HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR W.P.No.15663 of 1996 MONDAY, THE 9th DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2009 Between: B.S.Satyanarayana Reddy ….PETITIONER(S) and The Commissioner of Collegiate Education, Nampally, Hyderabad and others …RESPONDENT(S) HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR W.P.No.15663 of 1996 ORDER: (PER SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH) In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks for issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to regularize his services in the 2nd respondent college as Lecturer in Commerce as per G.O.Ms.No.362 Education dated 07.10.1994. Heard the learned counsel on either side. Admittedly, the petitioner joined as a Lecturer in Commerce in the 2nd respondent’s college on 10.07.1995. It is stated that previously he worked in some other college from 1990 to 1995. One of the conditions stipulated in para 9.5 of G.O.Ms.No.328 Education (CE-III) Department dated 15.10.1997 is that for being eligible for regularization of service, a part-time Lecturer must have put in a service of 3 academic years as on 30.07.1991 or 5 academic years as on 25.11.1993 as the case may be and also continuing in service (emphasis supplied) on the date of issuance of those orders. Therefore, it is clear that even if the petitioner establishes that the post of part-time lecturer in which he is said to have been working in the 2nd respondent college is an aided post and that he worked in another college as a lecturer for a period of five years from 1990 to 1995, he cannot be said to have satisfied the condition of minimum required service as prescribed in G.O.Ms.No.328 dated 15.10.1997 and, therefore, he is not entitled to be considered for regularization of service as sought. The Apex Court in A.MANJULA BHASHINI AND OTHERS VS. THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, A.P. WOMEN’S COOPERATIVE FINANCE CORPORATION LTD. AND ANOTHER[1] upheld the validity of the Andhra Pradesh (Regulation of Appointments to Public Services and Rationalization of Staff Pattern and Pay Structure) Act, 1994 (for short `the 1994 Act') by Amendment Act Nos.3 and 27 of 1998, so also the cut off date as fixed for continuance of their service subject to the required period of service as on 25.11.1993. In view thereof, the petitioner is not entitled for the relief sought and the writ petition is devoid of merits and hence is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. The interim order granted earlier stands vacated. No order as to costs. ___________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J ___________________________ VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR,J 9th November 2009 CVRK [1] 2009(5) ALD 58 (SC)
