Learned counsel for petitioner submits that earlier the State Government has passed various circulars mentioned in circular dated 11.01.2021, however, it was withdrawn. Thereafter, again it was reconsidered and the order of withdrawal of the circular was taken back, as such, all the work-charged employees and the contingency paid employees were being given benefit of regular pay-scale under contingency establishment even without any set- up. It is submitted that on the basis of circular dated 11.01.2021, the other Districts like Bastar, Narayanpur and Bijapur have considered the case and the similarly situated persons were granted benefit of permanent status, therefore, the petitioners are also entitled for grant of benefit of permanent status in light of circular dated 11.01.2021. 3. Learned State counsel opposes the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. I have heard learned counsel for parties and perused the documents available on record. 5. Considering the aforesaid aspect of the matter and considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioners to file appropriate representation before the respondent authorities showing all the facts which have been shown before this Court 4 and in turn, the respondent authorities shall consider their case in light of circular dated 11.01.2021, and also considering the fact that similar benefits have been granted by various Districts. In the event of filing representation by each of the petitioner within two weeks, the respondents are directed to decide the same in a pragmatic manner, keeping circular dated 11.01.2021 under consideration. The respondent authorities are directed to decide the representation within a period of four weeks. 6. With this observation, the writ petition is disposed of.
