According to the petitioners, they have been working as Chowkidars in their respective villages.

According to them they had submitted detailed representation to the respondents in that regard which is dated 24.8.2021 (Annexure P-8) but that has not evoked any response, therefore, they have to file the present writ petition.

Keeping in view the nature of the dispute between the parties as well as prayer made by the petitioners, for the purpose of enabling respondents to consider the claim of petitioners and then to take appropriate action, if need be and further to avoid unnecessary litigation, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioners in accordance with law, rules, regulations and instructions on the subject within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of the order and if some action in the matter is warranted then the needful be done in accordance with law.
