THIS WRIT APPEAL IS FILED UNDER SECTION 4 OF THE KARNATAKA HIGH COURT ACT, 1961, PRAYING TO ALLOW THE WRIT APPEAL BY SETTING ASIDE THE ORDER PASSED BY THE LEARNED SINGLE JUDGE DATED 19.09.2018 IN W.P.NO.18752/2014 AND ETC.
THIS APPEAL COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, CHIEF JUSTICE DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
JUDGMENT The learned Additional Government Advocate take notice for the fourth respondent.
2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant.
3. There is already a direction issued by the learned Single Judge that the recommendation for regularisation which is pending with the State Government will be decided by the State Government. Even the endorsement at Annexure-D which was subject matter of challenge in the writ petition issued by the first respondent records that the said respondent is awaiting instructions of the Government on regularisation of the daily wage employees.
4. The learned counsel appearing for the appellant submits that as the issue is pending with the Government for a long time, a time bound schedule should be fixed for deciding the same.
5. The said request is reasonable which deserves to be accepted.
6. Accordingly, we pass the following order:
(i) The impugned order is confirmed;
(ii) However, we direct the State Government to take appropriate decision on the issue of regularisation of the services of the appellant as expeditiously as possible and in any event within a period of two months from today.
(iii) The appeal is accordingly disposed of.
The pending interlocutory application does not survive for consideration and stands disposed of.
