THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27779 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners are working as Village Electricity Workers in the Cooperative Electricity Supply Society Limited, Siricilla, 2nd respondent herein, for the past several years. After repeated demands being made by the Associations, the 2nd respondent approached the Commissioner of Cooperation and Registrar of Cooperative Societies, 1st respondent herein for according sanction to create the posts of Assistant Helpers in a newly constituted cadre. Such permission was accorded on 19.11.2010. The society in turn passed a resolution on 01.06.2011 to the effect that 170 temporary village electricity workers and six contract helpers be appointed against the newly sanctioned posts. It is stated that through proceedings dated 10.06.2011, the 2nd respondent appointed as many as 126 village electricity workers as Assistant Helpers. The grievance of the petitioners is that they are not issued orders of appointment, on the ground that they figured as accused in C.C.No.722 of 2007 pending in the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Sircilla. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the criminal case itself was instituted on the basis of a frivolous complaint submitted by one of the Directors and the petitioners cannot be denied the benefit of appointment. He contends that the petitioners struggled for about more than two decades with a meager salary, with a fond hope of being appointed on regular basis, and that they are denied such a benefit on the ground that they are figuring as accused. Learned counsel for the 2nd respondent on the other hand submits that once the petitioners are figuring as accused and their names were shown in the F.I.R., the 2nd respondent cannot be expected to appoint them ignoring such involvement. It is no doubt true that a case is pending for the past four years and it is on the basis of a complaint filed by one of the Directors. The fact however remains that the names of the petitioners figured in the F.I.R. as well as the charge sheet. The 2nd respondent cannot ignore such involvement. The interests of the petitioners can be protected by directing the disposal of the case itself at the earliest. It is just un-understandable as to why a case of such a nature is pending for the past four years. The career of several persons is involved. The trial Court cannot keep the matter pending any longer. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the cases of the petitioners shall be considered depending upon the outcome of C.C.No.722 of 2007. The learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Sircilla shall take up the case on day-to-day basis and dispose of the same as early as possible. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 11.10.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION N0. 27779 of 2011 Date: 11.10.2011 JSU
