"This writ petition stands allowed and the respondents are directed to regularise the services of the petitioners in the light of the judgment of this court rendered on February 2 and December 7, 2021," the judge said.

The petitioners' case is that they have been working as computer operators in various RTOs in Tamil Nadu. Their work is related to data entry, backlog update, photograph of individuals, printing and lamination of cards.

They were all originally engaged through state-run ELCOT and later through other agencies. The petitioners have been continuously engaged for a period of 15 to 20 years.

Taking note of the continuous and increasing workload in the Transport department, its commissioner sent a proposal to the government in May 2014 and a reminder in December 2017. But there was no response.

Hence, the present writ petition.
