Petitioner refers to the fact that after undergoing training she has served in Leprosy Control Unit, Chalissery from 18.10.1989 continuously. According to her, other persons who were also appointed on provisional basis along with her and subsequent to her have been regularised under Exhibit-P8. 2. Petitioner has submitted Exhibit-P9 before the Government. I have also considered Exhibit-P8. If the petitioner has been working continuously since 18.10.1989 and juniors to petitioner have also been regularised, obviously petitioner's claim will have to be considered by the Government with reference to the fact that similarly situated persons have been regularised. I also note the statement in Exhibit-P8 that all the existing leprosy Health Inspectors are entitled to be regularised in the light of Exhibit-P8. W.P ( C) No. 32362 of 2007 2 In the circumstances, after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to look into Exhibit P9 and take a decision thereon in the light of the observations contained above and taking note of Exhibit-P8.
