(3.) Learned Counsel for the Petitioners at the outset stated that since U.P. Absorption of Retrenched Employees of the State Government or Public Corporation in Government Service Rules, 1991 (hereinafter referred to as the "1991 Rules") are not applicable to the Census department employees, therefore, he is not pressing the above relief on the basis of 1991 Rules but his prayer is that he may be directed to be considered for regularisation in view of Government Orders dated 21.08.2007, 09.10.2007 and 29.04.2008.
