JUDGMENT

In the light of the ratio laid down in Jafarkhan v. K.A. Kochumakkar and Others [2012 (1) KHC 523], the present writ petition is also disposed of on the same lines, applying the ratio laid down by the learned Division Bench in the said decision, thereby quashing Exhibits P5 and P7. Consequently, the respondent is directed to consider the application of the petitioner for regularization in accordance with law, and pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
