ORDER

¶12

This Writ Petition has been filed for the issue of Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner from the date of his original appointment in the Village Panchayat on 25.02.1994 and to grant all the consequential service and monetary benefits.

¶13

The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed in the Neelangari panchayat, which was subsequently absorbed into Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewage Board on account of the merger of Panchayat with Chennai Corporation. According to the petitioner, similarly placed persons have been granted regularization on completion of 3 years of service consequent to the Government Orders that were issued in this regard. However, the petitioner has not been extended the benefits of the Government order. Therefore. The petitioner has made representation to the respondents on 11.11.2019 to regularize the service of the petitioner and to grant all attendant benefits. Since the same has not been considered, the present Writ Petition has been filed before this Court.

¶14

Heard the learned counsel for the petition and the learned counsel for the respondents.

¶15

The petitioner is directed to make a fresh representation to the first respondent along with a copy of representation dated 11.11.2019 and copy of this order.
