BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 25169 of 2007 -------------------------- Dated this the 21st January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is working as a Gardner on daily wages under the 4th respondent . He says that he has been engaged on daily wages from 19.9.1995. His plea for regularisation in service has been turned down by the Institute of Management, as evidenced by Exhibit P3. Petitioner points out that, as per Exhibit P4, Government had accorded sanction to regularise the services of three daily wage workers, namely, one Sanitary Worker and two Watchman. This was not considered at the time of passing Exhibit P3. It seems that out of desperation, petitioner made a representation to the Chief Minister and the same has been forwarded to the 4th respondent. It further seems that under Exhibit P5, the 4th respondent had intimated the Government that they are ready to absorb the petitioner provided the Government accords sanction for the same on humanitarian considerations. Petitioner approached this Court seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Exhibit P4 and W.P ( C) No. 25169 of 2007 2 convey its decision thereon, in accordance with law. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the 1st respondent shall consider the request made under Exhibit P4 and convey its decision thereon, keeping in mind, the observations of the Supreme Court in para 53 of the judgment in State of Karnataka Vs. Ms.Umadevi [2006(4) SCC 1] Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition and a copy of the judgment of the Supreme Court in State of Karnataka Vs. Ms.Umadevi [2006 (4) SCC 1], before the 1st respondent, within a period of one month from today and thereupon, needful shall be done by the 1st respondent, within two months thereafter. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No. 25169 of 2007 2 K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER W.P ( C) No. 25169 of 2007 2 25th May, 2007
