The petitioner, who was appointed as a Contingent employee in the second respondent–School, seeks a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not regularizing his service in terms of G.O.Ms.No.98 Education, dated 08.04.1993. The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as a Contingent employee long back as on 21.12.1992 and he was discharging his duties to the utmost satisfaction of his superiors. His grievance is that, the very similarly placed employees have already been regularised, whereas his case has remained unconsidered. During the course of arguments, the learned counsel for the petitioner sought to place reliance on the judgment of this Court in W.P.No.21260 of 1996 dated 17.10.1997,wherein, this Court, after taking into consideration the applicability of G.O.Ms.No.98 dated 08.04.1993, disposed of the same, directing the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioners in terms thereof and pass appropriate orders. Having considered the submissions made on either side and also in view of the directions already issued by this Court in W.P.No.21260 of 1996, this writ petition is allowed directing the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner, in terms of the G.O.Ms.No.98, dated 08.04.1993 and pass appropriate orders, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
