The petitioner submits that, the right of such persons for regular appointment has been recognised by Ext.P3 judgment. Pursuant thereto the respondents have prepared a seniority list of persons to be regularised in service. The petitioner is rank No.5 in that list. According to the petitioner, persons up to rank No.4 in the seniority list have already been given regular appointment. The petitioner also seeks regularisation accordingly. The only contention of the learned Government Pleader is that the petitioner could not be given regular appointment only because of want of vacancies. He further submits that, the petitioner would be accommodated as a regular hand in the next arising vacancy. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/-
