The facts in brief germane are as follows. The petitioner is the wife of one Shivayya, who was an employee of the respondent No.3, who died in harness. Pursuant to the death of the husband of the petitioner, the petitioner was appointed on temporary basis on 22.06.2015. The petitioner is said to be working on temporary basis since then and therefore submits a representation that she has worked for 8 years as on - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:17699 WP No. 102987 of 2023 the date of submission of the representation and seeks continuance of her service on permanent basis. The said representation has not merited consideration and therefore, the petitioner is before this Court in the subject petition. 4. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that if the direction is issued to the respondent No.3 to consider her case on its merit, it would suffice for the present. 5. In the light of the said submission, without entering into the merit of the claim of the petitioner for continuance on permanent basis, I deem it appropriate to dispose the subject petition with a direction to the respondent No.3 to consider the representation / application and in accordance with law and pass necessary orders thereon within an outer limit of four months from the date of receipt of the copy of the order. Ordered accordingly. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE RSH / CT: ASC LIST NO.: 2 SL NO.: 14
