JUDGMENT The petitioner had been working based on a contract, as Ambient Air Sampling Worker at NAMP stations of the Kerala State Pollution Control Board. He was getting Rs.170/- per day as remuneration. On an earlier occasion, when the petitioner was faced with termination, he approached this court by filing Writ Petition No.15597/2008 wherein, an interim order was passed. But the matter became infructuous, since the period of contract expired. The complaint raised by the petitioner is that in spite of the experience gained by him, he is not being given a fresh lease of agreement. He is left without any avocation also. Seeking for appropriate consideration by the respondents for engaging the petitioner again, he has filed Ext.P2 before the third respondent. 2. Heard learned Standing Counsel for the respondents also. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner prayed that the third respondent may be directed to consider Ext.P2. It is pointed out that the petitioner belongs to a Scheduled Caste and for the last five years, he has been performing the job on a contract basis. WPC 4790/2009 2 4. Since the petitioner has already moved the third respondent by Ext.P2, it is up to the third respondent to consider the same in accordance with law. The same will be done and appropriate communication will be given to the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
