Since, the above 37 Grade II Warders considered are similarly placed persons in all respects with that of writ petitioners in WP No. 11909 of 2006, the Government have decided to regularise the services of 37 Female Grade-II Warders in Prison Department who were appointed in various Government Orders, listed in the Annexure to this order from the date of filing of Original Application/Writ Petition and to grant monetary benefits notionally from the date of their regularization and actually from the date of joining as Female Grade-II Warder of Prisons and order accordingly.” 5. In view of the Government Order, cited supra, no further adjudication is required in the present Writ Appeal, since the respondents have confined their reliefs with reference to the Government Order cited supra. 6. Accordingly, the present Writ Appeal stands disposed of. However, there shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
