Order dated 08.05.2026, has been placed on record.

6. The direction passed by the writ Court was confined to the
consideration of the cases of the petitioners for regularization of their services. In view of the issuance of Govt. order dated 08.05.2026 by the respondents, the said direction stands complied with. If at all, the petitioners have any grievance with regard to release of consequential benefits, they are at liberty to agitate the same by way of appropriate proceedings.
7.
Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that no order of regularization has been issued in respect of the petitioner-Puran Chand, pursuant to Goverrnment Order dated 08.05.2026. A perusal of Government Order dated 08.05.2026 reveals that sanction for regularization of services of Puran Chand already stands accorded and in terms of communication dated 14.08.2026, arrears of his salary have also been calculated by the respondent- department. If petitioner- Puran Chand

faces any difficulty in getting salary in regularized grade, he shall be at liberty to seek revival of this petition.
8. The proceedings in this contempt petition are, accordingly, closed.
