This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
RJ 2.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel for the School and Mass Education Department.
3.
It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the opposite party no.4 by order dated 04.01.2018 has not carried out the decision of the State Government passed in the Resolution No.3368 dated 16.02.2008 as well as proceeding of the meeting held on 29.11.2010 (Annexure-4).
4.
It is submitted that the petitioners have completed six years of service in the year 2014 but have been regularized w.e.f. 1.3.2017, thereby being deprived of three years of the benefits of regularization. The representation filed by the petitioners is at Annexure-10 dated 24.02.2020 (page-58). It is fairly submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that sufficiency of service of the representation in the office of the appropriate authority could not be
// 2 // ascertained from the petitioners, therefore, the petitioners may be permitted to file representation afresh enclosing all the documents sought to be relied upon by the petitioners in support of their claim.
5.
Learned Standing Counsel submits that any representation that would be made shall be considered in accordance with law and disposed of in due time. 6.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioners, if so advised, shall make representation afresh before the appropriate authority enclosing all the relevant documents along with the copy of earlier representation(s). The authority shall do well to consider the representation (s) of the petitioners as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four months from the date of communication of the certified copy of this order along with copies of the representation(s) and documents. The decision that would be rendered by the authority shall be communicated to the petitioners within two weeks. The petitioners shall have the liberty to take appropriate follow-up pursuant to the order that would be rendered by the authority.
7.
It is clarified that this Court has not expressed any opinion regarding merits of the case, in any manner whatsoever.
Issue urgent certified copy as per rules.
