Learned counsel submitted that the petitioner continued to work on the post till September, 1998 but however, his services were orally terminated in the month of October, 1998. 4. Learned counsel has further submitted that several writ petitions were filed by similarly situate persons and their writ petitions were allowed by this Court with a direction to the opposite parties to take back the petitioners of those writ petitions on duty and pay them the minimum scale of pay which was being drawn by other employees and quashed the order of termination.

On the other hand, learned Standing Counsel has taken the stand that the petitioner was not engaged on permanent post and he was paid wages on work basis. He further submitted that no interim order was passed and after such long lapse of time, the petitioner has to show his rights but at this juncture the petitioner cannot claim any right as his engagement was not made on substantive post therefore, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. 6. Be that as it may. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, without entering into the merits of the case, it is directed that the petitioner may make a fresh representation ventilating his grievance within two weeks from today and the same shall be considered and decided by the respondent no.4 in accordance with law by a reasoned and speaking order, say, within a period of six weeks thereafter. 7.
