Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. None appears on behalf of the respondents, inspite of printing the name of the respondents in the cause list.

¶14

The petitioner has come up with a grievance that inspite of his functioning as Contract Worker under the second respondent with effect from 26.12.1996, his services were not regularised. According to the petitioner, similarly placed Contract Labourers were all regularised in service. However, no such action was taken in his case. The petitioner submitted a representation on 14.05.2012, requesting the second respondent to consider his case on merits. Since there was no follow up action taken by the respondents, the petitioner is before this Court.
