ORDER

No.10746 of 2007, seeking direction for regularisation as per G.O.Ms.No.878, dated 15.05.1981 which provides for regularisation of all temporary employees appointed after 01.04.1981. Further, directions were issued by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.267, dated 22.12.1999 empowering the District Collector to regularise those persons who have worked more than 10 years in a temporary capacity. This Court, by an order dated 21.01.2008 directed the District Collector, Thanjavur to pass appropriate orders regularising the services of the petitioner, if he satisfies the requirements of the above Government Orders, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. 2.The first respondent passed the order regularising the services of the petitioner with effect from 13.12.2008.
