BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V. GIRI, J. ------------------------------- W.P(C) No. 6359 OF 2008 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioners are physically challenged persons presently working as nursing helpers on temporary basis at the District Hospital, Kollam. Admittedly they are appointed for a temporary basis for a period of 179 days on daily wage of Rs.100/-. According to them, they are now out of job. They seek re- engagement. Reference is made to Ext.P2 Government Order in this regard. Ext.2 order per se does not apply to the petitioners. But it is always open to the respondents to sympathetically consider the case of physically handicapped persons. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioners to file a representation before 3rd respondent, in which case the 3rd respondent shall look into the same and take a decision thereon, within two months from the date of receipt of the representation.
