JUDGMENT
Heard the counsel for the petitioners and the standing
counsel for the respondents.
2. The petitioners are Part Time Sweepers working in
the Devaswom Works Department. In the normal course they
are entitled to be promoted to the full time posts and
thereafter to the post of Lascar. In the Devaswom Wing
there are better promotional avenues than the Works
Department, but the petitioners are not given appointment
in the Devaswom wing. On the other hand, those working in
the Devaswom wing are given inter unit transfer to the
Devaswom Works Department thereby affecting even the meagre
promotional avenues available to the Part Time Sweepers
like the petitioners. Against the above action of the
respondent-Board, this writ petition has been filed.
3. In the statement submitted on behalf of the
respondent-Board it is stated that a list of Part Time
Sweepers in the Maramath wing of the Devaswom Board is
maintained and that persons who are working in the Devaswom
wing will not be transferred to the Devaswom Works
WPC 26648/2005 2
Department as apprehended by the petitioners. The above
statement is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of.
