Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:73280 Court No. - 5 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 6170 of 2025 Petitioner :- Rajeev Kumar Yadav And 2 Others Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Saurabh Kumar Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajay Bhanot,J. Heard Shri Saurabh Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Shri Subhranshu Shekhar, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State. The petitioners are working as Class IV contractual employees under the respondent no. 4-Executive Officer, Nagar Panchayat, Nai Bazar, Bhadohi. The petitioners claim that they are entitled for regularization of their services. A representation in this regard has been made but to no avail. The only prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioners is that the representation of the petitioners may be decided within a stipulated period of time. Shri Subhranshu Shekhar, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State submits the matter requires factual determination as per applicable law by the competent authority in the first instance and claims of the petitioners need to be ascertained. However, he fairly contends that the claim of the petitioners for regularization is liable to be decided within a reasonable time frame. In wake of the preceding discussion and without going into the merits of the case, the respondent authority is directed to decide the representation of the petitioners regarding regularization of his services as per law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order along with a fresh copy of the representation. It is clarified that this Court has not gone into the merits of the controversy. The same shall be decided by the competent authority by independent application of mind. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of.
