1. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners were working in the erstwhile M.P.S.R.T.C., however after creation of the State of Chhattisgarh a separate Road Transport Corporation has not been constituted in the State of Chhattisgarh, therefore, their services were placed in the control of respondent/Chhattisgarh Infrastructure Development Corporation (for short 'C.I.D.C.'). He would further submit that the State Government has issued number of circulars deciding to absorb services of the employees working in the erstwhile M.P.S.R.T.C in various Corporation/Mandals in the State of Chhattisgarh and in furtherance of the said policy several employees have already been absorbed.
2. Learned counsel would further submit that for the present, the petitioners would confine their prayer for issuance of direction to the respondent authorities to take a decision on the representation pending before the said authority. He is restricting his prayer in view of the order passed by this Court in the matters of O.P. Singh Vs. State of Chhattisgarh & others1, Abdul Hakim Vs.

The State of Chhattisgarh & others5 and Chandrayan Singh Thakur & others Vs. The State of Chhattisgarh & others6. 1 WP (S) No.5521/2010 2 WP (S) No.473/2013 3 WP (S) No.476/2013 4 WP (S) No.1220/2013 5 WP (S) No.1458/2013 6 WP (S) No.2128/2013
3. In view of the above, all the writ petitions are disposed of with a direction that in the event petitioners submit fresh representations before the competent authority of the respondent within a period of four weeks, the said authority shall consider and decide petitioners' representation in an objective manner keeping in view the circulars issued by the State Government from time to time, as also the orders of absorption passed with respect to the similarly placed employees, as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of submission of representations.
4. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case and the respondent authorities shall decide the matter, on its own merits, strictly in accordance with law, without treating any observation made in this order, as opinion on the merits of the case.
