is as below:-
(i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of
mandamus to the respondents to initiate the
process of regularization of services of the petitioners against the post of Staff Nurse pursuant to the regularization rules of 2013 as notified by notification dated 30th December, 2013 as well as, as per the notification issued on 14th December, 2016 whereby the amendment was made to Rule 4(1) of the Regularization Rules of 2013 and to conclude the same by regularizing the services of each of the petitioner by giving all consequential benefits as are admissible within a stipulated period to be stipulated by this Hon'ble Court.

Under the Rules, anyone who has served for ten years or more on a particular date indicated in the Rules, is eligible to be considered for regularisation.
6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to petitioners to approach the Competent Authority by making a representation. If petitioners make representation claiming regularisation, the Competent Authority shall examine the matter, and if petitioners are found eligible in terms of regularisation Rules, 2013, as amended in 2025, then their claim shall be referred to Regularisation Committee constituted in terms of the Rules. Final order shall be passed by the Competent Authority within six months from the date of presentation of certified copy of this order before him.
