Keeping in view the nature of relief claimed and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself. The petitioner was appointed in the respondent-department on daily wages basis in the year 1988. He continued to work till he was served with a retrenchment notice in May, 2004. The said notice was challenged by the petitioner in CWP No. 9340 of 2004. The said writ petition came to be disposed of vide order dated 18.9.2004 with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for regularization and if, the petitioner is found entitled to regularization, consequential benefits be granted to him. Consequent upon the aforesaid direction, the case of the petitioner has been considered vide order dated 4.1.2005 (Annexure P-1). From the aforesaid order it appears that the petitioner has been found entitled to regularization w.e.f. 1.2.1996. In view of the award passed by CWP. No. 6184 of 2010 -2- the Labour Court, the case of the petitioner was forwarded for consideration. The Divisional Conservator of Forest, Rohtak, Forest Division Rohtak, however, vide order dated 16.10.2006 ordered regularization of the services of the petitioner w.e.f. 1.10.2003 instead of 1.2.1996. It is against this order that the petitioner has filed the present writ petition. Petitioner has filed a representation (Annexure P-3) and also served a legal notice (Annexure P-4) but no decision has been taken thereon till date. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would be satisfied, if, respondents are directed to take decision on the representation/legal notice served by the petitioner. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.2 to take decision on the representation/legal notice served by the petitioner in the light of the order dated 4.1.2005 for the regularization of the petitioner w.e.f. 1.2.1996 as recommended by the Divisional Forest Officer Hisar within a period of three months from the date certified copy of this order is served upon the said respondent.
