The petitioner is an empanelled Driver working in the 1st respondent Corporation since the year 1996 onwards. He sought regularisation in service on the basis of order issued by the State Government, G.O.(MS) No.78/2011/Tran. dated 22.12.2011, since he had completed 10 years of service as on 21.12.2011. But his claim for regularisation was not considered. On enquiry the petitioner was informed that he was not possessing the requisite qualification of 120 duties per year with respect to 10 years experience. According to the petitioner the stand taken by respondents 1 and 2 is not true and correct. The petitioner had produced Ext.P2 details of attendance, which will reveal that the petitioner has got more than 10 years service with 120 duties per year. Under such circumstances the petitioner had submitted Ext.P5 representation before the 2nd respondent requesting to consider his claim for regularisation. Since W.P.(C). No. 11777 of 2014 -2- no action was taken on the basis of the said representation, this writ petition is filed.
2. Heard; standing counsel appearing for respondents 1 & 2. Considering pendency of Ext.P5, interest of justice will be achieved by directing an early consideration of the same.
3. Therefore this writ petition is disposed of by directing the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P5 and to take an appropriate decision on the claim for regularisation, after affording opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner, if necessary. A decision in this regard shall be taken at the earliest possible, at any rate within a period of 2 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
