Judgment Rajendra Menon, J.;- 1. Petitioner was working in the Census Department and feels aggrieved by his non-absorption in the department. Interalia contending that many persons working along with the petitioner have been absorbed and petitioner's absorption has not been ordered, this writ petition has been filed. 2. Shri Rajesh Tiwari, learned counsel for the State, points out that petitioner was engaged in the year 2001 and the employees in whose cases orders have been passed were absorbed in the year 2005 and now after a period of more than six years, it is stated by Shri Tiwari that no relief can be granted to the petitioner. 3. If the petitioner feels that persons like him have been regularized and similar benefit is denied to the petitioner, it is for the competent authority of the department to consider and take a decision. It is not for this Court to issue a mandamus for absorption of the petitioner. Absorption of the petitioner is controlled by various other factors like availability of vacancy, suitability and qualification of the candidate and the reasons and the grounds on which benefit have been granted to various other employees in the year 2005. 4. That being so, without going into the merits of the matter, the competent authority is directed to consider and decide the claim of the petitioner in accordance to law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order along with a detailed representation of the petitioner. 5. With the aforesaid, the petition stands disposed of. Certified copy as per rules.
