Having gone through the order dated 09.10.2018 passed by this Court in MJC No.11 of 2012 and MJC No.2479 of 2012, this Court finds that because of the observations made therein the petitioner preferred a writ application being CWJC No.11569 of 2021 wherein he inter-alia prayed for a direction to the respondents to release the fund in favour of the petitioner and make payment of his current as well as arrears of salary with effect from the date of regularization of his service i.e. 22.09.1985. In the said writ application, the petitioner made an

additional prayer to quash the memo no. 14/M7-160/14-1099 dated 13.09.2018 and letter no. 14/MU 13-70/19-310 dated 29.07.2019 and thereafter the consequential reliefs.

In view of the foregoing discussion, I set aside the order passed in memo no.1099 dated 13.09.2018 issued by the State Government by which the regularization of service of 11 employee including the petitioner on post of Routine Clerk w.e.f. 18.10.2011, issued earlier under memo no.8812-33/18 dated 03.07.18 were cancelled and memo no.C/DR-1/10884-900/19 dated 21.09.2019, issued by the Registrar of the concerned University is hereby quashed.

¶23

The State Government as well as the University are directed to regularize the service of the petitioner from the date of his initial appointment i.e. 18.02.1985 and also give all consequential benefits to the petitioner within six months from today.”

¶24

3. In view of the aforesaid adjudication already made
