THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.850 of 2003 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus directing the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioners by absorbing them in the existing and future permanent vacancies with all consequential benefits including back wages from the date of their initial appointment on par with other regular employees and consequently direct the respondents to appoint the petitioners in the existing Class-III vacancies. It appears, all the petitioners are Graduates and were appointed on N.M.R. basis and have been working since 1985. It is their grievance that though they are entitled for regularization of their services as per G.O.Ms.No.212 dated 22.4.1994, the respondents are not regularizing their services till date. In the counter filed by the respondents, it is asserted that all the petitioners belong to O.C. category. There are no regular vacancies available that too in O.C. roster points, therefore case of the petitioners cannot be considered for absorption under G.O.Ms.No.212 dated 22.4.1994. The University has prepared a list of 112 NMRs and as per the said list, petitioners stood at serial Nos.78, 81, 69, 71, 72, 77 and 75 respectively and there are other candidates at serial Nos.70, 74, 76, 79 and 80 who stand on the same footing as that of petitioners. As and when regular vacancies arise, proposals to absorb the NMRs will be taken with the prior approval of the Government by following seniority and rule of reservation. In fact, during the pendency of the writ petition, it appears respondents have regularized the services of petitioners in the cadre of Watchman in the year 2009. However, some of the petitioners did not join as Watchman and they are being continued as NMRs even as of today. The learned counsel for petitioners however asserted that out of (126) vacancies sanctioned by the Government, only (99) vacancies were filled up and the balance 27 vacancies are still vacant. In fact, petitioners are entitled for absorption against those vacancies in Class-III category. The respondents instead of considering the cases of petitioners for absorption, kept the sanctioned vacancies idle and unfilled. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to consider the cases of petitioners (except petitioner No.4 since died) for absorption into Class-III category in the existing vacancies as per the sanctioned accorded by the Government earlier and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 3.2.2011 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.850 of 2003 3.2.2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.850 of 2003 Date: 3rd February, 2011 Between: R.Sambi Reddy and others. ..
