ORDER

The restricted prayer sought for in this writ petition is to consider the claim of the petitioners for regularization of service on completion of 10 years of NMR/Casual Labourers services as per G.O.2D.No.29 Public Works Department (C2) dated 09.02.2016.

2. The learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioners contended that the claim of regularization in respect of similarly placed persons were considered by the Government and the arrears were also paid and the case of the writ petitioners alone are not considered despite the length of services rendered by the writ petitioners.

3. This Court is inclined to consider the grievance of the writ petitioners to the extend of directing the Respondents to consider the representation of the writ petitioners submitted on 28th March 2017 on merits and in accordance with Law, within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this Order.

4. It is needless to state that the claim of the writ petitioners shall be considered, provided they are qualified for regularization as per the Rules in force.

5. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. However, there is no order as to costs.
