ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.2779 OF 2010(V) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that she was working as Part Time Sweeper in the office of the Sub Inspector of Police, Vadakara from 10.7.2001 to July, 31.12.2004. She submits that she was shifted to the office of the Circle Inspector of Police. According to the petitioner, she continued in the office of Circle Inspector thereafter, except for few months, when her sister, the 4th respondent, was engaged. It is stated that subsequently by Ext.P2 a post of Part Time Sweeper was created in the office of the Sub Inspector of Police and that when attempts were made to induct a person from the employment exchange the writ petition was filed seeking regularization. 2. From the counter affidavit filed by the 3rd respondent it is evident that, though the 3rd respondent is disputing the eligibility of the petitioner for the benefit of regularization as ordered in the Government Order No.501/2005 dated 25.11.2005, a proposal in terms of the said Government Order for regularization of the WPC.No.2779 /2010 :2 : service of the petitioner vide order dated 31.3.2009 has been made to the Police Head Quarters. Counter affidavit further discloses that final orders in the matter have not been passed. It is also disclosed from the statements made that during the pendency of this writ petition, another person sponsored by the Employment Exchange has joined as part time sweeper in the office of the Circle Inspector of Police with effect from 5.8.2010. 3. Irrespective of the induction of the new person, fact remains that as at present proposal dated 31.3.2009, made for the regularization of the service of the petitioner is pending consideration of the Police Head Quarters. Necessarily, the proposal has to be considered in terms of the provisions contained in the Government Order dated dated 25.11.2005 and orders will have to be passed. 4. Therefore, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider the proposal mentioned above and place it before the first respondent for orders in terms of the aforesaid Government Order. The aforesaid process shall be completed as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 3 months from the date of receipt of a copy WPC.No.2779 /2010 :3 : of the judgment. 5. Counsel for the petitioner submits that there is existing a vacancy of part time sweeper in the office of the Sub Inspector of Police, Vadakara. If it is so, it is clarified that without prejudice to the contentions if any of the respondents, it will be open to the respondents to consider the petitioner for accommodation against that vacancy. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
