Ms. Binu Sharma, PL Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 04/10/2021

1. The limited prayer that the petitioner makes in the present writ petition is that of considering the length of service that the petitioner has served as a Guest Lecturer/Training Officer under the respondent no.4, the petitioner be considered for regularization.

-22. According to the petitioner, he was initially appointed in the year 2008 as a Guest Lecturer/Training Officer and since then he has been continuously working on the said post uninterruptedly and by now he has been put in 13 years of service. Contention of the counsel for the petitioner is that the post against which the petitioner is working is lying vacant at the institute and therefore the respondents should consider regularizing the services of the petitioner taking into account the experience that she has.

3. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the writ petition at this juncture stands disposed of directing the respondents 1 to 3 to take an appropriate decision on the claim of the petitioner for regularization in service under the respondents. Let a decision in this regard be taken at the earliest preferably within an outer limit of 4 months from the date of receipt of this order.

4. It shall be the responsibility of the petitioner to apprise the respondents in respect of the order passed by this Court. In addition, the petitioner would be at liberty to make a fresh representation in respect of her claim.

5. With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Judge Rohit
