This writ petition has been filed to direct the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 14.06.2023 and to consequently direct the 3rd respondent to regularise the services of the petitioner and to pay all the benefits of permanent workmen to the petitioner.

2.It is the case of the petitioner that he was appointed as Conductor in the respondent Corporation by order of the 3rd respondent dated 07.01.2008, on temporary basis.

In this regard, the petitioner has also submitted his representation on 14.06.2023 to the Corporation. Since the same was not considered, the present writ

petition has been filed.
