No ---- PRESENT: NONE FOR THE PETITIONER. NONE FOR RESPONDENTS NO.1 & 2. MR.VIKAS SINGH, ADVOCATE FOR RESPONDENTS NO.3 TO 5. K.KANNAN, J.(ORAL) 1. The writ petition contains a challenge to the award passed by the Labour Court directing the reinstatement of services of persons who were arrayed as respondents No.2 to 4, who had been appointed as Sweepers of part-time basis. The order dated 6.6.1991, records the statement of the counsel on behalf of the petitioner that all the private respondents have been working on part-time basis. The issue of regularization in service must invariably be governed by recruitment rules. Counsel for the respondents-private workmen is present. There is no representation for the petitioner. Having regard to the subsequent event that they were all taken back in service, the working status will depend on the manner of engagement that has come about since the time of their initial engagement and the subsequent undertaking given by the petitioner that they would be paid the wages on the same rates as persons similarly CWP No.9503 of 1987 -2- employed. The writ petition challenging the award has become infructuous and the status of the respondents will be left open for adjudication if ever such need arises. 2. The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. March 18, 2011 (K.KANNAN) Gulati JUDGE
