JUSTICE ASHOK S.KINAGI ORAL ORDER The petitioner filed this writ petition seeking a mandamus directing respondent No.1 to regularise the service of the petitioner from the day on which the petitioner completed 10 years of service with all consequential benefits that would follow from such regularisation. The petitioner submitted a representation vide Annexure-B seeking regularisation of his service to respondent No.1. Respondent No.1 has not passed any order on the representation. Hence, this writ petition. 2. Heard the arguments of learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, the petitioner has submitted a representation vide Annexure-B and no order is passed by respondent No.1. Hence, he submits that, a direction may be issued to respondent No.1 to consider Annexure-V and pass an - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:53519 WP No. 21472 of 2025 appropriate order. Accordingly, prays to allow the writ petition. 4. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents submits that, the petitioner worked on a temporary basis. Hence, the representation was not considered. Hence, he prays to dismiss the writ petition. 5. Perused the records and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties. 6. It is an undisputed fact that the petitioner has submitted a representation vide Annexure-B dated 16.05.2025. Once respondent No.1 received the representation, it is a legal obligation on the part of respondent No.1 to pass an appropriate order on the said representation. Respondent No.1 cannot keep the representation pending for a long time. As no order has been passed by respondent No.1 on the representation vide Annexure-B, if directions are issued to respondent No.1 to consider the representation and pass the - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:53519 WP No. 21472 of 2025 appropriate orders, no injustice would be caused to respondent No.1. 7.
