WP(C) 6508/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY Heard Mr. Sharma, learned Counsel for the petitioners and Mr. Goswami, learned S tanding Counsel, Water Resource Department, Assam. Mr. Goswami submits that inspite of his best efforts instruction s are not forthcoming. Mr. Sharma reiterates on behalf of the petitioners that t hey are hard pressed financially and that appropriate orders should be passed fo r release of their arrear as well as current salary. According to the petitioners, they are engaged as muster roll wo rkers in the Office of the Executive Engineer, Dibrugarh, Water Resource Divisio n, Dibrugarh from and between 1990 to 1997 and that they had been discharging th eir duties without any blemish for the last 13 to 20 years since then without an y break. However, their services have still not been regularised and their wages /salaries since 2008 have been withheld. Though they have submitted various repr esentations before several authorities the same have not yielded any result. The y are before this Court. In absence of any response from the Department, having regard to the nature of the grievance raised, this Court considers it appropriate to disp ose of this petition by leaving the petitioners at liberty to file a fresh repre sentation along with a copy of this petition with its annexures as well as a cer tified copy of this order before the Executive Engineer, Dibrugarh, Water Resour ce Division, Dibrugarh, who is their immediate superior reiterating their grieva nce and stake their claim for regularisation as well as wages/salaries. Ordered accordingly. The petitioners would, if so advised, submit their representation within a perio d of two weeks herefrom. If the same is done, the aforenamed respondent authorit y i.e. Executive Engineer, Dibrugarh, Water Resource Division, Dibrugarh, would cause the same to be forwarded to the appropriate State Authority for considerat ion and disposal thereof in accordance with law. In doing so, the concerned auth ority would also take into account the representations meanwhile filed by the pe titioners on the issue. As the petitioners have high stakes, the concerned autho rity would afford them due opportunity of hearing before a final decision is tak en on their claim for regularization and salary/wages. In view of the stages inv olved as directed, it is considered needful to provide a time frame. The exercis e as above as a whole should be completed within three months from the date of r eceipt of certified copy of this order. The decision so taken would be communica ted to the petitioners in writing forthwith. The petition stands disposed in the above terms. No costs.
