For Petitioner(s): Mr.T.C.Harinath For Respondent(s): Mr.M.Muthusamy Government Advocate ORDER This writ petition has been filed to direct the 1st respondent to regularize the service of the petitioner from the date of her first appointment on 28.11.1986 within a reasonable time. 2. The petitioner has submitted that she has been appointed on compassionate ground in view of the death of her father Mr.S.K.Arumugam who was working as Night Watchman and died in harness. According to the petitioner her first appointment is on 28.11.1986 but her regularization has been given with effect from 14.08.1990. The petitioner is said to have given representation in this regard but so far it has not been considered by the respondents. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 8362 of 2019 3. Mr.M.Muthusamy, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents, submitted that the petitioner has been given appointment only on 14.08.1980 and previously her engagement was only on temporary service under 10 (a)(i) of the General Rules for the State Subordinate Services Rules and hence the petitioner is entitled to regularization only from the date of her appointment to the regular post i.e. on 14.08.1990. 4. The petitioner is said to have given representation in the year 2018. When a representation in this nature is made by the petitioner, the respondents ought to have passed an order either by allowing or rejecting her claim by stating reasons. So far no order has been passed in this regard. The petitioner got her probation declared with effect from 13.08.1991 by taking into account of her date of appointment only from 14.08.1990. 5. As the petitioner claims regularization by including the period during which she was working on temporary basis, it is for the respondents to take a call whether her services can be regularized by including that period or not. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 8362 of 2019 6. In view of the same, the writ petition is disposed and the respondents are directed to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 12.11.2018 and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
