12.03.2026 17 sdas WPA 2351 of 2026 Tapas Das Vs. The State of West Bengal & Ors. Mr. Ekramul Bari, Sr. Adv. Sk. Imtiaj Uddin …. for the petitioner Mr. Arka Kumar Nag Mr. Manish Biswas …. for the State 1. Let affidavit-of-service, as filed in Court, be kept on record. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved that he has not been regularized in terms of the Memorandum No. 874- Edn. (CS)/1C-63L/12 dated October 28, 2014. 3. Mr. Bari, learned senior Advocate appearing for the petitioner, submits that the petitioner had been appointed initially as a Durwan at the Main Hostel of Taki Government College some time in 2003 and worked there without any break in service till 2005. However, in 2008 he had been appointed as a Library Peon in Group-D Post in the same college. According to Mr. Bari, similarly situated persons, who are not employed in the hostel/mess, have been regularized under the 2 aforestated Memorandum and there is no reason for the petitioner to be treated unequally. 4. Mr. Nag, learned Advocate appearing for the respondents no. 1 to 4, submits that being a peon in a library since 2002, he is not entitled to the benefit of the aforestated Memorandum. 5. Since, in spite of service, none appears for the college authorities, it will be put on notice by the respondent no. 2 at the time of consideration of the representation by the petitioner. College authorities will assist the respondent no. 2 with all requisite documents available to it in respect of the petitioner. 6. It further appears from the records that the representation, made by the petitioner on August 16, 2023 with the respondent no. 2, has not yet been considered and is pending unnecessarily. 7. I direct the respondent no. 2 to dispose of the representation of August 16, 2023 taking into consideration the years of the service of the petitioner and also the nature of his engagement since 2002. Such consideration will be made and disposed of by a reasoned order by April 16, 2026, upon giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner with adequate prior notice. 8. Resultant reasoned order will be communicated to the petitioner by April, 20, 2026. 3 9. With the aforestated directions, the writ petition is, thus, disposed of. 10. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. 11.Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties on usual undertaking. (Reetobroto Kumar Mitra, J.)
