No.18099 OF 1993 ORDER: The petitioner invokes the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondent to absorb the services of the petitioner as Section Writer/Typist/Data Entry Operator with regular scales of pay. The petitioner asserts that he possesses the requisite educational qualification of Intermediate apart from the qualifications as Typist, and therefore, he is entitled for consideration of his case for absorption as a Typist in a regular vacancy. It appears that the petitioner is being continued as a Typist under the interim orders granted by this Court and the respondents are likely to take up the issue of regularization of those employees who were similarly situated as that of the petitioner. In such view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the case of the writ petitioner for absorption as a Typist in the regular vacancy in accordance with rules. It shall be open to the respondents to consider all the aspects by duly taking the qualifications possessed by the petitioner into consideration and take an appropriate decision in this regard as expeditiously as possible. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________________ B. SUDERSHAN REDDY, J Date:23-09-2004. PV To 1.
