The court directed the relevant authorities to consider the petitioners' request for regularization of service within a stipulated timeframe.

JUDGMENT

Dated this the 3^rd day of February, 2026 The petitioners state that they are working as Teacher and Aya respectively in the “Thanal Buds Rehabilitation Centre” functioning under the 4^th respondent since 25.06.2015 on contract basis.

2. The petitioners were selected after conducting due selection process and interview. They were appointed as per Ext.P2 decision of the 4^th respondent by virtue of Ext.P1 guidelines issued by the 1^st respondent.

3. Ext.P3 proceedings stipulated that the Teachers /

Ayas, who are having more than two years experience shall not be terminated. The petitioners are continuing in service from 25.06.2015 onwards and having more than ten years of continuous service, as can be seen from Exts.P9 and P10 Certificates issued by the 5^th respondent. Therefore, the petitioners have preferred Exts.P13 and P14 representations before the 1^st respondent seeking regularization in service on the basis of their continuous service from 25.06.2015 by virtue of Ext.P12 Government Order.

4. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader representing respondents 1 to 3.

5. The petitioners are working as Teacher and Aya respectively in “Thanal Buds Rehabilitation Centre” since 25.06.2015. The petitioners state that they were selected through a selection process and they were appointed as per Ext.P2. Since the petitioners are having more than ten years of continuous service, they have submitted Exts.P13 and P14 representations for regularisation in service in the light of Ext.P12. In the afore facts of the case, I am of the view that the 1^st respondent can consider their representations for regularisation.

In the facts of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1^st respondent to consider Exts.P13 and P14 representations submitted by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, within a period of three months, after giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioners, taking note of Ext.P12.
