Considering the limited grievance of the petitioners, this Court does not intend to keep the Writ Petition pending, rather ends of justice would meet if the Writ Petition is disposed off with a direction to the respondent No.1 to take a decision in respect of the claim of the petitioners. That while doing so, the respondent No.1 may also call in for any other circulars which are applicable so far as the Daily Wage Worker are concerned, issued by the Finance Department pertaining to the subject matter. 6.

Let an appropriate decision be taken in this regard within a period of 90 days from today.
