TRUE COPY P.A. TO JUDGE TSS T.R. Ramachandran Nair, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.15005/2006-J ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 23rd day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as a Driver under the second respondent from the year 2000 onwards on daily wages. The petitioner submits that the question of regularising the service of temporary employees have been contemplated but the same has not been finalised. Accordingly, the petitioner seeks for a direction the first respondent to regularise the service of the petitioner as Driver in the second respondent's office. 2. In the counter affidavit the stand taken is that there is no sanctioned post of Driver and, therefore, at this stage the question of considering regularisation does not arise. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner produced before me for perusal a letter No.B6.1731/07 dated 11/07/2007, of the Project Director, Poverty Alleviation Department, Wayanad to the Village Development Commissioner, Thiruvananthapuram seeking to sanction one additional post of Driver. It is further submitted that the matter is still pending before the first respondent. 4. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to take a decision as regards the question of sanction of an W.P.(C) No.15005/2006 -:2:- additional post of Driver under the second respondent and the plea for regularisation made by the petitioners. Appropriate decision will be taken within three months from the date of receipt of the copy of this judgment. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
