To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ALOK SINGH, J. (ORAL) 1. Undisputedly, petitioners were working in Industrial Train- ing Institute on contract basis. By way of present petition, petitioners are seeking writ of mandamus directing the respondents to allow the petitioners to continue working at their respective places of postings and also seeking regular pay scales of the posts to the petitioners against which they are working. C.W.P. No.11839 of 1999 -2- 2. It has not been brought on record that posts were duly advertised before appointing the petitioners on contractual basis. Moreover, in view of the fact that petitioners accepted the terms and conditions of the contract, now they can not be permitted to seek regularization of their services or any direction permitting the petition- ers to work continuously in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in the matter of Secy., State of Karnataka vs. Uma Devi and others 2006(4) SCC 1. 3. Learned Counsel for the petitioners states that all the pe- titioners have now become overage, hence, State may be directed to grant them relaxation of the age and to appoint all of them. 4. No such direction can be issued. Petition is devoid of merit, hence, is dismissed. ( ALOK SINGH ) 07th July, 2010 JUDGE ashish
