2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the question of law raised in the petition has come up for consideration before this Court and this Court while passing order in CWP-2158-2020 titled as, Ashish Sharma and others vs. State of Haryana and others, decided on 13.03.2024 along with other connected cases, has laid down the parameters for considering the claim of the employees under the said policy dated 01.10.2003 and the petitioner will also be satisfied in case the claim of the petitioner is considered by the respondents as per the terms and conditions of the order passed by this Court in Ashish Sharma (supra).
3. Learned State counsel submits that services of the petitioner have already been regularized and the present petition has been filed after a period of 04 years and hence, the petitioner be not given liberty to seek regularization of his services, as claimed, under the judgment of this Court in Ashish Sharma (supra).

5.

6. Keeping in view the above, present petition is also disposed of in terms of the order passed by this Court in Ashish Sharma (supra) so as to consider the claim of the petitioner for regularization of his services under the policy dated 01.10.2003 and to pass appropriate speaking order within a period of 08 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
