CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S.SANDHAWALIA

Present:

Mr. Surinder Kumar Daaria, Advocate, for the petitioners.

G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral) The petitioners seek regularization according to the policies dated 18.03.1996 and 01.10.2003 (Annexures P-1 and P-2) alongwith all consequential benefits.

The pleaded case of the petitioners is that petitioner no. 1 joined the respondent-department in the month of July, 1982 and petitioner no. 2 joined in July, 1992 and have been working as Labourers with the Forest Division, Jind. Their claim is that their services have not been regularized whereas, the juniors namely Rohtas, Balwan and Ramavtar, as mentioned in para no. 7, have been regularized. Reliance has been placed upon orders passed by this Court in CWP No. 13039 of 2015, Krishan and others vs. State of Haryana decided on 20.09.2016 (Annexure P-4) and CWP No. 5648 of 2014, Manohar vs. State of Haryana and others, decided on 23.01.2017 (Annexure P-5). It is submitted that they are also entitled for the similar relief.

Counsel submits that a legal notice dated 04.01.2017 (Annexure P-3) has already been served upon the respondents but the same Shivani Gupta 2017.10.31 10:56 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CWP No. 23484 of 2017 has not been decided. Counsel further submits that he would be satisfied if the said legal notice is decided within a time bound frame. Notice of motion.

Ms. Shruti Jain Goyal, AAG Haryana accepts notice. Copy of the writ petition has been supplied to her.

Keeping in view the above, this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose would be served to ask the respondents to file reply as the decision making process is still pending.

Accordingly, in view of the above recorded contention and keeping in view the fact that the matter is still pending consideration, the present writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 2 to take a decision on the legal notice dated 04.01.2017 (Annexure P-3) within a period of 4 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. In case any adverse order is to be passed, a reasoned order be passed and conveyed to the petitioner.
