RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: NIL. //TRUE COPY// V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.20827 of 2006 ------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner claims to be working as a Hospital Attendant Grade II. She was originally engaged for a period of 179 days from 28.1.2005. According to the petitioner, she has been continuing thereafter without break. Therefore, the petitioner has approached this court seeking regularisation of her services as a Hospital Attendant on the premise that she is continuing in service even as on date. 2. In the counter affidavit filed by the 1st respondent, it is stated that the petitioner was originally appointed for 179 days by Ext.P1 order and her services came to an end on 18.8.2005. The petitioner was thereafter engaged on daily wages. 3. In my view, if the petitioner has a case that she is entitled for regularisation of her services after re-engagement, she may move the Government in this regard. W.P.(C).NO.20827/06 :: 2 :: In the result, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to file an appropriate representation before the first respondent pointing out the details of her engagement and her eligibility. If this is done within a period of one month from today, the first respondent-Government shall consider the same and take a decision thereon within two months thereafter, in the light of Vasanthy v. State of Kerala {2006(1) KLT 288}. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ /true copy//
