THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.22878 of 1996 Dated:19.12.2006 Between 1.d.Krishnamachary and others. …..Petitioners and 1.The Regional Joint Director of School Education, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.22878 of 1996 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the impugned order dated 12.9.1996 passed by the 1st respondent vide proceedings in Rc.No.6162/A1/94 as illegal and arbitrary and contrary to Rule 12 sub-rule 8 of G.O.Ms.NO.1, Edn (P.S2) dated 1.1.1994. It appears that the petitioners are working with the 5th respondent-School Jiyaguda, Hyderabad as teachers since 12.6.1995. When 5 vacancies of SGBT have arisen, a notification was issued and applications were called for. The petitioners submitted their applications and were selected by a duly constituted Selection Committee. However, when the proposals were sent for approval, the competent authority vide impugned proceedings dated 12.9.1996 rejected the case of the petitioners. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. While admitting the writ petition, this Court on 30.10.1996 granted interim suspension of the impugned proceedings and directed the respondents to continue the petitioners in service. Now, it is more than 10 years the interim order was passed. Neither the counsel for petitioners nor the counsel for respondents are aware of the actual position, as of now. But, it is represented that the petitioners are continuing in their respective posts. Hence, I deem it appropriate to direct the 3rd respondent to conduct fresh selections in consultation with the District Educational Officer and send proposals to the competent authority for re- consideration. Till such time, the services of the petitioners shall be continued. However, this order shall not be given effect to, if the services of the petitioners were already regularized. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. _________ 19-12-2006 rkk
