2.Mr.V.Elangovan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, would submit that the petitioner has been selected and appointed as Junior Assistant in Panchayat Union, Gingee, and for want of State Level Scrutiny Committee's enquiry report pending to be received by the 4th respondent, her services had not been regularised and the petitioner, in this regard, has also submitted a representation dated 25.08.2020 to the 1st respondent and despite receipt and acknowledgment, no response has been received so far and therefore, she is constrained to approach this Court by filing this writ petition.
