2. The petitioner herein was initially appointed as a Steno-Typist on 15.07.1988. Due to want of vacancy, the petitioner was ousted from service on 22.07.1988.

their services shall be regularized from the date of their initial appointment without reference to break in service caused due to the delay in passing order of reinstatement in service. Seeking the above said benefits, the petitioner has given a representation to the first respondent on 14.12.2020. Since the same has not been considered, the present writ petition has been filed.
