JUDGMENT The relief sought for by the petitioners is essentially for an entitlement for regularization of service with effect from 19-9-1990 in the category of Lower Division Clerks on the basis of the decision of the Apex Court in Jacob's case [1990 (2) KLT 673]. This is impermissible in view of the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.776/2004. Hence, the writ petition fails. Dismissed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/-
