KURIAN JOSEPH , J ================================== W.P.(C) NO. 547 OF 2005 ================================== Dated this the 19th day of July, 2007. JUDGMENT The writ petition is filed with the following prayers: i. Declare the provisional service of petitioners as regularised service and also to declare that they are entitled to get increment and other service benefits on the basis of the regularisation of service and seniority may be fixed on that basis. ii. issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P25 to 44. iii. direct the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P45. 2. It is stated that in the case of similarly situated persons, regularisation has already been effected pursuant to Ext.P22 and P23 judgment. If that be so, there is no point in discriminating the petitioner. There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Exts.P25 to P44 and 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P45 and take appropriate action in the light of Exts. P22 and P23 and extend the benefits given to the similarly situated persons covered by the judgment to the petitioners herein also. It is also made clear that the petitioner shall be granted eligible W.P.(C). NO. 547/2007 : 2 : consequential service benefits. The needful as above shall be done within three months of the date of production of a copy of the judgment by the petitioners. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
