Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 12/12/2018

1. The relief sought for by the petitioner in the present writ petition is for an appropriate direction to the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner under the respondents.

2. The contention of the petitioner is that the petitioner has been initially appointed on 01.09.1996 and since then, the petitioner continues to work as a daily wage employee under the respondents. According to him, he has by now put more than 20 years of service and therefore the petitioner should have been regularized in accordance with the policy of the State Government dated 05.03.2008 and also the subsequent memo of the Forest Department dated 17.06.2008.

3. The petitioner further submits that on an earlier occasion in the year 2012 the case of the petitioner was in fact considered and was also found suitable for regularization, but for some reasons, the order of regularization could not be passed.

4. Given the aforesaid factual matrix of the case and taking into consideration the length of service of the petitioner without commenting on the merits of the case, so far as entitlement of the petitioner is concerned, this Court is of the opinion that ends of justice would serve if the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents No.3 & 4 to consider the case of the petitioner for regularization, taking into consideration the policy decision of the State Government dated 05.03.2008, so far as regularization is concerned and also all subsequent circulars, including the order of the respondent No.1 dated 17.06.2008 in this regard.

5. Let this exercise be concluded within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order.

6. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition stands disposed off. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Judge Ved
