The relief sought for in the Writ Petition is to direct the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner as panchayat Assistant and consequently appoint him as Junior Assistant in the Rural Development Department as per G.O.Ms.No.52 Rural Development Department dated 20.3.1998.

2. The Writ Petitioner states that he was appointed as a part time Panchayat Assistant at Kanur panchayat, from 1.1.1998 in retirement vacancy. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that though the petitioner was appointed as a part time employee initially, due to passage of long time, his services would have been regularized by now.

3. If the services of the petitioner is already regularized, then the petitioner may not have any grievance. However, regularization cannot be claimed as a matter of right, as recruitment to public posts has to be made by following the recruitment rules in force, by providing equal opportunities to all to participate in the selection process.

4. In view of the fact that the Writ Petitioner was appointed as part time Panchayat Assistant during the year 1998, this Court is not inclined to consider the relief as sought for in the present Writ Petition, at this point of time. If the petitioner has any grievance, it is left open to him to approach the Competent Authority in the manner know to law.

5. With this observation, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, W.P.M.P.No.33814 of 2005 is also dismissed.
