the date of regularisation was not counted for pension. At the same
time, all the petitioners have received gratuity through the order
passed by the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act,
1972 by counting the entire service as a qualifying service.
2. In WP (C) 3730 of 2021, the petitioners, eight in number,
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 30 2025:KER:5826
challenge Exhibit P9 Order, dated 22.02.2005, issued by the 1 st
respondent, to the extent it denied reckoning the total service
including continuous service rendered before regularisation by the
Spinning Instructor/Weaving Instructor for the pensionary benefits
and Exhibit P10 dated 17.05.2005 issued by the Government of Kerala,
Exhibit P11 Government Letter dated 06.10.2006 and Ext.P12
Government letter dated 17.03.2009. It is stated that the petitioners are
retired Spinning and Weaving Instructors from the service of the 3 rd
respondent Khadi Board. Initially, petitioners 1-6 being aggrieved by
the non-reckoning of the total service in computing gratuity,
approached this Court by filing WP (C) Nos. 16156/2020, 11502/2020
and 11506/2020 which were disposed of with a direction to reckon the
total period of service for payment of gratuity and to pay the
outstanding gratuity amount. Petitioners 1, 4 and 5 viz. Smt. Sulatha,
Smt. Radha O. and Smt. M N Kuttimani were petitioner Nos. 11, 13 and
14 respectively in WP (C) No. 36274/2005.
3. In WP(C) No. 4219 of 2021, the petitioners prayer for a
direction for quashing Exhibit P9 Government Order and to quash
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 31 2025:KER:5826
Exhibit P10 Government Order, Exts.P11 and P12 Government letters
by which the request to reckon prior continuous service of Spinning
Instructor and Weaving Instructor before regularisation was rejected
by the 1st respondent for pensionary benefit. It is stated that
petitioners are retired from the service of the 3rd respondent, Khadi
Board. They retired as Spinning Instructors. Petitioners 9, 10 and 14
viz. Smt. M.M Padmavathi, Smt. Retnakumari P.K. and Sri. P.P. Mohan
Babu was petitioner Nos. 33, 26 and 3 respectively.
4. In W.P. (C) No. 18456/2021, the petitioners (Total of 13) are
retired as Weaving Instructors and Spinning Instructors from the
Khadi Board. They were absorbed in the regular service only on
07.07.1999 and on retirement they were denied the pension they are
entitled to, based on their total period of service including continuous
service they worked for decades on a daily wage basis for a meagre
wage. The petitioners prayed for a direction to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
respondents to revise the pension of the petitioners’ by reckoning the
entire service of the petitioners as regular service and pay and release
to them the arrears of pension without delay and continue to pay them
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 32 2025:KER:5826
pension at the revised rate.
5. In W.P. (C) No. 6155/2021, the petitioners ( 41 in number )
are retired from the service of the Khadi Board. The petitioners 1-27
retired as Spinning Instructors and the rest of them are retired as
Weaving Instructors. The petitioners challenge Exhibit P9 Government
Order, so far as it denies to reckon the total service including service
rendered before regularisation by the Spinning Instructor/Weaving
Instructor for pensionary benefits and also to quash Exhibit P10
Government Order, Exts.P11 and P12 Government letters by which the
request to reckon prior continuous service of Spinning Instructor and
Weaving Instructor before regularisation was rejected by the 1st
respondent for pensionary benefit. Petitioners 2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 12, 28, 29,
30 and 32 viz. Smt. Mary A.M, Smt. K. Thulasi Bai, Smt. Remadevi E, Smt
Marykunju P.D., Smt. Jessy M. L., Smt. Annamma N.T., Sri. T.V Ravi,
Smt. V.K Elsy, Smt. T.C. Vasanthi and Smt. T.L. Reetha were petitioners
23, 32, 24, 25, 27, 28, 19, 31, 29 and 30 respectively in WP (C) N0.
36274/2005.
6. In WP (C) No. 37554 of 2024, the petitioners ( 32 in number)
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 33 2025:KER:5826
challenge Exhibits P6 and P7 to the extent they deny reckoning the
total service prior to the regularisation of the petitioners. The
Petitioners challenged Exhibit P6 and P7 orders and prayed for
quashing the same to the extent it denies to reckon the total service
including service rendered before regularisation by the
Spinning/Weaving Instructors for pensionary benefits.
7. The 3rd respondent, the Kerala Khadi and Village Industries
Board, submits that the writ petition is filed as an experimental
measure as their claim is hit by estoppel and acquiescence. The
petitioners did not challenge the orders passed by the Government.
The petitioners have accepted the said pay scale and drawn their salary
during their entire period of service and even the pension benefits
according to the said scale of pay. It is stated that the Kerala Khadi and
Village Industries Board is a grant-in-aid institution with its own
special rules viz, Kerala Khadi and Village Industries Board
(Classification and Conditions of Recruitment of Staff) Regulations,
2006, governing the service conditions of the staff and the provisions of
Kerala Service Rules Part III are made applicable for the computation of
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 34 2025:KER:5826
pension, gratuity and other pensionary benefits of its employees. The
petitioners were initially appointed on daily wages under the Special
Employment Generation Scheme and later regularised by the
Government on compassionate grounds through a Government Order
dated 07.07.1999. The petitioners were working as technical staff in
various departmental production units under the Kerala Khadi and
Village Industries Board with effect from the date of the order giving
them pay and allowances equivalent to the part time contingent
employees of the State Government subject to the following conditions.
(i) No further recruitment will be made to the above categories.
(ii) Surplus staff, if any, in one District may be appointed to the
vacant posts in the other Districts.
(iii) The date of retirement should be on completion of 55 years
for all the above posts.
8. Later the salary of the petitioners was revised as equivalent
to that of last-grade servants and 50% of the additional expenditure for
the same will only be met by the Government. The scale of pay with
effect from the order dated 22.02.2005 was fixed at the entry level with
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 35 2025:KER:5826
effect from the date of order and their previous service will not count
for pay fixation, leave, pension, grade promotion etc. Later the words
‘pension’ and ‘leave’ were deleted vide Order dated 17.05.2005.
Therefore, the service of the regularised instructors between the date
of regularisation, i.e. 07.07.1999 and the date of sanctioning of Pay
Scale, i.e. 22.05.2005 can only be taken for grade fixation etc. which
may take place beyond 22.05.2005. Therefore, the period prior to
regularisation i.e. 07.07.1999 could not be considered for any service
benefits including pension.
9. The said posts of Spinning and Weaving Instructors are
created on compassionate grounds to accommodate the daily wage
employees and these posts are thereby not provided in classes and
categories of posts under each service provided in Regulation 4 (b) of
CCR and these posts are not borne in cadre. Petitioners do not possess
qualifications for being regularly appointed in the sanctioned posts
and therefore, the government had regularised all 346 persons
including the petitioners working as technical staff with the condition
that no further recruitment will be made to the above categories. The
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 36 2025:KER:5826
Government has made clear that their previous service would not be
reckoned for service benefits as it will create a huge additional
financial burden to the government. The subject matter of dispute has
already been considered by this Court in O.P. No. 29876/2002 and
decided against the petitioners. This Court also considered the
question of reckoning the service from the date of entry in service and
granting pay and other allowances applicable to such posts in WPC No.
36274/2005.
10. Heard Sri.N.Unnikrishnan, learned counsel for the
petitioners in WP(C). No. 13434/2017, Sri. G. Krishna Kumar, learned
counsel for the petitioners in WP(C).Nos. 3730/2021, 4219/2021,

instructed by Sri. N. Rajagopalan Nair, learned Standing Counsel for the
Kerala Khadi and Village Industries Board and Sri. Bijoy Chandran, the
learned Government Pleader.
11. It is urged on behalf of the petitioners that they were
appointed on the basis of a Rural Employment Scheme introduced by
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 37 2025:KER:5826
the Khadi Board to join the Spinning units of the Board as spinners on
a piece-rate basis. Out of the persons working as spinners, those who
have completed SSLC and with good performance were sent for 10
months of training and post the successful training, they were called
for interview and based on the marks secured in the interview
conducted by the Board, they were appointed as Spinning Instructors
on daily wage basis at Rs. 10 per day. Weaving Instructors were also
appointed by following a similar mode of appointment adopted in 1986.
From among the weavers, those who are well experienced have
teaching skills and who passed the 8th standard were selected for
various training programmes for weaving instructors and appointed as
Weaving Instructors in the weaving unit of the Board.
12. It is stated that all of the petitioners hail from the lower
strata of the society and were working from 1978 onwards. Initially,
they worked for daily wages of Rs. 10/- per day and subsequently
enhanced to Rs. 12/- per day. On 8.11.1990, the Khadi Board granted a
consolidated remuneration of Rs. 700/- and later it was enhanced to Rs.
1050/- per month. After decades of continuous service on a daily wage
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 38 2025:KER:5826
basis, they were absorbed into the regular service as per a Government
Order dated 07.07.1999 and the scale of pay was fixed as that of Part-
time Contingent Workers. It is stated that they were full-time
employees and were working on a full-time basis right from the day of
appointment till the date of retirement. While this remained the fact,
they were paid a salary equivalent to Part-time Contingent Workers
and for pension, the period of service before the regularisation date
was not considered.
13. It is stated that through a Government Order dated
22.02.2005, the government sanctioned the pay equivalent to the last
grade employees and it was mentioned in Exhibit P4 that their previous
service will not count for pay fixation, leave, pension, grade promotion
etc. Later Government issued orders on 17.05.2005 by which the earlier
order was modified by deleting “pension” and “leave” from the last
sentence. It is stated that on reading the above Government Orders
together, the petitioners are entitled to get counted their provisional
service/ daily wage period also as qualifying service for pension. The
Government through letter dated 17.03.2009 has rejected the request to
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 39 2025:KER:5826
issue orders to reckon the period of service of persons as that of
petitioners from 1.11.1990 as qualifying service for pension. The
petitioners are only provided with ex-gratia pension by denying them
the actual pension they are entitled to, based on their total period of
service. It is stated that Kerala Service Rules, in particular, Rule 10, Part
III KSR relate to pension which permits in individual cases and subject
to such conditions as they may think fit to impose in each case, allow
service rendered by an employee to count for pension.
14. Under Rule 11 of KSR, Part III, the Government is
competent to declare that any specified kind of service rendered by an
employee shall qualify for pension inferentially even without a specific
prescription. Rule 14 A, Part III, KSR provides for counting the
temporary service for the regular pension if is regularised later. The
duties and responsibilities of the Spinning Instructor were to manage
the entire spinning unit in which they were posted, impart training to
unemployed persons, pay wages based on the work done to the
spinners, prepare and maintain accounts, wage register, repair and
upkeep the machinery in the unit. They were also subjected to transfer
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 40 2025:KER:5826
from one unit to another and even to other Districts like regular
employees. They argue that their duties were neither sporadic nor
project-based, but permanent and integral to the daily functioning of
the respondent’s office. In the Irrigation Department and Kerala Water
Authority, orders were issued for reckoning the CLT/SLR service prior
to absorption into regular service of the Irrigation department in
respect of CLR/SLR employees.
15. In the Judgment dated 31.05.2016 of the Kerala High Court
in WP(C) No. 3218 of 2014 (Exhibit P8) held that Khadi Board admitted
that the non-inclusion of the post of Spinning and Weaving Instructors
in the Special Rules (CCR) 2006 is due to a mistake or omission on the
part of the authority and thereafter as per the notification dated
26.02.2024, amended the CCR regulation and in 4 (a) of Part I after
serial No. VI, Serial No. VII, Casual Field Service was included.

17. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents,
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 42 2025:KER:5826
opposing the prayers in the writ petition, contended that in the 1999
Regularisation order, sanction was accorded for the regularisation of
the 346 persons working as technical staff including the persons now
working against the 157 sanctioned posts on the following conditions:
(i) No further recruitment will be made to the above
categories.
(ii) Surplus staff if any in one District may be appointed to the
various posts in the other districts.
(iii) The date of retirement should be on completion of 55
years for all the above posts. The Government Letter dated 06.10.2006,
clearly stated that the provisional service reckoned for increment
alone will be reckoned as qualifying service for weightage. All the staff
members of the Khadi Board are appointed through Kerala Public
Service Commission. However, the petitioners were initially appointed
on daily wages under the Special Employment Generation Scheme and
later regularised by the Government on compassionate grounds.
Petitioners cannot thereby claim equality with the other employees
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 43 2025:KER:5826
who had been appointed through KPSC as they were appointed on a
regular scale of pay. Spinning and Weaving Instructors are not
included in CCR Regulation 4 (a) which states the classes and categories
of posts. Hence provisions of CCR do not apply to them. Previous years
of service, if calculated can create an additional financial burden on the
Government. Ext. P1 is a special employment programme formulated
by the Government to provide employment for the marginalised
section of society, under the Board. In Paragraph 3 of this, it is
mentioned that the posts which are so created except those filled up by
promotion would be filled up through the Kerala Public Service
Commission. Exhibit P2 is a circular of the board itself which prescribes
the qualification for appointment on a daily wage basis to the project
and Khadi offices of the Board.
18. The Petitioners cannot challenge Ext. P5, especially at this
distance of time, for two reasons, one delay and the other; the
regularisation in service having been effected as per Ext. P5; in the
regular pay applicable to Part-time Contingent employees. The same
was continued till Exhibit P8 Government Order and by the said order
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 44 2025:KER:5826
granted the pay scale applicable to the last grade servants. No
retrospective effect can be claimed. The regularisation itself was a
benefit conferred on the petitioners by the Government and they
cannot claim parity or equality with others who had been appointed in
the regular scales of pay. A committee constituted to look into the issue
of regularization of daily wagers was placed before a Committee
constituted by the Government and the decision taken was as per the
recommendations of it. It was specifically noticed in the report that the
policy of the Government was not to grant any retrospective
regularization and the reluctance to bear the huge financial liability.
The Respondents relied on the following judgments:
P. Ramachandran and Others v. State of Kerala and
Others(WPC No. 36274/2005), Shyamala B v. State of Kerala and Others
(WPC No. 33951/2004), State Of Haryana And Another v. Haryana Civil
Secretariat Personal Staff Association [(2002) 6 SCC 72), Jayaram K. and
Others v. Bangalore Development Authority and Others [2022 (1) KLT
168], Parmeshwar Nanda etc v. The State of Jharkhand through Chief
Secretary & Ors etc (Civil Appeal Nos. 505-531 of 2020).
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017 & connected cases 45 2025:KER:5826
19. The petitioners, as stated above, are seeking to reckon the
entire service as regular service and to release them the arrears of
pension taking into account the period they worked from the date of
entry. All of them had retired more than a decade back. The Kerala
Khadi and Village Industries Board is constituted under Section 4 of the
Kerala Khadi and Village Industries Board Act, 1957 (for short ‘the
Act’). All employees of the Khadi Board come under the definition of
public servants going by Section 31 of the Act. The Board also has
special Rules, namely Kerala Khadi and Village Industries Board
(Classification and Conditions of Recruitment of Staff) Regulations,
2006, governing the service conditions of the staff and the Kerala
Service Rules Part III are also made applicable for the computation of
pension, gratuity and other pensionary benefits of its employees. It is
not in dispute that the petitioners were initially appointed on daily
wages under the Special Employment Generation which was later
regularised by the Government on 07.07.1999. As per the said order, the
Government had sanctioned accord regularisation of 346 persons,
including the petitioners in all cases working as technical staff in
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 46 2025:KER:5826
various departmental production units under the Board with effectfrom the date of the order giving them pay and allowances equivalent
to the part-time contingent employees of the State Government subject
to the conditions that no further recruitment will be made to the above
categories, that the surplus staff, if any, in one District may be
appointed to the vacant posts in other Districts and that the date of
retirement shall be on completion of 55 years.
20. Later, the Government refixed the pay and allowances of
the regularised Spinning and Weaving Instructors on the ground that
the pay sanctioned while regularising was that of part-time employee’s
salary, but they were actually doing the job as that of full-time
employees. Therefore, the Government had accorded sanction for
awarding a pay scale equivalent to the pay and allowances of last-grade
servants to the instructors regularised as above. It is also decided that
50% of the additional expenditure will be met by the Government. The
Government Order dated 22.05.2005 made it clear that those
regularised in the above scale will be with effect from the date of the
order and that their pay will be fixed at the entry-level of the scale
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 47 2025:KER:5826
with effect from the date of the order and that their previous servicewill not count for pay fixation, leave, pension, grade promotion etc.
21. Through Government Order dated 17.05.2005, based on
the request made by the petitioners and the similarly situated, the
Government issued an erratum to delete the words ‘pension’ and
‘leave’ from the last sentence of the last para of the Government Order
dated 22.02.2005. Therefore, the service of the regularised Instructors
between the date of regularisation, namely 07.07.1999 and the date of
sanctioning of Pay Scale namely; 22.05.2005 can only be taken for
computing pension and leave, but for granting pay fixation, grade
fixation etc the service period beyond 22.05.2005 cannot be considered.
Thus, the Government clearly stated that the period of service beyond
the date of regularisation, ie prior to 07.07.1999 would not be
considered for any service benefits including pension. In the earlier
round of litigation in which some of the petitioners in this round were
also parties, through judgment dated 25.02.2016 in W.P.(C)
No.36274/2005 this Court held that the regularisation itself was a
benefit conferred on the petitioners by the Government and they
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 48 2025:KER:5826
cannot claim parity or equality with other persons who had been
appointed in the regular scale of pay. It was also pointed out that the
regular appointments were made through the Kerala Public Service
Commission and that they cannot be equated to the posts in which the
petitioners are regularised. It was also the contention of the
Government that the posts occupied by the petitioners are not
included in the CCR and such posts are not borne in cadre and hence
the provisions of the CCR do not apply to them. It is stated that the
petitioners in W.P.(C) No.3730/2021 were retired on superannuation
without completing the minimum years of service entitled them to
minimum pension, namely ten years. It is submitted that the claim now
made by the petitioners was considered earlier and specifically
rejected.
22. It is true that the equation of posts and determination of
pay scale are the primary functions of the executive and not of the
Courts. The petitioners accepted the orders regularising them with the
conditions thereon. It is also submitted that their claims in the earlier
writ petition claiming regularisation from the date of entry of service
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 49 2025:KER:5826
were declined. The learned counsel for the petitioners however points
out that the present request is not to grant regularisation from the day
they started working, but to count the period from the date of entry to
the date of regularisation as service to compute the pensionary
benefits.
23. It needs to be stated that the law in this regard, in
particular the Full Bench judgment of the Punjab High Court in Kesar
Chand resident of village Naroli v. State of Punjab and Others [AIR 1988
Punjab and Haryana 265], which was considered by the Supreme Court
as well and the decisions in Vinod Kumar and Others v. Union of India
and Others [(2024) 9 SCC 327], Sukumaran V v. State of Kerala and
Another [2020 (5) KHC 571], Punjab State Electricity Board and Another
v. Narata Singh and Another [(2010) 4 SCC 317] and the judgment of this
court in Laila T.M. and Others v. State of Kerala and Others [2014 (2)
KHC395], clearly laid down that the label at the time of entry into
service cannot be the determinatory factor.
24. The case law considered certain parameters to be
reckoned viz, long and uninterrupted service that cannot be brushed
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 50 2025:KER:5826
aside merely by labelling their initial appointments as part-time or
contractual. The essence of their employment must be considered in
the light of their sustained contribution, the integral nature of their
work, when nothing suggests their entry was through any illegal or
surreptitious route. The performance of essential duties that were
indispensable to the day-to-day functioning of the establishment,
despite being labelled as part-time workers for a very long time. The
engagement not being sporadic or temporary in nature; instead, it was
recurrent, regular, and akin to the responsibilities typically associated
with sanctioned posts underscoring the indispensable nature of their
work completed satisfactorily.
25. The factors noted above, which are actually for
considering a claim of regularisation had not been considered in the
case of these petitioners, at least as regards reckoning the period of
service prior to regularisation to compute the pension. The impugned
orders in W.P.(C) No.3730/2021 (Exhibit P9), W.P.(C) No.6155/2021
(Exhibit P9), W.P.(C) No.4219 of 2021 (Exhibit P8) & W.P.(C)
No.37554/2024 (Exhibit P4), Government Order dated 22.02.2005, stated
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 51 2025:KER:5826
that since the petitioners are doing job as in the case of full-time
employees, accorded sanction for awarding scale of pay equivalent to
that of last grade servants to the remaining Spinning and Weaving
Instructors and the Board has agreed to meet 50% of the additional
financial commitment in this regard. In W.P.(C) No.3730/2021 (Exhibit
P10), W.P.(C) No.6155/2021 (Exhibit P10) W.P.(C) No.4219 of 2021
(Exhibit P9) & W.P.(C) No.37554/2024 (Exhibit P5), Government Order
dated 17.05.2005, it is stated that last sentence of the previous
Government Order regarding fixing of pay and allowance of regularised
Spinning Instructors or Weaving Instructors has modified by deleting
the words ‘leave’ and ‘pension’ as per the request from the Secretary of
Khadi Board. No other reason was stated.
26. In W.P.(C) No.3730/2021 (Exhibit P11), W.P.(C)
No.6155/2021 (Exhibit P11), W.P.(C) No.4219 of 2021 (Exhibit P10) &
W.P.(C) No.37554/2024 (Exhibit P6), Government Letter dated
06.10.2006, it is stated that provisional service reckoned for increment
alone will be reckoned as qualifying service for weightage and as per
Government Order dated 22.02.2005, government has specified that the
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 52 2025:KER:5826
pay of the above employees will be fixed at entry level of the scale of
pay which means that their prior service will not be reckoned for
service benefits. There was no mention of Government Order dated
17.05.2005 and no further reasons were stated.
27. In W.P.(C) No.3730/2021 (Exhibit P12), W.P.(C)
No.6155/2021 (Exhibit P12), W.P.(C) No.4219 of 2021 (Exhibit P11) &
W.P.(C) No.37554/2024 (Exhibit P7), Government Letter dated
17.03.2009 it is stated that as per Government Order dated 22.02.2005,
279 Spinning/Weaving Instructors were granted scale of pay
equivalent to that of last grade servants and the government has met
50% of additional financial burden. If service prior to regularisation is
considered for pension and gratuity, the government will have to bear
Rs.14,00,000/- of additional financial burden. In W.P.(C) No.13434 of
2017 (Exhibit P49), the government communication dated 13.01.2016
rejected the claim by passing a non-speaking order.
28. It cannot disputed that the petitioners are all coming from
lower strata and that their power to bargain and get the legitimately
entitled benefits was very low. It is also relevant to note that under the
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 53 2025:KER:5826
Amended Regulation of 2024 dated 26.02.2024 amending the Kerala
Khadi and Village Industries Board (Classifications and Conditions of
Recruitment of Staff) (Amendment) Regulations 2024, Spinning
Instructor and Weaving Instructor are included under the Technical
Service (Lower) and the Spinning and Weaving Instructors, under the
category of Casual Field Service. It is also to be noticed that the
petitioners worked without any break of service till their
regularisation on 07.07.1999. The long-term service clearly suggests a
level of permanency and integration with the Governmental structure
that belies their classification as temporary employees. There is no
case that the petitioners were not qualified to hold the posts or that
they did a job not similar to the one done by the regular employees.
29. Taking note of the parameters laid down in the judgments
noted above and also the observations made above, I deem it
appropriate to direct the Government to reconsider the case of the
petitioners for counting their period of service before their
regularisation as qualifying service for the purpose of pensionary
benefits without changing the date of regularisation. A relook is
WP(C) NO. 13434 OF 2017
& connected cases 54 2025:KER:5826
necessary given the position of law stated above. To enable the above
exercise, the impugned orders are quashed. There will be a direction to
the Principal Secretary of Industries or the competent among the
Government Secretaries to reconsider the claims of the petitioners
after giving notice to them or their representatives and other affected
parties and to take a fresh decision within four months from the date
of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
The writ petitions are allowed as above.
