                W.P.(C) No. 3726 of 2009
           ---------------------------------------------------
           Dated this the 11th day of March, 2009

                             JUDGMENT

The petitioner was appointed under Rule 9(a)(i) of the KS

& SSR, as Hospital Attendant Grade II at the Taluk Head

Quarters Hospital, Karunagappally, way back on 11.06.1999.

She was appointed for a period of 180 days and on completion of

179 days she was terminated. The petitioner had another spell

of appointment as Hospital Attendant Grade II which was made

by the Superintendent of Taluk Head Quarters, Karunagappally

on the advice of the Block Panchayat on contract basis which

was made through Employment Exchange.

2. The Government by Ext.P6 order dated 16.11.2007,

conferred the benefit of regularisation for provisional employees

in the cadre of Hospital Assistant Grade II, who were engaged

through Employment Exchanges and were continuing on the

basis of various judgments of this Court and the Apex Court. A

list of such employees are appended by the said order. The

petitioner is seeking a similar benefit. Going by Ext.P6, the

benefit is conferred only on a class of employees who are

appointed on provisional basis but have been allowed to

continue on the basis of various judgments. Their total number is

908. It is also stated that a Special Leave Application pending

before the Apex Court in the matter will be withdrawn before

regularising them. Obviously, the petitioner will not be eligible

to get regularisation on the basis of Ext.P6, since she was not in

service as on the date of order and there is no other judgment

allowing her to continue. Hence no relief can be granted in this

writ petition.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner

submitted that petitioner has filed Ext.P5 representation before

the first respondent for appropriate orders in the matter. It is up

to the first respondent to examine the matter in the light of

specific terms of Ext.P6.

In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the

first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P5 within a period of

two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment

and communicate the same to the petitioner.
