TO JUDGE KURIAN JOSEPH J. ---------------------------------------------- Writ Petition (Civil) Nos.17686 & 18216 of 2004 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 22nd November, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioners are aggrieved since they are not regularized in service, in the Panchayat schools, against their claim under rule 51-A Chapter XIVA K.E.R. In view of the intervening developments, the only remedy open to the petitioners is to approach the Government, it is submitted. The writ petition is hence disposed of, granting the above liberty to the petitioners. However, it is made clear that in case the petitioners have not been granted their eligible benefits for the period they actually worked, including the vacation salary, which the petitioners claim, there will be a direction to the concerned Educational Officer to look into the grievance and take appropriate action to settle such grievance within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment.
