5.

While the impugned order insofar as it relates to terminating the services of the petitioner is not interfered with, the writ application is disposed of directing the opposite party authorities to consider the case of the petitioner for regularization of his services having regard to the relevant provisions of the 2019 rules by treating him as having completed six years of service as Contractual Pharmacist under the RKS Scheme continuously as on the date of commencement of the said Rules. The above exercise shall be completed within a period of three months from the date of
