Date : 19-06-2023 Heard Mr. S. Kataki, learned counsel for the writ petitioners.

The writ petitioners, 45 in total, have approached this Court inter alia alleging that although they have served for continuous period of more than 10 years under the respondent department as causal workers, the benefit under the judgment passed in the case of State of Assam Vs. Upen Das & Ors. (W.A. No. 45/2014) has been illegally denied to them.

Ms. A. Bora, learned standing counsel, H&FW Department, Assam appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 1 and 2, prays for some time to obtain instruction in the matter.

Issue notice of motion returnable in 06 weeks.

Since Ms. Bora has accepted notice on behalf of respondent Nos. 1 and 2 and Ms. R.B. Bora, learned standing counsel, BTC has accepted notice on behalf of respondent Nos. 3 and 4, no formal notice is required to be sent in this case.

Extra copies of the writ petition, requisite in numbers, be furnished to the learned departmental counsel so as to enable them to obtain instruction and file affidavit.

List this case again by reflecting the names of learned counsel for the respondents Page No.# 14/14
