HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28057 Of 2011 ORDER: The wife of the petitioner was appointed as a Junior Assistant in Sri Vara Siddhi Vinayaka Swamy Devasthanam (for short ‘Devasthanam’), Kanipakkam. However, she died on 08-06-2009. On a representation made by the petitioner, the Executive Officer of the Devasthanam, recommended the case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate grounds. The Commissioner of Endowments is said to have granted permission on 02-01-2010 for appointment of the petitioner. Taking the same into account, the Executive Officer is said to have appointed the petitioner as Junior Assistant on 16-01-2010. 2. Recently, the matter pertaining to the regularization of services of NMRs, figured before this Court and certain directions were issued. In the process of verification, the Government in Revenue (Endowments) Department, issued notices to various persons on 09-09-2011, who are said to be the beneficiaries of employees. One such is issued to the petitioner. The same is challenged in this writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Endowments. 4. It is, no doubt, true that the petitioner entered into service only on 16-01-2010 and the impugned notice pertains to regularization of services of the employees much prior thereto. The object, with which the notice was issued to the petitioner, is not immediately before this Court. However, the petitioner can certainly put forward his contention and there is no reason that the respondents would not take the same into account. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to submit his explanation / representation in reply to the notice within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J October 19, 2011. KTL
