(Judgment of the Court was delivered by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.) The issue is covered by the judgment of the Full Bench in M.Sivappa vs. State of Tamil Nadu, reported in 2024 (2) CTC 1, in which one of us was a party (R.Subramanian, J). The learned Single Judge has taken note 2/5

of the fact that the petitioner would be covered by G.O.No.22 dated 28.02.2006 and has directed regularization of the services of the petitioner with effect from 01.07.1992, i.e. completion of 10 years from 01.07.1982.

2. Hence we see no reason to interfere with the order of the Writ Court, the Writ Appeal fails and it is accordingly dismissed. Needless to say, the petitioner will be entitled to all benefits flowing out of such regularization including monetory benefits which shall be computed and paid within a period of twelve (12) weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of the order. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
