THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26427 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners are working as Barbers and Bajanthris in Sri Maridamma Ammavari Devasthanam, Peddapuram. The Commissioner of Endowments, the second respondent, issued proceedings dated 15.11.2008 appointing the fifth respondent as Sannai Vidwan and allotted him the third respondent Devasthanam. It is stated that another person by name N. Rambabu was similarly allotted. The petitioners feel aggrieved by the said proceedings. They contend that they are rendering the services for the Devasthanam for the past several decades and even while their services are intact, the second respondent issued the impugned proceedings. On behalf of the Devasthanam, a counter affidavit is filed. It is stated that though the second respondent issued proceedings dated 15.11.2008 appointing the fifth respondent and another in Devasthanam, revised proceedings were issued on 19.02.2009 withdrawing the proceedings dated 15.11.2008 and allotting the said individuals to Sri Nookalamma Ammavari Temple, Chinthaluru village of East Godavari District. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Endowments, and learned Standing Counsel for Devasthanam. The order challenged in this writ petition is one of many, which were issued indiscriminately and without taking the respective Devasthanams into consideration. The Commissioner felt as though he is the ultimate authority and he can do anything whatever he intends. No efforts were made even to verify as to whether there exists any vacancy in Devasthanam, before the incumbents were posted. The wisdom appears to have dawned upon the second respondent and he has taken corrective steps. On issuance of proceedings dated 19.02.2009 the posting of the fifth respondent stands cancelled and the grievance of the petitioner seizes to exist. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. 8th July, 2010 Js.
