3. Considering the submission and after going through the pleadings and document on record, I find that the petitioner who is continuing for long time and their claim does not appear to be frivolous in the light of the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Uma Devi (Supra) and
circular issued by the State Government from time to time. Therefore, in these circumstances, it would be expedient in the interest of justice to dispose off this petition with a direction to respondent No. 4 to take appropriate decision to consider the claim of the petitioner and take final decision thereon within a period of four months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. In case, the matter is required for approval or sanction of the higher authority, the same shall also be expedited. Sd/- (Goutam Bhaduri) Judge ashok
