Harsimran Singh Sethi J. (Oral) In the present writ petition, the grievance of the petitioners is that the petitioners are working as Edusat Chowkidars in the Government Schools of Haryana for the last so many years but their services have not been regularized by the respondents, which act of the respondents is contrary to the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Secretary, State of Karnataka vs. Uma Devi and others, 2006 (4) SCC 1. The further prayer of the petitioners is that appropriate direction be issued to the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioners with all consequential benefits.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have already approached the respondents by filing a legal notice dated 14.10.2022 (Annexure P-2), which is still pending consideration with the 1 of 2 ::: Downloaded on - 15-12-2022 14:56:22 ::: CWP No. 28751 of 2022 2 respondents and the petitioners will be satisfied at this stage, in case a time bound direction is issued to respondent No. 2 to decide the said legal notice by passing an appropriate speaking order.
Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and entitlement of the petitioners in respect of the claim made in the writ petition/legal notice, respondent No.2 is directed to decide the legal notice dated 14.10.2022 (Annexure P-2), within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
Present writ petition stands disposed of.
