Petitioner And The District Cooperative Officer, Prakasam, Prakasam district, Ongole and another. .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.19173 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the second respondent in preventing the petitioner from attending to his duties and not permitting him to sign in the attendance register and not paying salary from December 2004 as arbitrary and illegal and consequently direct the second respondent to permit the petitioner to attend to his duties and sign the attendance register. It appears, petitioner was appointed as Milk Tester in the second respondent society on 1.3.1987 on temporary basis and subsequently his services were regularized in pursuance of the resolution passed by the society on 31.3.1987 and petitioner was paid a monthly salary of Rs.1450/-. While that being so, despite attending to duty regularly, petitioner was not permitted to sign in the attendance register and he was not paid salary from September 2004. According to the petitioner, neither he was involved in any misconduct nor was suspended or terminated from service. The learned counsel for respondents submitted that the petitioner, after disposal of Writ Petition No.19879 of 2004 on 3.11.2004, under which he was paid salary and other allowances till September 2004, and from September 2004 onwards he did not report to duty in spite of best efforts made by the respondents. The learned counsel further contended that the petitioner did not report to duty nor he is interested in working. However, he made a representation on 16.7.2005 seeking to permit him to join the duty. From the above, it is clear that admittedly, petitioner is not working since September 2004 and he also made a representation as noticed above. Under those circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider and dispose of the representation purported to have been filed by the petitioner on 16.7.2005, as per law, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 1.2.2011 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.19173 of 2005 1.2.2011
