JUDGMENT 1.Heard on the question of admission and interim relief. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is working with the respondents/authorities since 2003 and has filed a representation claiming regularization but the same has not been decided till date. He therefore, prays that the authorities be directed to do so. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any merits in the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner in view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Others Vs. Umdevi and Others, (2006) 4 SCC 1 . However, looking to the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, without entering into the merits of the case, the petition filed by the petitioner is disposed of with a direction to the effect that in case the petitioner files a copy of the order passed today along with a copy of the petition, the authority concerned shall consider and decide the representation of the petitioner expeditiously, in accordance with law. However, it is made clear that this court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case and therefore the authority would be at liberty to examine the matter keeping all facts and facets into consideration and thereafter either accept or reject the representation by passing a reasoned order. 4. With the aforesaid directions, the petition filed by the petitioner stands disposed of. C.C. as per rules.
