No.3239/2009-I ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 19th day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Mazdoor Watcher in the Forest Department. He was appointed temporarily and it is pointed out that the wages was being paid on a monthly basis. But, there were some interrupted payments which compelled the petitioner to file a representation as per Ext.P1. It is also pointed out that the petitioner and his association has been making representation to the respondents to regularise their service and the second respondent has sent a letter to all territorial Forest Conservators, Wild Life Forest Conservators and Social Forest Conservators directing to intimate the details of temporary Mazdoor Watchers in order to place before the Government to consider their requests for regularisation. Ext.P2 is the said communication. 2. Seeking for appropriate reliefs, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submitted that wages have already been paid which is not disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Therefore, what remains is only the claim for regularisation. Evidently, by Ext.P2, the details have been collected to be forwarded to the Government. W.P.(C). No.3239/2009 -:2:- Therefore, it is upto the second respondent to take appropriate action in the matter and if a report has not been forwarded to the Government, the same will be forwarded expeditiously. If the matter has already reached the Government then the Government will take a decision within six months from the date of receipt of the copy of this Judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
