BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 2737 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 23rd January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are working as Sweeper-cum-Cleaner under the 3rd respondent - the Superintendent of General Hospital, Thalassery on daily wages. According to them, since there is no rank list of the PSC to the post of Sweeper-cum-Cleaner and no appointments have also been made on regular basis through Employment Exchange so far, they may be permitted to continue in service till such regular hands join duty. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. Since the petitioners have been engaged only on daily wages, I am not inclined to issue any direction as such to the 3rd respondent. But taking note of the services rendered by the petitioners, it is open to the 3rd respondent to take appropriate decision in this regard keeping in mind the directions issued by this Court in W.P (C) 24267 of 2007 and connected cases.
