THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA ORAL ORDER 1. The prayer in this Writ Petition is to direct respondents No.2 to 4 to consider the application dated 15.07.1999 stated to have been filed by the petitioner in Form No.53. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that though he made an application seeking for regularization by filing Form No.53 way back in the year 1999, the same is pending consideration. 3. In my view, since the petitioner claims that he has filed an application, it would be necessary to direct respondents No.3 and 4 to consider the application, if - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:9146 WP No. 5385 of 2025 any, filed by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 4. It is needless to state that the Authorities shall verify whether the application was indeed filed. If it has indeed been filed, it shall be considered as ordered above. Nothing said in the said order shall be construed as an opinion expressed on the merits of the claim of the petitioner. This Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. 5. In view of the disposal of the petition, all pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of. Sd/- (N S SANJAY GOWDA) JUDGE HNM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 33
