(C) No.31648/2008 and connected cases which reads as follows: “Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Government appearing for the respondents. 2. Common question arise in these writ petitions. They were therefore heard together and are being disposed of by this common judgment. 3. The petitioners are Junior Public Health Nurses Grade-I. They have filed these writ petitions aggrieved by the failure of the respondents to depute them to undergo the Female Health Supervisory Training Course conducted in various centres. Pursuant to the interim orders passed by this Court in these writ petitions, the petitioners have been permitted to under go the course. Having regard to the facts set out in these writ petitions, I am of the opinion that their admission to the training course should be treated as regular. These writ petitions are accordingly disposed of with the direction that in the event of the petitioners successfully completing the course, their admission to the Female Health Supervisory Training Course shall be treated as regular and they will be entitled to all consequential benefits.” The learned Government Pleader agrees that the issue is so covered. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of in terms of the said judgment. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE //True copy// shg/- P.A. TO JUDGE
