RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.20639, 20684 & 21092 OF 2009 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of July, 2009. J U D G M E N T In all these writ petitions, the petitioners are engaged as casual workers in various Agricultural Farms under the Kerala Agricultural University. The petitioners were earlier regularized in service, but that was later cancelled pursuant to the acceptance of the report of the Justice Bhaskaran Nambiar's Commission. Thereafter they continued on casual basis. 2. The case pleaded by the petitioners is that by Exhibit P4, a decision has been taken to regularize the casual workers engaged in various farms. The petitioners therefore seek for a direction to the University to implement Exhibit P4 and for consequential orders. Exhibit P4 is an order dated 08.06.2009 issued by the Government wherein the Government has directed that casual workers in various farms would be regularized as and W.P.(C) Nos.20639/09 & conn. cases 2 when vacancies arise in the regular posts in each farms. 3. This Court had disposed of W.P.(C) No.14436/2009, which is a similar case, after hearing the learned standing counsel for respondents. Circular No.GA/F2/38727/99 dated 26.06.2009 as well as decision of the Executive Committee held on 18.06.2009 was brought to my notice while hearing the said writ petition. It was submitted that directions have been issued to take urgent steps to make all the eligible causal labourers permanent according to the vacancies existing in each unit from 01.06.2009 onwards, observing all rules in this regard. It was also stated that they were also directed that those casual labourers who are retiring from service on 30.06.2009 will also be included. In the light of the above, the directions issued by this Court in the said judgment will govern this case also. The 4th respondent will take appropriate action to implement the directions issued in the circular dated 26.06.2009. Appropriate steps will be finalized in respect of the claim of the petitioners W.P.(C) Nos.20639/09 & conn. cases 3 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. These writ petitions are disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
