employee under the respondents and suddenly, the services of the petitioner was discontinued.

¶20

Today when the matter is taken up for hearing, counsel for the petitioner submits that he has instruction to state that there is availability of work in the department and they are also in need of daily wage employees, however, ignoring the claim of petitioner for said work they are appointing third persons against the said post.

¶21

4.The only prayer that the petitioner make at this juncture is that, if at all, if the respondents intend to engage daily wage workers, let the petitioner be given some preferential right and to be continued instead of appointing fresh personnel. The respondents be directed to take work from the petitioner considering her experience and the length of service rendered by her.

¶22

Given the said grievance that the petitioner has, the writ petition at this juncture is disposed of directing the respondents 2 to 4 to look into the grievance of petitioner and try to redress the same as far as possible by reengaging the petitioner, if at all if the State or the respondents intend to get work from the daily wage workers. Under such circumstances, the petitioner be given due weightage for the services that she had already rendered in the past.

¶23

The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of.
