THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------ WP(C) No.26952 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated, this the 27th day of October, 2009 ------------------------------ J U D G M E N T The petitioners are working as part time sweepers under the 1st respondent. Their claim is for regularisation of their service. According to the petitioners, they have filed Exts.P4 & P5 representations seeking regularisation before the 1st respondent. There was no response, and therefore, they have again filed Exts.P6 & P7 representations before the 1st respondent, which also have not been responded so far. According to the petitioners, in a case of similarly situated persons, regularisation has already been ordered. They are referring to Exts.P1 to P3 in support of this contention. 2. As at present, since the aforesaid representations are pending consideration of the 1st respondent, I feel the grievance of the petitioners can be redressed, if the 1st respondent is directed to consider their claim. 3. Having due regard to the precedents that are relied on by the petitioners, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st WP(C) No.26952/2009 -2- respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P6 & P7, in the light of Exts.P1 to P3 as well. Orders on Exts.P6 & P7 shall be passed as above as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. The petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment, before the 1st respondent for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
