THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Wednesday, 24th day of October,2007 W.P.No.724 of 1999 Between:- U. Kondala Rao … Petitioner and A.P. State Electricity Board, rep. by its Member Secretary, Vidyuth Soudha, Somajiguda, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.724 of 1999 ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not considering the case of the petitioner for protecting his seniority and for effecting promotions on par with his juniors working under the 3rd respondent-unit as arbitrary and illegal; consequently, to direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for protection of his seniority and for effecting promotions with effect from the date on which his juniors have been promoted with all consequential benefits. There is no necessity of going into all the details. It is suffice to notice that the petitioner worked initially as a Watchman in the 3rd respondent-unit. Thereafter, he was sent on deputation to the 2nd respondent. It is his grievance that though his lien is protected while being deputed to work with the 2nd respondent, his promotion is denied and many of his juniors in the 3rd respondent-unit are promoted to the rank of Foreman. From the above, it is clear that the petitioner is seeking relief only against the 3rd respondent. But, against the 3rd respondent, the Writ Petition was already dismissed for default vide Court Order dated 21-2-2003. In view of the same, nothing survives for adjudication in the Writ Petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. 24-10-2007 prk
