1. Grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner was appointed as Parttime Sweeper on 26.11.2009. It is contended that though the petitioner has rendered more than 10 years of service but he has not been absorbed as Full-time employee. It is stated that as per Annexure P-5, one Sita Bai has been absorbed in the establishment as Full-time employee and likewise the other persons have also been given the said benefit. The petitioner stated that he has rendered more than 10 years of service despite that he is still continued on the post of Part-time Sweeper. It is further stated that the petitioner claims parity as has been granted to the other likewise persons who have been granted the status of Full-time employee and who were at the same footing that of the petitioner. The

petitioner contends therefore the petitioner has made a representation to the District Education Officer, Jashpur by Annexure P-3 on 16.10.2019; however, the same has not been decided. Therefore, considering the parity and status of the petitioner with that of others, the representation of the petitioners may be decided.

2. Taking into such fact, prima facie, it appears that the petitioner though was appointed in 2009 he is still working as Part-time Sweeper. As it has been alleged that the services are being rendered on full-time basis and likewise other persons have been granted the benefit of status of full-time employee, the petitioner is given liberty to make a fresh representation within a period of three weeks to the District Education Officer, Jashpur, who in turn shall decide the claim of the petitioner within a further period of 45 days from the date of receipt of the copy of representation.

3. With such observation, the petition stands disposed off. Sd/- (Goutam Bhaduri) Judge Rao
