1. By the present petition, the petitioners are seeking a direction towards the respondent No.2/Collector to consider the representation submitted by the petitioners who are working as Daily Wagers in different Tehsils of District Sarguja(Ambikapur) since 2007.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioners by referring Annexures P-1 to P-3 would submit that the petitioners are the employees of
3 the Department of Revenue since 2007 and they have posted at different Tehsils of District Sarguja, Ambikapur. He would submit that though the petitioners are rendering their services in the department since a long period, the authorities are not taking any initiative for regularizing their services. He would also submit that the petitioners made several representations and also running from pillar to post for redressal of their grievance, but the same does not fructify. The petitioners also submit a representation before the Collector on 05/03/2024 (Annexure P-4) before the respondent No.2, which is still pending consideration.
3.
Learned counsel appearing for the State would submit that if the representation of the petitioners for regularization is pending before the Collector, the same shall be considered in accordance with law within a stipulated time.
4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the pleadings and documents.
5. Perusal of the document, it appears that the petitioners are working as Daily Wagers since 2007 in the Revenue Department, however, their claim for regularization is not being considered by the respondent authorities. Even the representation of the petitioners dated 05/03/2024 is pending before the Collector.
6. In view of the above, the respondent No.2/Collector is directed
4 to consider and decide the representation of the petitioners within a period of 50 days in accordance with law and on its own merits.
7. The petitioners shall apprise the Collector/respondent No.2 about the order of this Court.
