 of 1992, on 8.9.1994, and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
